We're Taking St. Paul by SWARM!


Cork's has partnered with the Minnesota Swarm lacrosse team! We're super stoked to hang out with such fun people and really looking forward to all the exciting adventures this collaboration promises to bring.

For starters...breakfast! We're continuing our omelet breakfasts at area apartment and condo complexes before big Swarm home games! From 7am to 9am on the scheduled dates, Cork's and members of the Swarm will meet and greet residents, all while serving up those famous made to order omelets.

We'll be visiting River Crossing this Friday, January 21, just before the Swarm battle the Rush on Saturday, January 22. Then, we're headed to Galtier Towers on Friday, January 28, the day before the Swarm go head to head against the Stealth!

Remember, if you don't live in the complexes we're visiting, you can still catch the Swarm at Xcel for all of their home games. Plus, look for updates in the very near future for information on upcoming events and promotions between Cork's and your Minnesota Swarm.

Music & Wine Lover Thursdays

Here at Cork's we consider ourselves quite the cultured crowd. However, being your favorite neighborhood pub and all, we can't break out the ascots everyday. We reserve them for special occasions, like weddings, funerals, St. Patty's Day, oh, and of course, Thursdays!

If you're an avid follower of our blog, or just a fan of Cork's, you're probably familiar with our daily specials. We've bragged about them, blogged about them, and we've even got 'em on our Facebook page.

Today we wanted to highlight our Thursday special, Wine & Music Lover Thursdays! Every Thursday, Cork's hosts a local music talent and offers 50% off any of our great bottles of wine! Best of all, there's no cover charge and we validate parking with any purchase. (Where else downtown can say that?!) Music starts at 7pm, so you have plenty of time to grab dinner first.

Tonight, we are hosting Lehto & Wright, a Minneapolis-based folk-rock trio. They go on at 7, so come on down, grab a seat, and score a bottle of wine (half off!)!


Other regulars include: The SERF's, an Irish pub-rock group, Alicia Corbett, a folk-rock singer, Irish musician, Todd Menton, and of course, The Teddy Holidays, a progressive rock band.


The Teddy Holidays, who are a pub favorite, play every fourth Thursday. On the Thursdays they play, we offer all Crispin Hard Ciders and Crispin Hard Cider drinks for just $3.


So, make it a standing date! Don that ascot, enjoy Wine & Music Lover Thursdays, and get yourself good and cultured! Slainte!

MN Swarm Breakfast!

If you're a resident of the Kellogg Square Apartments, you'll want to pay very close attention because you're in for a treat!

This Friday, January 7th, Cork's has enlisted the help of the Minnesota Swarm Lacrosse team to put on a free breakfast for Kellogg Square residents! Kicking off their home opener weekend, the Swarm is looking forward to meeting, greeting, and EATING with you! We'll be setting up in the lobby and serving our famous made-to-order omelets for all residents that happen by between 7 and 9am.


Once you've gotten your fill of delicious breakfast, continue your fabulous Swarm weekend by coming out to cheer on your team as they battle the Rochester Knighthawks on Saturday at 7:35. Tickets are still available, so make sure you secure yours today!

Oh yeah, and gooooooooooooooo SWARM!
