Nicollet Diner is moving down the street, will include cabaret The 24-hour diner will open in the new space this summer. Author: Minneapolis' 24-hour diner is moving a few blocks away and will be adding a cabaret. The Nicollet Diner will be taking over the longtime home of Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar, which closed in 2016 after 36 years, at 1333 Nicollet Ave., a few blocks from the 24-hour restaurant's current spot. Nicollet Diner owner Sam Turner told the Star Tribune the building is the "opportunity of a lifetime," adding "everything has aligned in a way that makes perfect sense." The diner will still be open 24 hours and feature its classics, such as all-day breakfast, burgers, malts and cocktails.
