THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN MINNEAPOLIS…? THE CARDINAL ROOM

Please be respectful of other local businesses and residents. If we need to go further into detail with this, Richard, you are no longer invited. We don’t need your brand of sad lingering around these parts, we have our own sad we can barely tend to already. There is another place for you, somewhere else, far away, hopefully.

When  you arrive, please park away from other vehicles. Maybe park two blocks away and enjoy the walk with whoever you’re with, you might learn something about each other. If you park directly in front of our establishment, Todd, your visit will be as much of a bummer as you are. Don’t be that guy. Don’t make it a problem and it won’t be a problem. Don’t make us say “don’t” to you.  Keep the hush, very hush. It is a speakeasy, so keep it down, eh?

After the doorperson checks the ID you have out and ready, gently enter our back door. As you ease through that dirty hallway (which also happens to be our exit route) proceed down the stairs to the Cardinal Room, look around, take it all in. Easter eggs in November, what? This is the most exclusive establishment in Minneapolis, we don’t need to prove tha BFM is one of our bartenders and on our payroll - IFYKYK.

NO CELLPHONES ARE ALLOWED INSIDE, IN ANY CAPACITY. We believe it does well for our health when we engage with the people around us, so feel free to do that or stare at the bottom of your glass. Do whatever you want, live your most medium life.

Have you no cash? Have you no common sense? Where is that secret hundred stashed in your wallet? Don't be cheap, no one likes that. Cannot use venmo without your phone. This is why you pay in advance. Dumb rule you say? Oh, do tell us your opinion, please. 

if you’re “just a little tipsy” then you’re not driving home, someone else is. Its the right thing to do. Your vehicle will be more safe where it is than with you inside of it. No one likes anyone carelessly doing the the wrong thing, we will always help arrange for a safe ride home.
