New Restaurant to Open in Northwest Rochester

If you're looking to dine out, you'll soon have a new place to do it, as another new restaurant is setting up shop, this time in northwest Rochester.

According to a story in Thursday's Post-Bulletin, the Crooked Pint Ale House is set to open on Commerce Drive NW -- the site of the former Green Mill Restaurant, which closed on January 1st.

The story says the new Rochester location "...will be the third Crooked Pint in Minnesota and the first outside of the Twin Cities metro area. Jeremy Brown owns the Rochester Crooked Pint as well as one in Apple Valley. 

'Everything at Crooked Pint is the real deal, from the menu to the furnishings to all of the local craft beers,' Brown said in an announcement. 

Green Mill Restaurants CEO and Crooked Pint franchisor Paul Dzubnar described the Crooked Pint concept as catering to the growing craft beer trend, while serving 'upscale pub fare,' like stuffed burgers, homemade tater tots and stuffed pickles."

The story also says the restaurant will offer a wide variety of beer choices in the bar -- with 30 local and regional craft beers on tap as well as 20 wines available by the glass. The restaurant is scheduled to open on April 21st.
