My good mate Lambchops and me will be there for our annual Saints roadtrip. I'll be in Saturday afternoon and staying downtown.

Hit a brother up if you're interested in watching some college fuhbawl on Saturday night - may be available for NFL games on Sunday and pregaming on Monday.

Lofty scrip clubs in Minneapolis all downtown and walking distance of everything. Zen Box ramen is my favorite place for eats in the city.

Great city. Enjoy the weekend.

- The Gophers are playing at Oregon State this weekend, but you this may be a good opportunity to walk through campus and Dinkytown. Cool neighborhood that is right across the river from downtown. Surly is less than a mile from TCF and one of the coolest brewery spaces you will come across. Massive with plenty of outdoor options.

- Northeast is a quirky place with a number of breweries to visit (i.e. Indeed, Dangerous Man, Bauhaus, Pryes, Boom Island, Able Seedhouse)

- North Loop / Warehouse District is a great neighborhood that is a short walk from downtown. Target Field is close-by and lined by a few breweries (Modist, Fulton, Clockwerks, and Inbound). If you're looking for food in the area, I would recommend Bar La Grassa, Black Sheep, Freehouse, Red Cow, and Spoon & Stable.

- Downtown is OK. There are bars worth going to and others to avoid (trashy crowds). Cowboy Jack's is littered with young professionals and has a cool rooftop, Brit's has sidewalk seating and a rooftop with huge bocce courts, Pourhouse is expansive, Kieran's has live music

- Uptown has the largest-contingent of young professionals and recent-graduates. Plenty of bar choices near Lake and Hennepin + Calhoun and Lake of the Isles is close-by for recreation purposes. Happy to provide recommendations.

My brother and I are going. (thanks for the tips Hoopsgalore) Haven't seen a whole lot of action on this thread so I'm worried there may not be a lot of WhoDats there. The flight home Tuesday is oversold so hopefully that isn't true.
I was thinking about heading to Surly Brewery on Sunday to get away from the Vikings fans who I think are just as bad as Bears' fans. (I was there for the 2000 playoff loss and gf and I were harassed endlessly - even after a 34 - 16 trouncing). Other than that I like the N. Loop area.

Group of 13 of us here for a bachelor party. Airbnb in dt and maybe heading to Monday night football stage early for tailgating. It would be great if the whole front section behind the countdown crew was full of who dats.

Thanks mate I come here a ton for work so I've seen most of the recommendations and enjoyed the hell out if the grain museum.

My favorite ramen place is here - zen box. Going to eat there for lunch and then not eat again until after game so as to be properly hammered.

Lots of Saints fans at the Renaissance and saw Coach Mora and Fletcher Mackel last night at Hells Kitchen.

I'd recommend The Monte Carlo for dinner. It's downtown. If you want steak there's Manny's and Murray's both downtown. If you want to visit Little Somalia head to the West Bank and Cedar.

Every uber driver here is named Mohamed - I've gotten more than enough of that "culture"
