Excellent piece by Heavy Table on the Midway Men’s Club at the Minnesota State Fair. My favorite stop (often multi-stop) when I go.

But while it may be as old-school as it gets, the place is anything but dusty. It hums with life. Fairgoers swarm every side of the nondescript building, lured by what’s rumored (loudly, and often) to be the cheapest beer at the fair — maybe the worst-kept secret in St. Paul. Inside, workers sling burgers and beer out of every side of the building, moving as fast as the flat-top and the taps will allow.
