Runyon's

The faded wooden sign above the entrance at Runyon’s features a pair of dice, a nod to the original owner, who reportedly took a gamble on the spot in the early nineteen seventies. This tavern serves as a quiet holdout against the glass towers of downtown Minneapolis. Inside, the menu centers on chicken wings that earned a local reputation decades ago. The floorboards creak under the weight of a crowd that has gathered here since before the stadium went up down the street.
