Eagan Sports Bars, Hangouts, & Must visits

I am a first time visitor to Minnesota coming out next week for 5 days on business to Eagan. Just wondering if there are cool sports bars around or anything in particular I should check out in my limited time there. Unfortunately, for a sports freak like me, I will miss the chance to catch a Twins or Vikings game.

I think that THE sports bar in town is Majors. Not in Eagan, but some locations will be close:

How about a Twin%26#39;s plaoff game? We can dream.

I prefer ';Time Out'; to Joe Sensor%26#39;s or Majors. Here%26#39;s a link to their website: http://www.timeoutrestaurant.com/

It%26#39;s a little nicer and their menu has more variety. There isn%26#39;t a ton to see or do in Eagan itself but it is convenient to Minneapolis or St. Paul.

Champps isn%26#39;t bad either.

This is an interesting list.

Here are some off the wall suggestions if you%26#39;re willing to drive for something more %26#39;local%26#39;. You could head to the UoM campus and give Stub %26amp; Herbs (see list in the link) a shot. It%26#39;s a campus tradition and a great place. Sally%26#39;s is another place on campus that is fun.

Another neat sport that I haven%26#39;t been to in a while is the 5-8 Club (58th %26amp; Cedar, near the airport right of Hwy 62/The Crosstown), they used to have a bunch of TVs and you can get a local burger legend - a Juicy Lucy. Matt%26#39;s Bar has the best Jucy Lucy with the 5-8 being (IMHO) a close second. The Shamrock Nook also has a lot of TVs and a pretty good menu.

To be warned, I would guess the 5-8 %26amp; Matt%26#39;s will probably have only local games on but are neat places.

Bless me St. Paul for I have sinned......I forgot Tom Reid%26#39;s Hockey City Pub - about 3 blocks west of the X on West 7th. Patrick McGovern%26#39;s is across the street and is another great place but I cannot find it%26#39;s website - though it%26#39;s not so much a sports bar.

I got a chuckle when I saw ';Eagan'; and ';must sees'; together in a post.

I lived there for 9 months before my place was ready in Minneapolis. You may want to head to downtown - Mpls or St. Paul for some nightlife.

You can drive or taxi to Mall of America fairly close to Eagan, and take the light rail line to downtown Minneapolis if you don%26#39;t want to deal with traffic or parking downtown.
