Live Music Venues With the Best Food and Drinks in the Twin Cities | Eater Twin Cities

"This Uptown bar and venue serves classic bar staples kicked up a notch — think burgers made with local Peterson Craftsman Meats beef, vegan Impossible patties, nachos, and grilled cheese. There are veggie-friendly options, too, like the super savory “Boss Lady” pizza. Mortimer’s is a great spot to catch a local punk or metal show or one of Gothess’s monthly dance parties." - Natalia Mendez

Where to find the best arcades, pinball, foosball, air hockey, and video games at bars in Minneapolis and St. Paul | Eater Twin Cities

"While Mort’s may not have the most robust roster of games on this list, its offerings are strong. With classics like “Donkey Kong,” “NBA Jam,” and “Galaga” alongside a half dozen pinball machines, the happy hour deals keeps the tab small so there’s more quarters for playing. Stick around late for live music several nights a week." - Will Simons
