‘Mattie’s On Main’ launches Kickstarter with Unique Minneapolis Riverfront Rewards

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The owners of “Mattie St. Clair’s House of Spirits on Main Street”, or “Mattie’s on Main” for short, have launched a Kickstarter that offers rewards unique to its Minneapolis Riverfront location. The bar/restaurant, scheduled to open in Spring 2014, launched the Kickstarter to give customers a chance to create a charming and unique atmosphere with a high quality patio and entertainment space.

The Kickstarter, video, and full list of rewards are available here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/21713142/matties-on-main-fresh-minneapolis-riverfront-enter

Rewards start at just $10 and include a number of limited-availability items:
● Limited edition “Mattie’s on Main” merchandise
● Dinner and Priority Seating for the riverfront fireworks on July 4th and during Aquatennial.
● Design the monthly dessert or “Adult Milkshake” specials and have your name listed on the menu for that month.
● A luncheon and book reading hosted by Penny Peterson, author of "Minneapolis Madams: The Lost History of Prostitution on the Riverfront."

The Kickstarter video features interviews with the owners about the project and the Kickstarter, along with comments from local entertainers Erin Schwab and Jay Fuchs, and Minneapolis 3rd Ward City Council Member Jacob Frey:

“There’s a very limited amount of venues that actually are suited to what we do, so we’re super excited to be able to come back to our old stomping grounds of Nordeast Minneapolis and put back into the community that has really given so much to us.” - Erin Schwab and Jay Fuchs, Cabaret Performers

“Mattie’s will be a very playful way to capture the history and pay tribute to what St. Anthony Main once was… this is an area that’s coming back into its own. The history, the story, the culture and of course the food, I think will allow this place to really be a huge success.” - Jacob Frey, Minneapolis 3rd Ward City Council Member

About Mattie’s On Main:
“Mattie St. Clair’s House of Spirits on Main Street”, or “Mattie’s on Main” for short, will be  opening in Spring 2014 as a modern-day saloon featuring a year-round patio and a stage for live music and entertainment. Mattie’s on Main will feature a full liquor bar, 16 local beers on tap, and signature craft cocktails. In addition, the bar will feature upscale pub food, unique appetizers, adult shakes, and signature desserts from the Wilde Roast Cafe Pastry Chef Jeff Christianson. The performance stage area of the restaurant will provide space for live music acts, local performers, and themed events.
