Strong pours, pool tables, and local music history await
"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
