The Hasty Tasty is Totally Closed, Despite Confusing Social Media Presence | Eater Twin Cities

"After a brief, busy reopening intended to use up perishable inventory, I learned that the cocktail-, smoked-meats- and small-plates restaurant on the corner of Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue is now closed: owner Michael Veazey wrote to Eater Twin Cities, "The Hasty Tasty is CLOSED for the foreseeable future." The Hasty Tasty first opened in November of 2017 with chef Chris Gerster in the kitchen and Bittercube creating the cocktail menu. It appeared to close in early January, with employees reporting they had been let go without notice, and confusion followed when social-media posts teased a happy hour and an event promising two long-time residents would be sharing flautas and tacos; over the weekend customers filled the building and helped clear out perishable inventory. Veazey said he has been approached by "several A+ Minneapolis restaurant operators hoping to take over the space," though the restaurant's Facebook page continues to list normal business hours despite the closure." - Joy Summers
