Could St. Louis Park be the Twin Cities' next nightlife destination? The list of upcoming big-name restaurant/bars continues to grow at the West End lifestyle center -- the suburban development under construction near Hwy. 100 and I-394. A third Crave, plus Kieran Folliard's next pub, Cooper, are scheduled to open in the fall. Now comes Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill. The chain is named after the controversial country star's 2003 song, "I Love This Bar." The St. Louis Park location will be huge, listed at 15,000 square feet. It'll feature an 85-foot bar shaped like a guitar, a mechanical bull, Southern-style food and live music. Look for it to open later this year, or early 2010. Yee-haw!
