Go Green or Go Home!

Man oh man, we're still reveling in how fun last Saturday night was! Go Green at the Hive was nothing short of amazing! Not only did our lucky leprechaun hang out in all his logo glory on the big screen during the game,  but he was also representing while the Junior Swarm Performance Team did their thing! 

 
Pretty cool, right? 

We even got to provide the seat stuffer from the big game, and can't wait to see all those awesome Swarm fans at Cork's! 

While last Saturday was great, we can't dwell on the past forever! We're moving on at full steam for our upcoming events! 

This Sunday (February 27), Cork's will host the NLL All-Star Game Viewing Party. Come cheer on all FOUR Minnesota Swarm players that will be duking it out in an East vs. West All-Star battle royale.

The party runs from 1pm to 4pm, and we'll be running Happy Hour specials for your enjoyment. Make sure you get here early to snag a good seat. 

This is a family-friendly event, so feel free to bring the kids. Our menu includes all of the traditional kid-approved staples!

We'll see you and the fam on Sunday!

Go Green at the Hive

The big Minnesota Swarm Go Green at the Hive game is tomorrow night. Cork's is super excited to be part of such a great event!


The Swarm will be taking on the Boston Blazers while promoting eco-friendly initiatives and celebrating the wonderful Irish heritage of St. Paul.

For tomorrow's game, the Swarm actually partnered with the Xcel Energy Center to purchase wind energy,  offsetting the electricity that will be used. Utilizing Xcel Energy’s Windsource® program, the Swarm was able to cover 100% of the energy required to host the game! Additionally, the Swarm will be selling special 'Green Tickets' for the game. One dollar from the sale of each ticket will go to support further "green" initiatives of the Minnesota Swarm.

To purchase special 'Green Tickets' for any upcoming Swarm home games, simply click on this link, and enter Special Offer Code: 'GREEN'.


The evening will also play host to other eco-friendly and Irish-themed events, merchandise, and in-game promotions. Expect entertainment from the Junior Swarm Performance Team as they dance their annual half-time show!

Cork's is super stoked, because we get to provide the seat stuffer for this Go Green extravaganza! We still don't want to give up the surprise, because you really don't want to miss this event, but think Cork's Cash (read: gift certificate) plus some great bonuses and giveaways for an entire YEAR! We're tying in the giveaway to our Facebook Fan Page, so seat holders can "like" our page and be privy to updated discounts and special offers just for them.


Saturday night's Go Green game promises to be amazing, so make sure you have your tickets. Don't forget to use the Special Offer Code: 'irish' for a sweet discount!

(That doesn't mean you won't enjoy yourself waiting with a pint of your favorite brew and some Scotch Eggs, though).

February 18th - OMELET STING! Cork's and the Swarm are taking over another local apartment complex. This time, we're invading the lobby of The Cosmopolitan. Residents of The Cosmopolitan, be ready! Enjoy a cooked-to-order omelet, meet Swarm players and members of the Swarm Performance Team, and get excited about their home game against the Boston Blazers the following evening.

Super Bowl XLV, Baby!


We can't really think about the Super Bowl without:
a) Getting really excited, and
b) Humming the dun, dun, dun, dun, da...NFL theme song!


It was only natural given our excitement and horrible humming, Cork's would be throwing a big ol' Super Bowl bash!

Imagine:
- The big game on all eight flat-screen TV's. (Don't worry, the sound will be cranked UP!)
- Happy Hour drink prices the entire game. (That's half off all rail, call, martinis, specialty drinks, AND whiskeys. Plus, $3 house wine, $2 standard bottles and tap beers, and $3 premium bottles and tap beers).
- $2 getting you a SUPER BOWL of chili!
- Awesome prizes throughout the game. You're looking at Swarm tickets, six packs of craft beers, gift certificates, and more!


If this sounds like a dream come true for your Super Bowl XLV, then you're in luck, my friend! The fun starts at 5, but if you want to tailgate at the bar and snag the best seats, that's totally fine too! That way, you can enjoy our Sunday Special, $5 Bloody Mary's ALL day and a Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar from 11am to 4pm.

May the best team win!
