The Muddy Pig’s Called Last Call Last Night | Eater Twin Cities

"I was saddened to see that after 16 years the Muddy Pig — affectionately 'the Pig' and located on Dale near the Selby Avenue intersection — announced on Facebook it would close, saying that, like many recent closings, it has been tough times financially for small independents. Back when it opened the neighborhood and St. Paul's restaurant scene looked very different; the Pig stood out for a massive beer list with a rare depth and breadth for the time, and its menu stayed mostly the same until about a year ago when staffing changes led to adding a weekend brunch. In March a car skidded off the road and into the patio, which had only just been put back together, and on the final Tuesday night the bar was packed with well-wishers, with a few people playing bar trivia in the back seating area." - Joy Summers
