Every year a group of us take a trip to a Detroit Tigers away series. This year we are going to Minneapolis to see the Tigers/Twins next weekend. We get in on Thursdays.
So any other recommendations beyond what is in this thread? On Thursday we will probably have a decent dinner - maybe steak. We go to the games on Friday and Saturday.
What about bars? We are staying downtown Minneapolis. What's a good place to go after the games?
Any food that is must have or traditional Minneapolis? I saw on the Travel Channel or something about the bars that have the Juicy Lucy burgers. Worth going to those?
We also usually like to do a brewery or wine or liquor tour during a day. Anything like that there?
Thanks for the help.
So, where did you go, and what did you think of our fine city?
I thought it was great. We had a great time.
We got in on Thursday and met up with some people at The Local Pub. Tried the local whiskey (I forget the name - 2 Fingers or something?). Then we had dinner at Manny's. That was excellent. Because we were staying at the W, we just went to the W bar after dinner.
On Friday, we walked around for a while to see the city, then ended up at Brit's Pub on the patio watching people play bocce. It was great weather so we had a really good time doing that. We went to dinner at Bar La Grassa that evening for dinner. It was also very good - especially the grilled prawns appetizer. Friday night we went to the game and then ... I don't remember.
Saturday - we went to the Fulton Brewery before the game and got a small tour there. After the game, we went to Nye's Polonaise and had some pierogi.
Overall - it was a great trip. Minneapolis is a terrific city. The Stadium is very, very nice. Everyone was extremely friendly. It was a great trip.
Except for the strip clubs. Those were kind of a letdown.
