last call - View this location on map although st. paul, adhering to genteel tradition, generally closes up by midnight or 1 a.m., the doors of the historic turf club (651-647-0486) aren't locked until 2 a.m. opened as a lounge in the 1940's, the turf is one of the premier local clubs for alternative music. music is on the main floor; those who would rather talk can retire to the clown lounge on the lower level. the crowd is a mix of scenesters, fans of the bands and regulars from every demographic.
