Description and history
Corner Bar, established in 1897, is located at the corner of 10 Main Street South and the end of Minnesota State Highway 241 in St. Michael, Minnesota. The Braun Family purchased the property in 1993, and has maintained it since. On July 23, 2011, local resident Alexander Tuomisto was involved in a "one punch homicide" at the location, where he claimed self-defense by punching a disgruntled customer in the jaw. The aforementioned customer became unconscious and died at the scene.
In April 2014, the family put the bar up for sale, where the owners claimed that it generated approximately $30 thousand in sales and $800 in pull tabs purchases every month.
