Some surely disappointing news:
This, my friends, is the last weekend the Harmon Place Bar, Nick & Eddie, will be open to the public...in its current location anyway. The weather should cooperate appropriately for a killer send off. Located just across the street from Loring Park, the restaurant/bar has a great view of the park and multiple outdoor tables to enjoy the projected mid-70's weather and partly cloudy skies. Tip: the brick paved alleyway is beautiful and a perfect backdrop for photos!
Here's a map for your convenience.
Nick & Eddie has been a long standing supporter of local music and this particular watering hole is certain to be missed. I frequented the bar last fall after my Thursday night burlesque class with Tomahawk Tassels. It was quite conveniently located, close to the dance studio and the place was always crawling with musicians. And I do love musicians!
The space is "probably" being replaced by Cafe Maude at Loring. The Star Tribune recently released rumblings of an exchange of the lease. There are also rumors that Nick & Eddie will be moving...not closing, but that has also not been confirmed. So, for the time being, let's all go have a drink at Nick & Eddie! Say goodbye to an old friend and welcome the inevitable change around every corner.
See you there!
