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.

Idiots. Chainsaws are terrible for killing zombies. Too much noise.

I had to hit the place up when I was on vacation up in Minnesota, only popped in for a quick drink and some crisps but it was a different place to say the least.

Hmm, that IS a rough area, but if there's a chainsaw, it shouldn't be anything unmanagable.

Gotta agree with Frito. If your gonna go up against zombies you have to be quick efficient and quiet. I would opt for a baseball bat until a few guns and ample ammunition is available cuz if you can't be quiet at least make it a gun. I would go to this place in the event of the zombie apocalypse as long as it doesn't have too many windows

I'm not sure that noise would be a concern of mine if zombies were attacking.... I mean the screams of those being eaten and the brain-hungry moans of the undead would be loud enough, I doubt adding chainsaw noise to the fray would a bother.
And if I ever have a reason to go to Minneapolis I will definitely be bringing my drinkin' money here.

Eh.. the major reasons the chainsaw sucks for zombie killing is its loud. (though as said above not the loudest thing around) To heavy to carry if your running. (compared to many other weapons much more useful) It runs on gas. (less you want to stop at a gas station somewhere along the way your stuck carrying lots of extra fuel.. which is just gonna weigh you down more) and it can break down mid slice leaving you royally boned sense all you now have to fight then off is lots of gas things sense you couldn't carry anything else.
On a different note. I'll see you all there when the zombies come.

pssh, if a chainsaws good enough for Bruce Campbell, its good enough for me. Yes, its heavy, needs fuel, noisy and probably pretty ineffective when put to use, but still the appeal of chainsawing zombies is impossible to resist.
Best.Bar.Ever. Although chainsaws+ drunks might prove to be a problematic combination. Oh well that's what insurance is for.

I heard that all the alcohol/food is supplied by The Umbrella Corporation.
Anyone been there already and have that big eye pop up on their shoulder about a week later?
