"I observed that Dusty’s Bar in Northeast Minneapolis runs a regular meat raffle (Tim Bohmer hosts on Friday nights) and that Bohmer stresses the legal side: all charitable meat raffles must be regulated by the Minnesota State Gambling Board, and unregulated games can be shut down immediately by authorities." - Rich Manning
"Whiskey drinks like water inside this unassuming red-brick Northeast fixture a stone’s throw away from the Mississippi River. Inside you can find their famed juicy Italian pork burgers crowned with caramelized onions, sweet peppers, and mozzarella. For entertainment, spend a few bucks on pull tabs, drop in for a meat raffle, or enjoy a live show or local DJs spinning in their “Big Green Booth.” — Natalia Mendez" - Justine Jones
"Whiskey drinks like water inside this Northeast fixture, a stalwart of the neighborhood’s dive bar scene. Note the old phone booth, which gives Dusty’s a bit of a time traveler’s vibe. Buy a couple of pull tabs to while away the minutes while waiting for one of the famous sandwiches, made with Italian pork sausage, caramelized onions, mozzarella, and sweet peppers." - Eater Staff
"Come for the live music and dancing in the “Big Green Booth” at Dusty’s, but stay for the food. The signature Italian sandwiches feature a juicy ground pork burger crowned with toppings like peppers and onions and a fried egg and cheese. (They can be turned vegetarian with an Impossible patty.) Want a plain ol’ burger? Dusty’s has that too, or if you’re feeling frisky, get a “half and half” — a ¼ burger and ¼ pork patty smashed together." - Natalia Mendez
"Neighborhood bars have been hit particularly hard even as all eateries are struggling. Pop by Dusty’s for a little support and a dago to-go. Those tasty little sandwiches taste just as good at home or on a picnic." - Joy Summers
