We have brought together an exceptional roster of bars and restaurants around the Twin Cities as our official “Loons Watch Spots.” Take a look at our complete list of locations to do some serious birdwatching and cheer on MNUFC.
LessThere’s the Loons, and there’s The Loop. But, when their powers combine, it creates a phrase to bring fans together: Loons at The Loop! As an official watch spot for Minnesota United, The Loop’s West End location is ready to take in any Loons fan for a matchday that offers a modern atmosphere, a fully-stocked bar, and gourmet dishes to satisfy each person’s quest for a victorious culinary experience!
For the fan that craves those local favorites, Ray J’s in Northeast Minneapolis definitely fits the bill. The generously sized wings are always a favorite and their Juicy Lucy rivals some of the best burgers the area has to offer. And now, Loons fans can sample all those comforts of home that Ray J’s has to offer, while watching the Loons kick it on the pitch.
A Twin-Cities landmark that claims the suburbs as home, now can claim the same for Loons matches and fans that want to watch. Stop in early to get a pre-match warm up in at their bowling alley, or just see the match and grab a pitcher for a post-match cool down. Win, lose, or draw, Park Tavern has plenty of ways for all Loons fans to catch a match or celebrate a victory, accordingly.
Since 1949, Alary’s has been a hot spot for your favorite things in the world: food, drinks, and a good game. Located in bustling downtown St. Paul, Alary’s was founded by former Chicago Bears player Al Baisi (but we won’t hold that against them). Here you can kick back, raise a glass, and even park free after four. Over 20 TVs offer you a view of every athletic attraction, but we know your eyes will be on Minnesota United.
There’s nothing quite like watching a football game in a classic pub in the heart of the UK… unless there is. Brit’s Pub has been Minneapolis’s go-to venue for televised sports and English eating for over 30 years. Here you can watch not only European soccer but your very own Loons amid everything from fish and chips to bangers and mash (whatever that is).
This VFW location is based in a mid-century ballroom turned music venue and nightclub. Featuring three bars, a restaurant, and iconic karaoke, Uptown VFW builds connections between vets and the Minneapolis community. Enjoy some street tacos or chips and salsa and kick back to watch your Loons.
Surly Brewing Co. has been brewing and selling world-class IPAs for 20 years, and now they’re host to world-class soccer, too. A Minneapolis staple, Surly is your spot for the Big Three: good drinks, good people, and good Minnesota United games.
Rival House is a modern sports pub within Grand Casino Hinckley that offers live music, bowling, games, and most importantly, a spot to watch Minnesota United thrive on the pitch. Try the Pesto Tomato Pizza or grab a drink before settling in to cheer on the Black and Blue.
This full-service bar within Grand Casino Mille Lacs comes with an atmospheric lineup of fun, drinks, and sports. Open until 2 a.m. all week, it offers a high-energy space to cheer on your Loons.
If you know Wes Burdine, then you likely know the Black Hart’s stance on the beautiful game. If you don’t know Wes Burdine, which seems unlikely, just know that his Black Hart of Saint Paul continues to uphold the long legacy of this Midway neighborhood location’s status as a soccer haven to the LBGTQ+ community.
For those into footy ball in old St. Paul, the Iron Ranger on Grand Avenue has a flair for making finely-crafted cocktails and pitch-perfect views of the Loons in action.
Schuller’s may be located on “Country Club Drive,” but the vibe is very much the total opposite of that. This hidden gem has been making everyone feel welcome since 1929, and their incredible food makes every Loons’ victory taste that much sweeter…and savory, too.
This new Uptown bar is the perfect intersection of sports, pop culture, and literal buckets of fun. Beckett’s is ready to meet all your burger and beer needs with their iconic branded drink buckets. Great alliteration opportunities for your Boys in Black and Blue, right?
Fans looking to watch the Loons in Inver Grove, look no further than B52 Burgers and Brew. This place is literally named after a highway; if that’s not a sign that you’re supposed to watch road matches there, I don’t know what is. Get yourself a specialty burger with a nice cold drink on the side, and rep the Black and Blue with your fellow Loons at this family-friendly restaurant.
