Neighborhood bar with home-made veggie burgers and tempeh scramble
Restaurant, Bar
Tracy's Saloon offers patrons a tempeh has on the weekends for brunch, grilled pita with spicy hummus, a home-made vegan burger, red curry and lemon rice with mock duck, and a tempeh reuben.
The crowd is always a great mix of South Minneapolis neighborhood folks with just a sprinkling of university kids. Darts can be thrown. Sports may be watched, video games can be played. Beer is available too.

They've updated the menu since the new owners took over. All the burgers can be made with a vegetarian patty. They have a great hummus appetizer that's homemade with celery and cucumbers as well. ALSO try the tempeh sandwich, it's great. For going out with non-veg friends you can definitely get something for everyone here. PLUS great specials on drinks!!

Tracy's is a simple neighborhood bar and it happens to have a few vegan options. I had their home-made veggie burger (all-American style, though there are a few other varieties) which was not bad. I liked the taste of the patty (though it was a bit soft and crumbly), but I was less impressed with the industrial-grade lettuce, tomato and white-flour bun they used.
The fries were good.
Tracy's also has a tempeh reuben, a mock duck curry and a tempeh hash (on the weekends).
I'm not sure why they don't serve any tofu dishes (how about a fried tofu burrito, or a tofu scramble?); it's especially strange because they do have tempeh. A seitan/mock duck sandwich or burger would be great as well.
Space around the bar is cramped and the beer selection isn't all that great, but I like that Tracy's is trying to hold its own against Pizza Luce and Triple Rock, which are the two nearest ultra vegan-friendly bar/restaurants. If Tracy's added a few more thoughtful and varied vegan options I'd be back often.
