For the fan that craves those local favorites, Ray J’s in Northeast Minneapolis definitely fits the bill.

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.

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.

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.

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.
