The Minneapolis bar at the corner of East Hennepin Avenue and Lourdes Place has been called Nye’s since1950, when Albin Nye took over Prince Café owned by Hefron’s, a “working man’s bar” occupying the 1880’s building.

After 135 years, the building began to need too many repairs, and the decision was made to close the bar.  That is until 2017 when the new developers of the building were urged to open a new bar in the old space, and the group decided to open the “New Nye’s Bar” and operate a bar that captured the feeling of the famed Nye’s – recognizing the need to accommodate customers between 22 to 80 years.

Careful consideration was dedicated to the design of the totally renovated space to include a nostalgic built – in piano bar design reminiscent of the Polonaise Room. The original Nye’s Bar sign hangs on the original exposed brick on one wall, murals accompany another wall, and the center piece of the space is the bar itself.  GlassArt Design helped create an Antique Mirror backing to the main bar area that honors the history of the 135 year old space, while providing a stunning, eye catching center piece for a new generation of patrons.
