Frontier Saloon Closes After 60 Years | Minneapolis News
Description
After 60 years of twang, laughter, and tradition, the Frontier Saloon — Minnesota’s beloved country music hub at the State Fair — is closing its doors for good. A family legacy since 1963, this iconic Old West-style bar, once owned by Dick Werner and now managed by his son John Jameson for five decades, will say goodbye with a final weekend of live music, including legendary acts like Ali Gray. Fans are bittersweetly bidding farewell, hoping to preserve its spirit through an upcoming auction of memorabilia — from signs to mannequins — before a new tenant moves in in 2027. This isn’t just a bar shutting down — it’s the end of an era for generations who’ve made the saloon their soundtrack.
