The place is almost as large as what I think of for a Joe Sensor's sized
bar.  I think the north end is non-smoking, but the place is big enough
to be seated well away from a smoking area.

This is fairly easy to get to from most directions.  From the downtown
Minneapolis area, take 35W north to the Stinson exit, take a left at
the first light (a 4 lane divided highway), and go about a mile north.
It's on the left in a large shopping mall parking lot.

through the cemetary to the light at the other end.  It's on your left
across the intersection.

>From the north, either exit on Industrial Boulevard, or exit further north
on Highway 88 (as for Barley John's), and go about 1-2 miles further south.
It's on your right then.

There are probably 100 spots within a "walking in the rain" distance,
and 300 within a "gee it's a nice day" walking distance, most of which
are unoccupied.

Not here, although if I remember right, there's some light Muzak in the
background.

They have a full menu, as well as a full bar.  By the way, did you mean
vegan or vegetarian?

Agreed, and the smoking situation shouldn't be a problem either.
