Club Jager protested, closes early on second night back
MINNEAPOLIS -- The reports of Club Jäger's rebirth are greatly exaggerated.
On Wednesday, the bar owned by Julius DeRoma, a financial backer in 2016 of ex-Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, staged a "soft (re)opening" event, promising the bar would go back to its "original roots," a description which apparently meant "no stupid collectivist games."
The note promoting the reopening signed off, "Vielen Dank!," a German expression of gratitude.
The bar's first night back since a staff walk-out was scheduled to run from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. Asked early that night if the bar would stay open later, or if it had any customers at that time, manager Josh Portwood declined to get into specifics.
Thursday night, at least a handful of people showed up. To protest.
