Vita.mn's "Best Gay Bars" List 2012

Vita.mn has released their annual list issue.

Vita.mn Explaines:

"Here at Vita.mn, we're more interested in hearing what you think about the Twin Cities than in listening to ourselves prattle on and on. So we invented our unique little piece of "lists" software (© 2006) that lets online users share their personal Top 10s on everything from fine dining to sex toys to bathrooms (not necessarily in that order). Then, all of your Top 10s get combined into a master list representing the public consensus as of right now. Last time we checked, Vita.mn had 2,312 of these lists. We've compiled 138 of our favorites into this, the sixth annual List of Lists issue."

See who won "best gay bar" and some of our other favorite lists after the jump."

New downtown rooftop patio

The Team behind Crave (please note: the restaurant, not the party KRAVE) is opening a new restaurant in the old downtown Shinders location. The 200 person rooftop patio is going to be quite a sight!

"The predominant feature is a retractable, 28-foot-high glass roof, which, when closed, will become a four-season, climate-controlled space."- Rick Neslon, Strib

A 4 season rooftop patio, how awesome is that! (and we're glad something finally moved into that old Shinders)

The project is said to be completed by early November.
