On the industrial southern edge of Fargo, shadowed by the towering silhouette of the Flying J, sits…read moreThe Windbreak. It is a venue that makes no apologies for its scale or its mission. While other spots in town vie for the title of most "artisanal," The Windbreak is content to be the region's high-decibel living room--a cavernous, newly remodeled sanctuary where the floor is built for dancing and the bar is built for efficiency. The Economy of Joy In an era where a movie ticket and a popcorn can trigger a minor financial crisis, The Windbreak offers a staggering return on investment. The cover charge--often a modest $5 or $10--grants entry to a lineup of the region's hardest-working rock and country bands. It is arguably the best entertainment value in the Red River Valley; for the price of a fancy coffee, you secure a front-row seat to a light show and a sound system that would feel at home in a much larger city. The Pour The philosophy at the bar is refreshingly straightforward. This is not the place for meticulously peeled citrus garnishes or artisanal ice spheres. * The Drink: When you order a Jack and Coke here, you receive what can only be described as a "heavy pour." It is a drink served with the generous hand of a bartender who knows you're there for a long set, not a chemistry lesson. It is honest, potent, and perfectly suited to the room's high-energy vibration. The Room and the Ritual The space itself is sprawling. A recent remodel has expanded the dance floor to a massive 500 square feet, providing ample territory for the "two-steppers" and the "head-bangers" alike. Flanking the stage are pockets of activity--blackjack tables where the focus is intense, and pool tables where the click of the break provides a rhythmic counterpoint to the bass guitar. The Human Tapestry Perhaps the most compelling aspect of The Windbreak is the crowd. On any given Saturday night, the demographic is a true cross-section of the North: corporate executives fresh off a flight, local agricultural workers, university students, and retirees who have been coming since the doors first opened. It is a rare "no-judgment zone" where the only requirement for entry is an appreciation for live music and a decent drink. All types are not just present; they are welcome. The Verdict The Windbreak is a testament to the enduring power of the American roadhouse. It is big, loud, and unapologetically fun. It doesn't ask you to be anyone other than who you are, provided you're ready to have a good time. For those seeking the pulse of Fargo's nightlife without the pretense, the search begins and ends on 39th Street.

While the lunch options were very limited (3-5 items), I know I will be coming back. I ordered the Artichoke and Humus sandwich, which comes with a side side salad. And the price was only $4.50! Initially, artichoke and humus doesn't jump out as something I would normally get. The taste and texture of the sandwich was perfect. The bread was toasted and the cheese melted. I added a glass bottle of Coke to my order. To top off the experience, we ate on the patio which is off the alley through the back door. The weather was perfect and their patio is quaint & comfortable as it is surrounded on three sides by 2 story brick buildings - which gives a different vibe than you experience at other traditional patios in Fargo.

I had made my great nephew a quilted book Pillow that needed one 6" seam r-sewn to restore the handle. Unfortunately I do not travel with my sewing machine. I was hoping that someone at the Quilt Shop could possibly help me repair it (a six inch seam is all) or let me use one of the floor demo machines to sew it. When I asked I was told NO it's against store policy. Needless to say I was horribly disappointed. The clerk said at least I knew my Nephew loved the pillow for the handle to come off. As a quilter that has visited quilt stores all across the country this is one I would not recommend.
