Whether it was that the MinnPost is doing stories that sound like they could have come from the “Around Town” column in a small-town weekly…:

Sources close to the 400 Bar are reporting that a squirrel recently got into the historic West Bank music landmark and did serious damage to the top row of the liquor shelf behind the bar.

…or the details of the actual damage done:

Co-owner/manager Tom Sullivan is telling friends that the club lost several high-end bottles of Scotch in the little rodent’s raid. Sullivan couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday, but a good bottle of Chivas Regal goes for hundreds of dollars (not this much, we hope) and, as this edition of MinnPost went to press, police liked this guy as a suspect.

This is the same 400 Bar I played back in ’86-88?   The place where ordering Michelob got you branded an effete pansy?

Either they’ve moved upmarket, or west-end rock-bar barflies have a lot more money than they used to…
