Harold’s Chicken, the Chicago-born chain known for its hand-breaded wings and game-day buzz, is zeroing in on Uptown Minneapolis. The company plans a Harold’s Chicken Sports Bar & Rooftop for the northeast corner of Hennepin Avenue and Lagoon Avenue, stepping into the multi-level bar footprint at that busy intersection and adding another national name to Hennepin’s shifting nightlife strip.
According to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, the Chicago-based chain will take over the corner space that most recently housed Daisy’s and Cowboy Slim’s. The outlet reports the Uptown location is planned as a sports bar with rooftop seating.
