ParT Barn to Replace Machine Shed in Lake Elmo
Lake Elmo is getting a fresh new entertainment and dining destination as the former Machine Shed Restaurant transforms into the ParT Barn, a one-of-a-kind indoor golf simulator venue combined with a restaurant and event space.
From Comfort Food to Golf & Gatherings
The Machine Shed, a long-time staple in Lake Elmo, closed its doors earlier this year. But instead of leaving the space empty, the property owner, Heart of America Group, decided to reinvent the location. The new concept keeps dining at the center, but adds interactive entertainment for the Minnesota lifestyle.
What to Expect at ParT Barn
ParT Barn is designed to be more than just a restaurant. Guests will enjoy:
-
Indoor golf simulator bays perfect for casual outings or serious practice.
-
Full-service dining and bar with chef-driven food, craft cocktails, and local beers.
-
Event space that can flex for corporate outings, family gatherings, or parties.
Membership options will also be available, though details are still under wraps.
Heart of America’s Minnesota Presence
Based in Moline, Illinois, Heart of America Group owns and operates restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues across the Midwest. While they continue to operate other Machine Shed restaurants in Wisconsin and Iowa, this new concept marks a fresh approach for their only Minnesota location inside the Lake Elmo Holiday Inn.
A New Era for Lake Elmo Dining & Entertainment
For east metro residents, ParT Barn adds a new layer of nightlife and recreation — combining food, drinks, and indoor golf in one convenient spot. With Minnesota’s long winters, this could quickly become a favorite hangout for locals and visitors alike.
