Small Business Spotlight: The Nicollet Diner
Thursday, December 1, 2022 at 2:42AMArticle by Becky Fillinger
The Nicollet Diner at 1333 Nicollet has transformed its new 14,000 square foot space into a fun, contemporary 24-hour diner, drag venue and craft cocktail lounge. We spoke to Sam Turner, Owner/Founder, to get the scoop on the different experiences available when we visit.
Q: What’s new with The Nicollet Diner?
A: A lot! After eight years in Loring Park, The Nicollet Diner has moved just two blocks north to 1333 Nicollet Mall. The Diner is still open 24/7 365 days a year. I recommend you check out the menu and try our Biscuits and Gravy, Wings, Malts and Burgers. You can order breakfast any time of the day - our Bacon, Eggs, Hashbrowns and Toast is still the best seller.
Q: Roxy's Cabaret recently opened too. What types of events are planned for the cabaret?
A: Roxy’s Cabaret is Minneapolis' newest drag venue, highlighting professional drag and featuring a variety of other live entertainment. We currently host themed drag shows four times a week with Charity Bingo on Tuesdays. We are excited to expand the entertainment in the cabaret to include stand-up comedy, live music, independent film and cult classic watch parties soon.
Q: Will there be holiday-themed drag shows?
A: Absolutely! On December 3rd, 10th and 17th our regular Saturday night show FLAMboyANCE will offer a special holiday edition, All We Want for Christmas is You!
Roxy's Old FashionQ: Which leads us to the third business at the space, On the RoX. Please tell us more.
A: On the RoX, is our take on an elevated craft cocktail lounge with spectacular 2nd and 3rd floor outdoor patios. We feature a brilliant, competition level craft cocktail menu. We wanted to build a space perfect for happy hour, gathering with friends or a nightcap after an amazing date.
Q: How may we follow your news?
A: We are very active on social media! All four of our concepts have independent websites, Facebook and Instagram profiles and we keep our Google listing up to date with events, offers and updates. Please come visit us and check us out at:
