More information on Nye's Bar & Polonaise Room

Known for its old-fashioned booths and gaudy, red crushed velour upholstery, this is a combination 1950s lounge, fun-loving piano bar and host to rip-roaring polka bands. As the unofficial gateway to the ethnic Minneapolis Nordeast, the crowd is a mixture of old regulars and young hipsters looking for a new experience. The legendary Ruth Adams Polka Band normally plays the small dance room, but the crowds come to hear Lou Snider in the piano bar. The food is the normal bar fare consisting of burgers, sandwiches, salads and appetizers. Beer, cocktails, wine and soft drinks are available.Disabled Access.
