The Red Stag opened on November 19th, 2007 as the first LEED-CI registered restaurant project in Minnesota. Owner Kim Bartmann had been looking for a location in NE Minneapolis. She found a warehouse, formerly a mechanical contractor, and started the process. Because the ceiling was heavy timber Douglas fir, and because Kim was feeling a little nostalgic for northern Wisconsin, she decided to create a contemporized version of a supper club. The Red Stag Supperclub strives to be a good local & world citizen by serving local & organic foods as much as possible, conserving resources & composting waste, and by always being on the lookout as to how to better its business practices.
