Let's Play Ball - Enjoy Cork's Twins Baseball Special

With the weather we've been having, it sure doesn't feel like Twins Baseball season. However, the calendar does say late April, so we'll just stick to that and hope for the best. Having to postpone several games this season already due to the unseasonable spring weather, watching the game in-person may not be the best option these days.

If you don't feel like bundling up and braving the elements at Target Field, join us here at Cork's. We've got a Twins Special that's sure to warm you right up.

For every televised Twins game this season enjoy our Twins Pack:

3 Topping Pizza + 1 Pitcher of Beer = Just $20

For example, today take advantage of the Twins double header at Target Field in 30 degree cold (as they're still clearing mountains of snow out of the stadium) OR at Cork's in the balmy 70 degree warmth (with pizza and beer for about the price of parking at the stadium). 

Choose wisely, friends. 

Oh, and GO TWINS!

It's mid-April and it's snowing! What better way to pass the time then to talk about all the upcoming happenings around here.

5% to the Lupus Foundation of MN on Sundays through June

Here at Cork's, we love to give back whenever we can. That's why we're so excited to announce that every Sunday throughout the months of April, May, and June, we'll be donating 5% of sales to the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota.

About the Foundation: 

Founded in 1976, the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota (LFM) celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2011. The mission of the organization is to serve those affected by lupus, raise awareness and fund research in an ongoing effort to improve the lives of others.

Top Ten Things to Do - Spring Edition

Now that it's April and the weather has finally (maybe?!) started to cooperate with the calendar, we thought we'd heat things up with thoughts of spring. Reveling not just in the melting snow and increased daylight, we're also looking forward to all of the great things to do around the cities in the Spring as well!

In no particular order, here are the top ten things to do this season!

10. Roll those windows down and that sunroof back!
9. Take a stroll. With all the lovely parks the cities have to offer, a walk is the perfect respite from the winter blues!
8. Love your neighborhood! Each Sunday Cork's is happy to offer half off to our neighbors, the residents of the condos and apartments around Cork's.
7. Cheer the Wild into the Playoffs! The NHL Playoffs are just around the corner, so hit up a Wild game (or catch all the action at Cork's) as you watch them battle for a top spot.
6. Check out one of our new rooms! Scheduled for completion in July of this year, we're so excited to showcase our "brand new" hotel.
5. Try out one of our spring friendly dishes, like the Chicken BLT Salad, Chicken Caprese Sandwich, Grilled Salmon, and Asiago Halibut.
4. Play ball! If you don't feel like getting off the bench, catch a Twins or a Saints game from the comfort of your seat, both played in the beautiful great outdoors.
3. Have a pint on the patio! Our sidewalk tables are a great way to take in the sunshine and unwind among all of the sights and sounds of Lowertown.
2. Bloody's & Brunch! There's just something so quintessential about enjoying Brunch and a well-made Bloody Mary on a springtime Sunday.
1. Shovel in shorts and a t-shirt! Hey, this is Minnesota after all, so we're just being realistic!

Here's to a great spring, friends!
