What to Eat & Drink at Target Field
Want to plan your snacks before you arrive? Target Field kindly lists all available concessions on its website. Perennial favorites include Kramarczuk's Sausages (available in multiple sections), Soul Bowl (section 114), and Hot Indian (section 120). Every season also ushers in a new slate of vendors and items to choose from (sweet and sour pork from Vinai, anyone?).
If you’re a purist, don't worry. There are plenty of vendors slinging ballpark dogs, Cracker Jacks, and sprinkle-topped soft serve in mini baseball helmets. As for drinks, look out for everything from massive Bloody Marys to tall cans of crushable Pils from St. Paul's own Summit Brewing Company.
Where to Grab Dinner or a Drink
Visiting on a summer Saturday? Our top suggestion would be to hit the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market and fill up on street tacos and Bánh Xèo. Then, kick back at Modist or Fulton Brewing and enjoy a few pre-game pints.
In the mood for something a little more sit-down? Folks with kids should check out Red Rabbit, Red Cow, or NOLO’s Kitchen, while those going for more of a date-night vibe might want to cuddle up at the 112 Eatery Bar or twirl some fresh pasta at Dario.
Looking for a sports bar? The Loon, Tom’s Watch Bar, and Runyon’s (yes, get the wings) are all a safe bet for a game-day hang.
