Summer Activities Hiatus


Happy Summer, friends! With school being out and summer schedules freeing up time for the lake, Cork's has decided to take a break too. 

Beginning in June, Cork's will be taking a hiatus from Wine & Music Lover Thursdays as well as Trivia Mafia BINGO on Tuesdays and Trivia on Wednesdays. 

While we'll miss our friends during this time, we hope they'll find the renewed time to enjoy the brief summer we midwesterners get!

Enjoy the break, and here's to a great summer! S'lainte!

Irish Eyes Are Smiling

Your Irish eyes will be smiling if you come down to Cork's this Thursday! Not only do we have a killer Irish band lined up for that evening's Wine & Music Lover Thursday, but we are also running our monthly Corned Beef Dinner special since it's the 17th!


You'll have St. Paddy's on the brain if you come early and take advantage of our new monthly dinner special. On the 17th of every month, enjoy our famous Corned Beef. This is the real deal, previously served only on St. Paddy's Day and other special occasions! Corned Beef, Boiled Cabbage, Baby Red Potatoes, Glazed Carrots, and your choice of Soup or Salad.

Wake

Then, you'll already be here and filled with Irish cheer for when our pals, The Tim Malloys, kick off an acoustic set of some "Bloody [Fantastic] Irish Music" at 7pm.

S'lainte and see you Thursday!

Cork's is Swarming!

As you can see from the pic (below), we had a fabulous time watching our Minnesota Swarm take on Colorado in the first round of the NLL Playoffs. We hosted an away-game viewing party with Happy Hour specials, and boy-oh-boy were we ever happy when they won! 


With their victory, they advanced to the second round and will be taking on the Edmonton Rush in the Western Division Championship this Saturday, May 12. This round, they actually get home field advantage, so you can totally go and cheer them on!

Click here for information on purchasing tickets.

We hope everyone can make it out to cheer 'em on! Go Swarm!

Cork's & Hive Cares - April 21, 2012

Cork's on the Big Screen at Last Year's Hive Cares Game
As you know, we're pretty much besties with our local NLL team, the Minnesota Swarm. As only true friends can, we love to support one another, host events together, and sometimes, we even like to complete one another's sentences.

That's why we're really excited to be a part of the Swarm's 3rd Annual Hive Cares game. As the game presenting sponsors, we'll be handing out Cork's Clappers (oh yeah, your favorite little hand-shaped noise makers) to the first 1,000 fans through the doors at Treasure Island Field (aka Xcel).

As the Swarm battle it out against the Philadelphia Wings, they'll don commemorative black jerseys, with proceeds from the event going to the Randy Shaver Cancer Research & Community Fund. It should be a great time (and a great chance to see Cork's featured) for a great cause, working to support the local cancer community.

Then, post-game (celebrating a Swarm victory, we hope), attendees will score a $5 Cork's coupons to swing by and see for themselves how awesome we are.

You have a few options if you want to get involved:

  1. Get a ticket and attend (Game starts at 7pm)
  2. Donate a ticket (to be used by cancer patients, families, and survivors), and/or
  3. Become a corporate partner. 

We'll see everyone on Saturday! Go Swarm!
