    Hey all,

    Headed to the Twins game tonight and wondering if anyone can help me figure out the best place to have a pregame/postgame beer.

    I know, I know Fulton is just two blocks away, but I'm not really in the mood.(Btw, haven't been since the taproom opened...is it super packed on all pregame nights?)

    I'll be coming in on the light rail, and I'm trying to find the bar with a balance of least walking distance (my dad is going to be with me) with best beer selection.

    I know of Mackenzie, love their beer selection, haven't had very good luck with service.
    I've heard Devil's Advocate downtown has a decent selection, though I haven't been yet, and it's a bit of a hike.

    Anything I'm missing?

    Of the main Twins (Kieran's, Hubert's, Smalley's, etc.) bars, which has the best taps?

    Thanks for the advice, looking forward to hearing something I'm likely overlooking.

    Happy Friday

    One option I've done is Grumpy's down town. It's only about 3-4 blocks from the light rail Metrodome stop. You can then get back on the light rail to target field.

    Without looking at that other thread, I'll offer up Pizza Luce. All (24?) taps are $3.50 from 3-6pm, and Summit taps are $3.50 all day, every Twins game day. (Saga, EPA, Pilsener...and another I'm forgetting right now)

    Haute Dish has an amazing, ever changing assortment of deliciousness! More in the mood for a pizza? Black Sheep has a few taps but they are usually all very solid!
