And lest anyone think that 'ratskeller' has anything to do with rats in a cellar, these places got their name because they were in or near the local municipal building, or "rathuis", as I understand it.upstate Johnny Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-58196307126070705882012-02-01T08:11:15.279-08:002012-02-01T08:11:15.279-08:00There is actually a rathskeller in the State Capit...There is actually a rathskeller in the State Capitol Bld in Minneapolis - it may be the only Capitol Building with one.

I remembered being impressed because my undergraduate university, didn't have a place on campus where students could drink (other than their dorm rules). The fact that it was a rathskeller didn't register as much. I hope its still there.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-36152742935337133502012-02-01T06:35:52.668-08:002012-02-01T06:35:52.668-08:00Hi there,

Alas, another victim of homogenization. Some folks are trying to re-open it, but I would imagine that to bring it up to current codes would be staggering.<br /><br />Enjoying the blog as always.Kentnoreply@blogger.com
