This is incredible. I must make a pilgrimage someday.
A legendary north Minneapolis dive bar has risen from the dead.
When one of the Twin Cities’ most notorious bars, Stand Up Frank’s, closed earlier this year, I wouldn’t have believed in a million years it would be reopened and reimagined as something called Donny Dirk’s Zombie Den. Real zombies could dig themselves out of the ground and eat my brains before that would happen, because that would be crazy.
yes! go there.
ahh i hope they have cornettos and a cocked winchester behind the bar. fab.
your gonna have to do a road trip of all these amazing places!
I went there on Wednesday, its great.
Wow I need to find this place and now. I live 20min. away and I haveb’t heard of this. AAAHHRRGGG.
Ha; *haven’t. 3 a.m. posts not my thing.
So all the barkeeps have to be Pegg’s or Frost’s?
But is it well zombie proofed? My friends and I make a point to choose our drinking places based on a sort of rating system. Lots of windows and difficult to defend entries = bad obviously.
Speaking of zombies, Shaun gets a mention in an article discussing a mathematical model of a zombie outbreak and how to eradicate zombies if such an event were to occur.

Very cool, i love the chairs by the bar their ace It’s got some really good reviews aswell
Looks awesome!
Ahh, PERFECT place for a PeggLegg/Frostitute/Eballer convention!
The term we came up with was “FrostyPeggBallers”
ah is that *official* then? well reading the frost & pegg blogs i was thinking you could abbreviate F&P to Frogg, but then there’s Edgar, hmm it is tricky. FroggE’s? Freggs?
Minneapolis is only three or so hours from where I live.
I see a pilgrimage of my own in my near future.
Roadtrip to Minneapolis! My non-American friends can fly in!
This is the bar of my dreams. Screw Cheers. This is a place where everybody knows your name… because your a surviver.
That is so incredibly cool.
I wish I was there right now!
That’s a quality work uniform!
A……….mazing, take me with you and i’ll buy the drinks all night!!!!
Tarantino’s Top 20 Movies Since 1992. He mentions Shaun of the dead 4:24.
