Minnesota’s, a bar in Longbeach NY is conveniently located off of Minnesota st. I suppose you could say it’s an o.k. place given that we are on LI and what can you expect. Upon entering Minnesota’s they hit you with a five dollar charge. No biggie, I guess, unless you’re a broke lush like me who would rather spend your 5 bucks on a drink, the sole purpose of going out at night. Minnesota’s has your basic beers on tap including Stella and Guinness, my personal favorites. If you want to get a decent mixed drink—think again. I ordered a mudslide on the rocks, they gave me Kahlua and milk, then charged me 8 bucks for it. They can make apple martinis though. I suppose this because there are only two liquors in that one. Just remember you have ask for a good vodka or at least say “no Smirnoff please.”

As for the amount of fun to be had at this place, the music isn’t so bad and there is plenty of space on the dance floor, be that a good or a bad thing, I’m not so sure. If you go with a fun group of people, there is definitely a good time to be had, given you get good and drunk. The night I went to Minnesota’s there was a herd of guys standing around the dance floor hovering over the females. I suppose that could also be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view. Also “Fat Bastard” or should I say a fat bastard seems to have glued himself to a stool at one of the bars, the place has two. He gladly molests any woman who dares to order a drink next to him. No wonder the only open space at the bar is next to him.

At the end of my night I actually had a pretty good time, but just remember, the no smoking ban doesn’t apply here, so if you’re like me and you actually care about your health, just remember they won’t pay for your dry cleaning bills when you come home smelling like an ash tray. If you live outside of Longbeach, there is one more perk about the place. You’ll probably have to pass 24 hr. Bagels on the way home, which means you don’t have to go to bed hungry—No Pucking in the parking lot though, Please!

HARDCORE NOTE...Yes I puked in the parking lot at the bagels place lets move on with our lives.
