SERVING MINOT, ND SINCE 1994
Good Drinks, Good Music. Good People
Established in 1994 as North Dakota's first non-smoking bar, The Blue Rider takes its namesake from the native German and Russian emigrant impressionist art group, Der Blaue Reiter. It's eccentric decor and laid back vibe makes for an attractive hangout for anyone. Fair prices, free wifi, 16 beers on tap, signature nachos, and friendly service is standard. There's an outdoor patio for sipping in the sun, trivia every Wednesday, live music often and a deep enough record collection to satisfy any music taste.
