You are looking south on Central Avenue NE near 3rd Ave NE. This is the King of Clubs bar, featured briefly in the film "Fargo"(as the Moor head meeting place between the husband and the men hired to kidnap his wife).
commentsBarbara Zimmer 1006 center cir. n.e. -- 2002-10-05 My Grandfather(Joe Valenta) ran his Speakeasy in the above Apts. of the King Of Clubs during the ban on liquor. Darin Edina, MN -- 2005-12-17 This no longer exists!!! It's now an apartment building!! I spent 2 hours of my life looking for it! John Meunier 301 Wolf Swamp Road -- 2006-09-30 I owned a restaurant / bar named "King of Clubs" in Chicopee, MA. I ran the club with my wife for eight years. We made many friends and had a lot of laughs. cathy 618 5th st .N.E. -- 2007-12-29 I have lived Northeast all of my life. You have no idea of the history of the King of Clubs. The very fabric of the areas history is magnificent. Anna Carlson Ellingsworth MInneapolis -- 2009-03-12 My fathter bought this bar in 1984 and ran it until he passed away in 1994, My brothers and I had it until the sale of it in 2001. I love this picture and would like to get a copy if possible. I have many good memories of customers, and good times at this place. It seems so strange to drive down Central and not see it anymore. When the movie Fargo was filmed there, of course just a minute in the film, it was a blast to meet the Coen brothers, and the stars. Interesting to see all the work involved in such a short stint in the movie. We thought the movie wouldn't even make it the theaters and it won an academy award, of course on that night we had a huge party there and channel four came to interview some of us. Anyway, just wanted to say this place is missed. Post a comment on this picture | |
