Happy New Year!

Often, we don't give proper thanks when it's due. We wait until after the fact, and then think, "Oh man! Did I say, 'Thank you.'?"

As 2011 draws to a close and we look forward to another great year at Cork's, we want to reflect on all of the fun we've had, because we're so thankful to be surrounded by the best friends, guests, and employees a pub could ask for. 

Therefore, we decided to take a look back at where we've been this year, so we can appreciate what a fun ride it's been! 

January
We partnered with our friends the Minnesota Swarm, cooked up omelet breakfasts for local condo and apartment residents, and enjoyed hanging with team members and Swarm Performance team dancers throughout the month!

February
We threw an awesome Super Bowl XLV party complete with super bowls of chili and continued our BFF status with the Minnesota Swarm. We even got to provide the seat stuffer for a Swarm home game. 

March
Love was in the air as we hung out with our two loves for the month: ST. PADDY'S DAY (just about the best holiday under the sun) and the Minnesota Swarm! From a rockin' St. Paddy's Day, complete with parade participation, our full-on leprechaun taking to the streets, Jell-O shots, and a party with live music to helping out the Randy Shaver Cancer and Community Fund at the Hive Cares event, March was one fabulous month!

April
In April, we Lit It Up Blue for Autism Speaks, donated proceeds from the sales of our Creme Brulee dessert to the Randy Shaver Cancer and Community Fund, hosted a fabulous Easter Brunch, and partnered with our friends at Twin Cities Originals to provide the food for the 7th Annual Memorial Blood Centers' What's Your Type? Benefit Event.

May
In May, not only did we celebrate the arrival of warmer weather, but we also celebrated mothers at our Mothers' Day Brunch and the launch of a brand-new menu!

June
June welcomed summer as well as a Guinness & Crispin passport program that rewarded folks who inbibed on those delectable beverages.

July
In July, we started our new brunch service and had a great time at the Taste of the Twin Cities Originals event at the new TCF Bank Stadium. 

August
August was another great month! We had a blast with our neighbors for National Night Out, celebrated the 2011 Visa Championships (and the Taste of the Visa Championships), and totally won the Irish Fair of Minnesota's Battle of the Pubs Cook-Off

September
In September, we got to celebrate the halfway point to our favorite holiday (please see March above) with a rockin' party, and we kicked off our Minnesota Wild and NFL specials. (Then, we proceeded to bleed purple, and bleed, and bleed, and bleed).

October
October was pretty quiet. We settled into autumn and had several great Wine & Music Lover Thursdays

November
In November, we put our Wine & Music Lover Thursdays on hold to watch the Thursday night NFL games. We also had a super Thanksgiving Day Champagne Brunch

December
December brings us current. We had a wonderful Teddy Holidays holiday weekend kick-off with $3 Crispin drinks, a great Christmas Day Brunch today, and some time to reflect and be thankful for such a great year. 

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, because we're so thankful for all of you.
