Continuing this week's theme of frugality, Thrifty Minneapolis Gay brings you to a venue known for it's dance-happy, decidedly younger crowd-- an environment where a gussied up fellow looking for a date with another gussied up fellow might be heavily encouraged by the ultra modern dance music, flirty lighting, and of course- fantastically strong drinks.  What gay Mecca might this entail?  The Saloon.

Wednesday nights are key for those enchanted by the above, but with bruised wallets to consider.  Coined as 'hump night', The Saloon offers a difficult to beat trio of thrift anytime after 10 p.m. with $2 well drinks/domestic taps, $5 pitchers, or, the bang-for-your-buck tastic $3 long islands-- and to top it off; no cover!

If Wednesdays aren't your preferred weeknight of drinking, consider a Tuesday!  The final Tuesday of each month is known as Latin Night with D.J. Riscko, and any brave souls who sing karaoke between 9-10 p.m. get a comped drink; a thrifty social lubricant that will aid in any Salsa/Tango proclivities a patron might fancy.

The Saloon is located at 830 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55403
