Proceeds to the artist! posted by Seanfen on Oct. 24, '08 at 9:15 AM
I loved hearing that all the ticket money goes to the artists. I happily paid the full ticket price as well help out the theatre space with a donation. I went to one show there and saw some really impressive dance, spoken word and awesome break dancers. Good times, everyone go support it!

At this laid-back coffeehouse, expect to find an ambitious live-music schedule (performed in an adjacent music room), a nicely retro setting and inexpensive fare that effortlessly swings from breakfast (burritos, oatmeal, waffles) to dinner (black-bean burger, smoked trout salad, aoili/three-cheese grilled sandwich). Beyond coffee, there's an impressive beer selection (including 24 tap choices, from Bell's Oberon Ale to Frostop root beer) and more than a dozen affordable wines by the glass.
Perhaps the most creative menu you'll encounter at a bowling alley. The postage stamp-size kitchen cranks out an appealing range of snacks and full meals: grilled bison over field greens with a buttermilk-blue cheese dressing, a fantastic potato salad, salmon with tarragon pesto and basmati rice, a spicy pad Thai, an artisanal cheese plate with locally raised smoked trout, one of the city's best burgers (made with grass-fed Minnesota beef) and a justifiably popular carrot cake. Breakfast (scrambles, biscuits and gravy, omelets) is hugely popular, particularly on weekends. The beer and ale list is exceptional, as is the affordable, adventurous (particularly for a bowling alley) wine list.
Step inside and you might as well be in Dublin. With its stamped tin ceiling and hand-carved wooden bar, it has the timeless look and charm of a traditional Irish pub. Serving corned beef sandwiches, corned beef dinner, shepherd's pie poached salmon and a grilled onion, mushroom and tomato boxty (potato pancake) as well as some less Gaelic specialties such as lobster-stuffed chicken and walleye almondine. The bar offers a selection of Irish whiskies, plus Harp and
Guinness on tap.

The schnitzel and sauerbraten are good year-round at this friendly, unpretentious German restaurant, and on a sunny summer day there's no more blissful place to quaff down a stein of Hacker-Pschorr or carve up a bratwurst than the lovely patio at the Black Forest Inn. Sculptures and a fountain adorn the partially shaded dining area, and there is even a retractable canvas roof in case of an unforeseen downpour. All the German classics are available, from Wiener schnitzel and sauerbraten to the best apfelstrudel in town. If you are looking for lighter fare, the choices range from a seafood salad and a vegetarian lentil spaetzel to a grilled salmon kebab and an Alsatian sauerkraut casserole.
