While a good dive bar mixes together a bunch of neon signs, neighborhood regulars, and cheap stiff drinks, the Rail Station in South Minneapolis goes even further: they jumped their number of taps up to 40 beers (fitting in all the local stuff you could want), they feature a legitimate food selection, there’s a sizeable patio for smoke breaks, and you can even get free beads during Vikings games. Packer fans are even welcome.
