Polish immigrant Al Nye launched his supper club more than 50 years ago, back when Northeast Minneapolis was still called Nordeast and populated by blue-collar folks proud of Old World ties. Not much has changed inside, from the red neon logo to Lou Snyder, the blonde-bouffant-bedecked septuagenarian who’s tickled the ivories to the delight of several generations. From the curvy, gold-spangled booths, red-flocked wallpaper, and sparkling chandeliers to the hearty Polish cooking, it’ll make you think everything after 1955 was just a passing fad.
