If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be the bacon mac n’ cheese from 1029 Bar. Known for their lobster rolls and lobster mac and cheese the food at 1029 is sinfully delicious. Grab a beer and some pull-tabs, play some bingo or even give karaoke a try while you check out the best dive bar Northeast has to offer.

The Great Ju(i)cy Lucy Debate

A source of Minnesota pride and a rivalry equal to the Packers vs. Vikings. There is no middle ground when it comes to team Matt’s of team 5-8.  While you’re in Minnesota test these burgers out for yourself and decide who is the champ.

Most say that Matt’s is the original (and it’s my personal favorite). This hole in the wall burger haven has been serving up the lava pocket goodness that is the Jucy Lucy since 1954. Keep it simple the Jucy Lucy, side of fries and a can of pop (say it right you are in Minnesota, not Minnesoda) is all you will need to get you refueled for some more winter excursions.

5-8 Club is the Juicy Lucy rival of Matt’s Bar. 5-8 Club has been cranking out these blissful burgers since 1928. The spelling isn’t the only difference between these two burger builders. 5-8’s burgers are massive in comparison and with four locations you can get your golden gooey fix whenever you get a craving.
