The new building on the right is an apartment complex which caters to graduate students at the U of M across the street.

The red buiding in the center was once a hotel called the 'tower hotel' The top 2 floors burned off in the 50s. Kinda stumpy now.

Can anyone please tell me if that corner building was where The Mixers Bar was 35 years ago?...I spent all my time there as a VISTA worker in Minneapolis in 1967. Please tell me Red Nelson is still around. And the Triangle Bar with Kerner, Ray and Glover playing. Drop a line.

Yes, that is where the Mixers used to be. The crowd moved to the Viking on Riverside when it closed and now to Palmers on Cedar when the Viking Closed.
Red is alive and living across the street from me in NE Mpls with wife and daughter. He is a real-estate broker, doing well and still a character.

I used to hang out at the Mixers 45 years ago. Great bar, great ribeye steak special, and great home away from home. That and the Triangle Bar on Riverside. The Mixers was at the corner of Washington and Cedar, sort of across from the White Castle. Or was it a White Tower? Anyway the last time I checked it out (many years ago now) it was "Sgt. Prestons".

yeah, that's the Mixers.
I was a part time bartender there
while going to the "U".
My years were 62-64 just when the
west bank was starting to open up.
I rode my Honda Hawk and parked it
near the side door.
Beers were 25 cents, drinks 40 cents. If you were good you could
get slightly hammered on $2.
Not a bad time.
