A longtime bar in the Seven Corners neighborhood of Minneapolis appears to be closed by order of city building inspectors. 

Bullwinkle's Saloon & Funbar, which according to its website dates back to 1901, has been plagued by troubles in recent years — including facing loss of liquor license following a deadly shooting in 2018, and another shooting in September that left one person dead and three injured. 

On Friday, former Twin Cities radio disc jockey Jason Nagel posted a picture on Twitter appearing to show a condemnation notice on Bullwinkle's front door, stating it's due to a "lack of utility, electricity."

A followup tweet shows what seems to be a lively party above the bar, though the announcement posted on the door indicates the building was to be vacated "immediately."

Bring Me The News has reached out to Bullwinkle's for comment.
