Alarys (downtown St. Paul, on 7th Street - waitress' wear very little clothing, cheap domestic beer specials)
Joseph's Grill (south of the river, across the Wabasha bridge - shuttle available)
Bulldog (Just opened across from Mear's Park. Incredible selection of beer on tap. I always walk to the Xcel from here before Wild games)
Eagle Street Bar (Adjacent to the Xcel. Will be hard to get a drink close to game)
Alary's will have specials and a shuttle to the game. The place fills up with Gopher fans but their season will be over Thursday night.
