The Rathskeller
Page address: https://web.mnsu.edu/voices/rathskeller.html"A lot of fun, reasonable prices, and free sandwiches at noon..."
Located in the now gone 100 block of South Front (across from the Saulpaugh Hotel), the Rathskeller was a large, loud, and, it seems fair to say, somewhat rowdy establishment. Bill Brenner tended bar at the Rats from 1961-1968. In the piece below, he shares a few of his memories--with a little help from Mankato's own, The Gestures.
