downtown sports bar

[cheffy1234]

comming down for the new years eve vikes game and am looking for a good sports bar downtown to watch the afternoon games. any ideas?

Kieran's Irish Pub has a huge screen that will be playing the game, and better bar food than the other obvious choices downtown. Especially the Ploughman's Platter, some excellent local charcuterie.

For total number of TV's you can't go wrong with The Loon Cafe, Smalley's 87 Club, Hubert's (Target Center location) or Sneaky Pete's. All within 1 block of each other (First Avenue between 5th & 6th) if the scene get boring.
