"The details of Ryan Fuchs Lego models of Minneapolis dive bars are astounding. Trailer Trash is rocking inside Lee’s, a specific account of a night inside the much-missed bar is remarkably accurate considering the brick’s presumed limitations. Even the bouncer outside the door looks familiar to someone who’s enjoyed several shows and bumps inside the Minneapolis venue." - Joy Summers

Lee's Liquor Lounge is a dive bar. I went there on an evening they were giving swing dance lessons so I paid a $10.00 cover. The live band was fun and the friendly Italian bartender made me a couple of great drinks that I'd never had before.

Classic good time bar! Paneling, Elvis, and live music! That is what makes this place so special. I saw ELnO and they were awesome. An ELO cover band Swing dancing lessons on Wednesday nights and free parking too! Highly recommend!

Hookers $ Blow may well be the best cover band of good old rock hits covering 50 years from old R&B to Bowie to Hall & Oates. Lee's is a icon of good live music. I've seen some bands that have no business playing this small staple of the amazing live music scene Minneapolis is well known for world wide. Need I say 1st Ave? Prince? Flyt Tyme? Well this band is composed of more than a few old members of another local b I ys gone big band from back in the day, The Honeydogs. Play here about once a month... You like music, you should come. Going back in now, they are once again covering one of my favorite songs...

Awesome bar! One of the better places to go for live music. It's also super convenient for Twin's games because it's so close and has free parking with purchase of a drink. The bar staff is pretty good too, especially the girl with green eyes (never got her name). She was so attentive and made one of the best old fashions I've ever had. I would definitely recommend checking out, especially when they have live music!

Love the environment and the people - both patrons and staff! It's a fun, laid back, welcoming atmosphere with fabulous music along with a good preservation of its history. We're big fans of Swing Night, and Miss Shannon & Mr Bill rock the lessons!

Best dive bar ever! FAST service! Employees are amazing! Great drinks and prices! Also, they have amazing bands all the time! Reasonably priced cover for events is usually between $5-10. I will always recommend this place

Awesome place for some awesome music. Good area for enjoying the bands. Lots of drawings for different items. Charity style events all for good causes. Then of course as being a liquor lounges they do serve alcohol. Lot of alcohol. If that's your thing there's always that if nothing else. But great environment with great company. Friendly staff and friendly people. Enjoy your time at Lee's Liquor Lounge. Meet some musicians and enjoy some sound.
