Editorial Review for Gopher Bar – by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
In Short
It doesn't get more offbeat than this: there's a framed Stars and Bars behind the bar, an old-fashioned cash register and a wall-mounted rotary phone. Not to mention the deer antlers strung with Christmas lights (even in June) and the photo of a long-graduated Gopher hockey team clad only in jockstraps. It's all about the Coney Island: dressed with chili, mustard, neon-orange grated cheese and chopped onions, and cradled in buns grilled to crunchy perfection.

Check your manners at the door, and leave the plastic at home. This bar is rustic and rude but serves the best coneys and the stiffest drinks this side of a Frat party. Evening menu turns into the Chili-dog nazi- We got dogs and chips!! Good thing they are fantastic. This is the home of the coldest beer and the hottest bartenders (the ladies I mean) You are liable to see the owners johnson at least once per visit if he is off duty. If you are P.C. this is probably not the place for you. If you like to do multiple shots and wash them down with more shots your home free.
Pros: Good Food, Everybody's nuts, Chicks kiss each othe
Cons: Bartenders nuts, Chicks are Nuts, Owners Nutz

Where else can you find dusty severed animal heads and tacky christmas lights all year round. The Gopher bar. Home of the best chilli dogs that Minnesota has to offer. Unfortunately that is all they offer. Still it is worth the visit. This place can best be described as a joint or a dive. It is small and smoky and everything is well worn.
Pros: Chilli dog
Cons: Smoky, parking is limited
