About this listen

Palmer’s Bar is closing after an incredible 119-year run. There’s no replacement but we’ve got some ideas for your new favorite dive bar hangout. Workers are heading back to downtown Minneapolis, and our food team has the ultimate food and drink guide! Plus, we ask the burning question: are campfires still worth it?

Read more about bars that might stand in for Palmer’s, eating in downtown Minneapolis and the debate about campfires.

This week our guests are music critic Chris Riemenschneider, food and drink reporter Joy Summers, and freelance writer Tim Gihring.
