TCSiouxFan2006 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Wondering if there's a hotel/restaurant/bar (not necessarily downtown) that offers shuttle service to the game...? (NOT Bennett's!) Otherwise, I hear of a lot of Sioux fans going to Wild Times--Sounds like fun, but at what point is it so crowded it's not worth going in? I've gone there *after* Wild games without many issues, but just checking if anyone knows more than me. If the game starts at 7, you'd almost have to get there for Happy Hour. haha. Ok, input appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Wreckincrew Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Alary's bar has 4 shuttles running, and the scenery is great once you get past all the Bears crap. Here is the website - Alary's Be careful the on-site refs don't call you for a illegal hand pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alary's is not my style. Bulldog sounds kind of good, just looked at their website. Not a bad walk, especially if the weather keeps cooperating! I used to work downtown St. Paul a few years ago, and it's amazing how many places have opened up or revamped since then!!! Hockey lovers win!

Ridiculous. Hockey fans spend a LOT of money. Ever heard of "cheap seats" at a hockey game....not really. I'm SO psyched for Friday night, however, I'd rather see the Gophs ultimately lose to the Sioux instead of UMD. Wish I could take the whole day off, but have to rush after work, gather my minions, and get my rear downtown to have food and beers!

Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 McGoverns is always a solid choice, decent amount of room in there. Park along 7th street somewhere by Tom Reid's, walk to the bars on 7th. That is the best bet and most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
