Storied dive bar with pub grub, pool tables & strong drinks
"The CC Club is (arguably) South Minneapolis’s most beloved dive. An old haunt of bands like the Replacements, Hüsker Dü, and Soul Asylum (the ‘Mats “Here Comes a Regular” is believed to be about the bar) have played here, and CC is packed night in and night out with anyone — and everyone — who loves Minneapolis’s determinedly unpretentious dive culture. Put a quarter down on the pool tables in the back." - Natalia Mendez

"A long-running south Minneapolis bar whose co-owner is considering retirement and possibly putting the business up for sale after more than a decade of joint ownership; Randy Segal, who co-owns the place with Steve Shapiro, says he would offer the business to the staff first if they’re interested in purchasing collectively. Both co-owners celebrated their 75th birthdays this year, and they deny that impending Lyndale Avenue construction is the reason they’re contemplating a sale, despite social-media speculation, per the Star Tribune." - Justine Jones

"I saw that recreating the CC Club as a LEGO model would cost between $5,000 and $6,000 and result in a piece roughly three feet wide, four feet long, and 18 inches high. Fuchs captures familiar exteriors and tiny interior touches — even glasses on the bar tops — that evoke the dive-bar atmosphere without the stale beer smell, conveying the late-night allure and a twinge of nostalgia for pre-pandemic live music, cheap beer, and friendships made in the dark of a dive bar." - Joy Summers
