Well here it is almost the end of June (2014 for posterity’s sake0

I do apologize. I lost my ability to drive in 2012 and failed my driving evaluation in 2012, so have not had the flexibility to drive about as I am wont to do. I did visit Jersey’s just recently. For you River Rats, it was formerly called Dukes. Located on Concord Boulevard South in Inver Grove Heights. Actually it’s within spittin’ distance of Cameron’s Liquor Warehouse.

Nice choice of beers. They offer popcorn, Bar keep was pleasant and friendly (I’m a sucker for Hun). Anyway an old establishment, well managed, well run. You’;ll be ok to include this on a suburban pub crawl. Check out their bands on weekends.

Tuesday July 10th, 2012

Stopped in with my wife and son. Very pleasant early evening. Looked for specials on Four Square but found nothing. Tried the Shroom and Swiss Burger, the Sampler Platter and Fried Pickles with Mozarella cheese. Not bad. Waitress was very pleasant.

Nice place to spend a peaceful hour. Plenty of wildlife if you like that sort of thing or you can simply sit and watch the boats on the river.

You’ll find the Mississippi Pub in the River Heights Marina (the sign says it’s at the 830 mile marker) on the beautiful and scenic Mississippi River in Inver Grove Heights.    

The pub is owned and operated by the Harms family who began their unique style of  river view service in 1999.   There’s a great  two-tier deck and patio and an all glass indoor enclosure with a marvelous clear view of the main channel of the Mississippi River.  Sit peacefully and enjoy one of the daily special meals and enjoy great drinks and cool cocktails. Bring your camera to capture the picturesque sight of the river and wildlife. The Harms family prides itself on good food and good service.

Spend some “lazy-time” here soon. You won’t regret it.

Cameron’s Warehouse Liquor is finally back near its old location in a brand new building. George W. Cameron seems very happy with his new premises in spite of the legal battle he has with Dakota County and the Minnesota state authorities.

George runs a great store with great prices on beers, wines and spirits for every taste.
