"Spot Bar is a proper Hamm’s bar — it serves Minnesota’s favorite golden elixir on tap. (Or a Pig’s Eye pilsner, if you prefer.) As far as old-time dives go, it’s hard to compete with Spot Bar. It’s been a neighborhood staple since 1885. Come for the meat raffles, the pull tabs, and the hotdish cookoffs." - Cinnamon Janzer, Justine Jones, Eater Staff
