Lou, just the owner of Lee's

All bars are not created equal. Hail the venerable institution that is Lee's Liquor Lounge, a 1950s era watering hole in downtown Minneapolis. Originally opened in 1957 by Lee, Lou's been in charge of Lee's since 1977 and has managed to survive the roller-coaster of the changing times. With music nearly every night, Lee's is spacious and immaculately aged, like a well worn and cared for pair of shoes. Truly, it must be seen to be believed. A labor of love, unequaled in America all because of a man named Lou.
