Minnesota Bar in a Town of 5 People 

I used to be a bartender and waitress there about 19 years ago. Met my husband sitting right where you did day after Thanksgiving 2003. We now have 2 kids and are still happily married! Great bar!

IM ONE OF THE 5!

$35 after tip for ribs, cheese curds, and 3 drinks is a hell of a deal

Never has anyone entered a bar bathroom and said "there's no coke here."

I love the slow decline into drunkenness by the end of the video.

Imagine going to a town then the population immediately rises like almost 20% lmao

this bar looks cooler than half the places i’ve been in major cities that pride themselves on their nightlife and “bar culture”. and i bet the locals are fun and down to earth. also $27 for a full rib meal and three drinks? man what the hell 😂 looks like i need to road trip to the Big Leaf

This reminds of my old favorite tv show “ Insomniac with Dave Attell” except this version is the small town bar version. I love it!

Current Alexandria resident, grew up in the little town of Miltona. Leaf Valley is always on the roster for bar hopping. So cool you guys did this!

My cabin is near here and the next town over has a small bar in Millerville, MN. Another great one you should check out! It’s always busy there

What a ridiculously cool bar. This might be the new best

I turned 18 on a Wednesday, then was bouncing for a live band at this bar on Friday, then had a high school track meet Saturday... By summer band season, I was tending bar in that sweet patio area. It gets super busy summer weekends with the resorter crowd from all the lakes nearby. My family's farm was only a few miles down the road.

My grandparents ( around 1915) were from leaf valley. All the surrounding towns are full of relatives and memories. Thank you.

Trust me, you can find coke in a bar bathroom lol

In, Michigan there's a place called old tavern inn, oldest established business in Michigan. I think you really should hit that one up, awesome food and drinks. And if you go out west, go to the hitchin post in Melrose, Montana. Best bacon I've ever had, might not be the best you've had but definitely top 5. Plus they make great drinks!

I never knew what a pull tab was until I watched this series. You are doing God’s work.

Absolutely love the concept of this series keep ‘em coming!

That sounded like such a good idea to eat that "rib sandwich"

Done damage in that bar and both bars in miltona...my cousins made me buy articles of clothing off people in all 3 of them to see if I could get a new wardrobe !...give it a whirl!😆😅🤣

My first pull tab was at the Mason Jar in Mason, MI, somehow I had never seen them before. I won $200 and haven't bought one since.

I was passing through Wilton North Dakota and stopped at the bar. After a beer， a local came in with a friend and went behind the bar and served herself，then she and her companion left their phones and purses unattended at the bar to go play pull tabs. I broke the pull tab machine after I put a wrinkly 5 in. The bacon cheeseburgers were huge and came out fast. There was a mount of a deers bung hole behind the bar. 5/5 would go again.

My late grandparents favorite place to eat. Their lake home was on Miltona, just down the road. Grandpa loved the tiny "shrimpies" - breaded fried shrimp. Nothing but the best!

I just ate there Saturday and I unsuccessfully invested $40 into pull tabs!

I played some of my first gigs here, and there's a picture of my dad behind the bar!

Great video. Sorry about your loss on pulltabs. This is on my bucket list for things to see and do. Thanks

Thanks for sharing this you betcha Ill be stopping by there !! I love MN! Been here most of my life ..:)

When you said "I heard the $250 one is still in there." That really brought back memories.

The merc is right by my cabin we go there almost every night

I've been seeing more of your videos in my feed lately and that's pretty awesome

So many sweaty brownstars on the drinky wheel of death!! Honestly my favorite place to go when at the lake!

I'm also from Minnesota. Can't tell you how many times the pull tab thing has happened to me. Somebody always wins after I 'donate' a bunch of money into the jar.😢

This was awesome! Keep this series going man!

There’s a spot here in MI in the small town of Owendale by by the Thumb. I have no idea what it’s about other than the town is super small and I drive by it on my way to Caseville. Might make for a cool spot with a little research. Love these vids, tho!

Love your videos and this new series is awesome! Keep it up!

“Hey there’s no coke in here!” said no one ever in a Midwest dive bar…

These are such awesome videos, please do more!

That bar looks very nice, I'm impressed

love this series

I spend my winters in-between puposky n debs MN. Best trails in the state to ride sleds around Bemidji! Thanks for buying pull tabs! Helps maintain the trails

Love this place, we go there every weekend we visit Lake Miltona!!

I love this series

This makes me want to visit the Midwest lol looks fun

Keep up the series!

Love that Busch Latte sign at the end.

One of my favorite bars to go to!

Love these videos! Illinois small town bar next?!

My wife and I stop there on the bike when we ride down to Alexandria. Great place

Great bar. I've been there with my grandparents - who live on Lake Miltona - for burger night, used to get a beer and burger for 5 bucks. Of course, tipping and more beers the whole night was just a twenty dollar bill.

Brings back the good ole days of drinking with a buddy down at the bar all night and the tab comes out to like $37 for both of us combined. I remember (barely) the first time I got a $100 bar tab after moving out of the Midwest, I made the bartender explain to me like 3 times how it could be so much.

That’s a way better bar than most. Nice work, Leaf Valley!

Been there many times, great little bar.

Great series !

I love this content!!!

I love this series that yall have going on lol

Tillie’s Icon Alexandria Indiana is a gem

These type of people must drive past my house every day, there's always FN pull tabs all over front of my yard

You should do The Corner Club in Hill City MN, in the winter! People come from all around on Saturdays with their Snowmobiles.

Love to see Minnesota love ❤️

I grew up on Lake Miltona watching the boat parade, it’s the real deal

I gotta go there. Love small town bars.

Ohhhhh youbetcha 🤭 _ beautiful Americans!!!! 📮🤍📫 Love this vid Good Job buddy ✌️👩‍💻

Love it! Thanks

Go to Rantoul, IL to Bud’s Bar! Grew up there and that is always the place to go!

I like this concept. Funny af. I suggest going to small bars during hunting season.

my favorite bar since I was ...19. 🤣

Just makes me miss Minnesota! Went to the American legion all the time for pull tabs!

Damm!!! Pull tab investing shirt is absolutely killing it.

These are so fun!

Need more of these

I love the Merc! Shooting dart league against Jon and his team is always a blast in Leaf Valley. On a good day, you get to see Harley and Kristi too!

One of my favorite places!

Great series

I live in another small town 15 minutes from the Merc! Food is fantastic

proud to be a minnesotan 🤌🏻

That's a super nice bar with a menu better than my local restaurants. And like you said, half the price. Places like that I consider the fact and leave a 100% tip.

What a great video! I want to go to this place!

Almost the same in Symco, Waupaca, Wisconsin. about 30 houses and three bars!

i always loved the Pickwick inn in Pickwick Mn.

A week ago I delivered 2 pivot irrigation systems to the owner of that bar! It's a great place to eat!

I used to deliver pop to this bar when I worked for coke. There is a door in the floor behind the bar where they keep the premix tanks and there is a tunnel from the bar to the house !

The outpost in Ramsey MN....2 pull tab booths.....you wont be disappointed.

Go to 'Monies' Maple Plain MN. It is the definition of small town bar hah. Its just on the edge of 'suburbs' and 'country.'

So cool def best bars on in the small towns

I appreciate your reminder to tip your bartender!

You should come down to Luckenbach, Texas.. it has a population of 3 and the bar has a post office in it.

I literally lived 5 miles from there. Great food. Cold beer. Slogan for the town " drinking community with a farming problem"

These are awesome! Digging the new content! 🍻 #levelup

Have family that lives near here and have been a few times. Very good bar

If your doing this during labor day weekend, you should check out nimrod Minnesota, during labor day weekend the towns population is 69, and they have bands, vendors, a rodeo, all weekend plus the best attraction of all, the bar

No coke in the bathroom? Can't be that lit of a bar...

Lake View Inn - Markesan, WI. Classic small town/lake bar in central Wisconsin.

Solid content!

You gotta Hit Rogers Bar in Watersmeet Michigan. Go in the winter for the chili

this bar is only 3 hrs or so away ... err tempting little road trip.

1:37 that's me and my bestie! We love playing cards and never for money ❤ The bar? That's my pad. I make a mean dirty Martini.

The Charlie weaver bartender after the shot! Hahaha

Finally. A well labeled coke room.

Check out the winter garden in Livonia Michigan

Looking forward to having some dinner rolls of my own someday.

Love the series. Why would you ever give away money on pull tabs?? 😂
