Your list also seems to be a bit out of date:
Tejas
800 Nicollet Mall
That was in the Conservatory which was torn down years ago.
One non-smoking local missing from the list is the Bryant Lake Bowl.
The claim that virtually all bars in Minneapolis are restaurant/bars needs
to be challenged with a visit to NE MPLS. Sure you may be able to get
things to eat, snacky crap like chips and peanuts and perhaps a choice of
pizzas but I I would not say virtually all bars in Minneapolis are such.
Over half of sales coming from food is one good barometer.

Absolutely NOT true. Many are bar/restaurants (virtually all bars in
Minneapolis are). Martini Blu springs to mind. When presented facts which
undermine your position, your response is to stoop to outright lying?
Typical of ban supporters, I suppose. Facts, science and freedom are
obstacles easily discarded "for the public good." Also note, my list is not
comprehensive, and includes only businesses in the Minneapolis city limits.
>From that limited list only, the following pre-ban smoke-free
establishments
are/have bars:
Arcadia Cafe http://www.acadiacafe.com/
Bobino Cafe &Wine Bar http://www.bobino.com/main/main.htm (full bar)
Broders http://www.broders.com/pasta-bar/wine-list.html

Chipotle (full bar, surprizingly enough)

non-smoking bar area)

Let me also add to the list:
Loring Grill, which has a full service bar,
http://www.tcdine.com/restaurants/loring_grill_minneapolis.htm,
The Craftsman Restaurant & Bar http://www.craftsmanrestaurant.com
The Longfellow Grill - Full bar (pretty sure was non-smoking, but never
visited)
Bon Appetit (live music, drinks, no smoking) SE Mpls.
Non-smokers have had loads of options for smoke-free venues. Greed has
resulted in all for them, none for us, even if it means closing "our" places
down rather than let concenting adults expose themselves to smoke. My
retired widower neighbor now drives to Burnsville for breakfast, when he
used to go to a local grille. My next pub visit won't be Molly Quinns
(sorry! I liked the place, but I like my smokes with my Guiness). It will be
the Dubliner. There's no way I'll return to First Avenue as long as the ban
is in place. As a club with a cover, they don't allow re-entry. My once
favorite night-spot now sucks. Hope all you anti-smokers get out there for
techno DJs and punk rock this weekend! I'll be in St. Paul.
