Minneapolis Restaurants closing: Uptown's Williams Pub and Stella's Fish Cafe. N.E. Mpls: Red Stag

https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/red-stag-supperclub-to-close-after-15-run-in-northeast-minneapolis/
Another beloved Minneapolis restaurant is closing its doors, making it at least the fourth eatery or bar in the city to call it quits in the past three weeks.

Northeast's Red Stag Supperclub, located near Southeast Central and East Hennepin avenues, will serve its last meal on Dec. 31 after a 15 years in business.

Placemaker recently purchased Amore Uptown, which closed two weeks ago after three decades in business. Uptown's Williams Pub and Peanut Bar and Stella's Fish Café also closed earlier this month.

Stella's with good picture of it from outside (except one can't see the magnificent rooftop patio) : https://kstp.com/kstp-news/local-news/stellas-fish-cafe-to-close-on-saturday-nov-26-permanently/


I didn't include Amore in the title, since its new owner plans on opening a new restaurant.

According to McHugh, the new owner -- Kim Bartmann of Placemaker Hospitality -- will continue to offer the surrounding neighborhood with an Italian-inspired restaurant, which will open "as soon as possible."

In 2021, Bartmann’s hospitality company, behind eight Twin Cities restaurants, including Tiny Diner and Red Stag Supperclub, reached a settlement of $230,000 to pay back wages and overtime for its workers.

Former employees and social media users, meanwhile, felt that Bartmann’s nomination for “outstanding hospitality,” a category focused not on an individual chef or restaurant, but the business backing them, violated the James Beard Award code of ethics, which lists “stealing of wages or tips” as a disqualifier.
