When the Zombie Apocalypse Begins, We All Meet Up Here
When the Zombie Apocalypse Begins, We All Meet Up Here

Nerdery
Tom Wallace, Star Tribune?
“Here” is Donny Dirk’s Zombie Den in Minneapolis, and let me tell you why — it has a chainsaw encased in a glass box which reads “In case of zombie attack, break glass” and thus will still likely be serving drinks after the undead walk the earth. Zombie protection and booze? There’s nothing else I’ll be needing, thanks. And the bartenders dressed in their Shaun of the Dead finest is just icing on the cake. Thanks to Silent Scream for the tip.

About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
