"Palmer’s opened at 500 Cedar Avenue South in 1906, made it through Prohibition and served as the setting for a couple of scenes in the locally filmed Charles Bukowski biopic, Factotum. It’s a landmark of a neighborhood bar and Zaccardi understands what makes this place so special. That’s why, according to a Star Tribune article, owner Lisa Hamner chose him to carry on the tradition. Hamner had been looking to sell the bar after the unexpected death of her husband Keith Berg in 2015." - Joy Summers
