Reviews, Recipes, and Random Slices of Life

Edit: I went with Grumpy's. No minimum, no rental fee, side room with a door that closes.

So, the plans for having the bachelorette at the Chatterbox are imperiled. susanofstohelit, who was arranging the reservation, was only recently told that for a group our size to reserve a space, they required a minimum catering pre-order that's actually kinda large. And we weren't planning on really ordering dinner, let alone either one of us fronting that much.

So now it'll either be moved to a) another bar/restaurant that allows groups that large to reserve space without pre-ordering everything, or b) somebody's house, probably mine.

And of course, the person who was organizing this is now going out of the country, so I've gotta pick up and plan it. (Before I was only inviting folks.)

Quick--what bar/restaurants in St. Paul/Minneapolis (ideally Minneapolis) have a large space for a group of 25+, like a party room, that doesn't have a catering minimum.
