"I see Grumpy’s as a cozy, chill neighborhood dive that’s been part of northeastern Minneapolis since 1908; on Sunday evenings Liz Schreiber hosts T-Bone Bingo, which she says gives people a last hurrah before the week and a shot at winning next Sunday’s dinner. The event is free to play (owner Pat Dwyer moved away from charging because of concerns about gambling), the co-hosts are described as sassy and entertaining, and the vibe feels like a mix of irreverence, acceptance, and kindness — more a slap on the back and a gentle hug than a serious gamble." - Rich Manning
"Grumpy’s, open since 1906, is the cream of the crop among Northeast’s time-worn, unpretentious neighborhood bars. Pat Dwyer and Tom Hazelmyer have been at Grumpy’s helm since ’98, and they’ve kept the bar true to its divey roots, stocked with great beer and Heggie’s pizza. Anyone and everyone is welcome at Grumpy’s. The patio is the place to be in the summer, while inside Dr. No pinball can be played year-round. Don’t skip bring-your-own-record night on Thursdays." - Natalia Mendez

"A Northeast dive bar and musician magnet where Tony Zaccardi has long tended bar; Zaccardi is well known locally as the dreadlocked, spectacled bass player for Romantica (and member of acts like Kruddler and the Guns N’ Roses cover Appetite for Zaccardi), and his regular presence behind the bar helps reinforce the spot's connection to the local music scene." - Joy Summers
