Loring Park's 'Bearcat Bar' Closes After Recent Rebranding

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Loring Park establishment is calling it quits just two months after rebranding themselves.

Bearcat Bar suddenly closed Friday in what owner Kim Bartmann called a "tough decision."

Bartmann says the bar, which had almost two dozen employees, was "losing money" and was in a "tough location."

Bearcat was originally called The Third Bird during its first two-and-a-half years of operation.
