  • "In southwest? If someone knows, Please, please tell me. I always end up at champps or joe Sensers, but I'd love to stay close to home."
  • "Doesn't exist, to my knowledge, primarily due to city ordinances limiting the establishment of bar/tavern/pubs in SW Mpls. Like most people in SW, you'll have to head out of the 'hood for this - try McCoy's or Bunny's in SLP for the closest. Please remember to arrange a designated driver or cab before heading back to SW. It would be much easier and safer to walk/bike somewhere close to home."
  • "Ya. Bunny's or Champps in Richfield are probably closest. I think I noticed some big screens at the new Red Cow, but I have not been in yet and don't know how try would handle audio."
