We've been saying the same thing, sounds like an story out of the Onion. But nope, this is my city.

When we were out on the Pedal Pub last summer, we heard some haters. Specifically, I remember we were on the second or third round (we were buzzed) and talking/laughing loudly and a woman on the sidewalk shouted at us, "YOU'RE TOO LOUD! THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD!!". We were no louder than a group walking from one bar to the next. It was 5:30 PM, the rush hour traffic was louder than we were. And she was clearly louder than we were... irony.

In Minneapolis, Pedal Pubs are used mostly by middle-age suburbanites to party in downtown. They tend to act like a bunch of frat boys. I know that the operators (drivers) try to keep the patrons from being obnoxious, but I'd say it's like herding cats. Bottom line, these bike-bars are not loved by people that live in Minneapolis.

Going back to my first reaction: *facepalm*
