Cowboys And Aliens Together? Yes, At This New Cosmic Cantina!

Want an interesting new food and drink experience?  Try this new place that just opened earlier this month in the Lyn-Lake area of Minneapolis. It's called, "Fool Me Once" and the owners refer to it as a 'Cosmic Cantina'.  I'm not entirely certain how to explain what this place is so I'll let their own website do that. It says:

An Alien and a Cowboy walk into a bar....  We like to say that everyone is an alien somewhere. That’s why we’re proud to say that all aliens (and humans) are welcome through our doors. Come for the trippy back bar, stay for the cactus juice and smash burgers. Either way, we hope our space feels like home.

The space used to house a Western-themed dive bar called The Country Bar.  And the three co-owners have Nashville ties.  One of which is co-owner Andrew Cook. He is the drummer for Country Duo Dan + Shay.
