Uniquely located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis' most up-and-coming corridor, this stunning, 50-plus-year-old saloon-style bar is being put on the market BY OWNER!, who's EXTREMELY MOTIVATED thanks to his advanced age and desire to get away from Target Field and the Twins' woes. That's right: their many losses are your gain!!

Bring your vision to this eminently welcoming fixer-upper, which comes with a generously scaled & well-worn stage, "retro" wood paneling, dance floor/ floor floor, and, currently, a stock of good ole fashioned bottles (Schlitz, High Life, Hamm's) to avoid the mess and confusion of those twisting, unmanageable tap lines. No thank you! (unless you're interested in putting them in, in which case this is the perfect bar).

Do you enjoy walking or standing? Then you'll love this place's ORIGINAL TILE FLOORS, which've achieved a marvelous patina not found in modern bars (who insist on killjoy mopping and sweeping), not to mention an authentic stickiness that'll prevent even the most inebriated customers from falling! Note: alternatively, floor can be easily cleaned with mopping/sweeping.

Best described as random-chic, this bar's taken total decor confusion to THE NEXT LEVEL (haute haute haute!) by placing trinkets, beer signs, and random photos without regard for position or level; and they've even included a security measure to ensure you never have to slave in a kitchen by opting to not have one.

And say "goodbye" to commuting, as the comfortable, four-walled upstairs apartment is INCLUDED with the bar. If interested, ACT QUICKLY, as a listing with this much history will soon be history!!

This is real: if you've got the right amount of change you can own Lee's. So check it out and maybe even arrange a showing.
