The 5-8 Club is known for the Juicy Lucy which is a hamburger with the cheese cooked inside. It's basically a sports bar, complete with lots of greasy food and a large selection of beers. You can dine inside or outside. The burger is so good that Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show stopped by for one while he was in town for the Superbowl. www.5-8club.com/minneapolis

Sightseeing

The Twin Cities has many wonderful places of interest. I'm highlighting those that are within 15 minutes of my home.
Minnehaha Falls is one of the natural gems of Minneapolis...and it's only a 10-minute walk away! You'll see not only the beautiful falls, but you can also hike along Minnehaha Creek out to the Mississippi River. You can rent some bikes and fun cycles there and cruise around the area. They offer free concerts Wednesday-Friday during the summer months. Sea Salt Restaurant is also in the park with delicious food and great outdoor seating. Dairy Queen is just across from the park if you need a little something sweet.
