Ring in the New Year Cork's Style!

Here at Cork's, it's been a crazy holiday season! We've survived blizzards (and all the related snow emergency parking drama that followed), two holiday brunches, and more! Through it all, our staff has persevered! We could not be more thankful for all of their contributions. Cork's just wouldn't be Cork's without 'em!

As such, we are super excited for everything the New Year brings and are looking forward to celebrating with you, our favorite friends and guests. We've got a whole host of specials lined up just for the occasion.

For New Years Eve Dinner, we are offering our superb Prime Rib Dinner for just $26. Add a cold water lobster tail to make it a "Surf & Turf" for just $12 more. We'll also have a Seafood Cioppino on special. That's shrimp, mussels, calamari, bat scallops, and cold water lobster in a zesty saffron white wine and tomato broth with fresh basil.

After you've gotten your fill of delicious dinner, party it up in the lounge! We're offering Late Night Bar Specials from 9pm to close!

$2 Scottish Eggs

$2 Corned Beef Sliders

$8 ChamBulls (A delicious blend of champagne and Red Bull)       

Ring in the New Year at your favorite neighborhood pub! We can't wait to see you all in 2011!

Yuletide Feasting

You're cordially invited to join us for our delightful Christmas Day Brunch. A culinary feast of epic proportions, our brunch will incorporate holiday and traditional favorites spanning breakfast, lunch and dinner! To top it off, we've even added a dessert buffet that includes white and dark chocolate fountains.

Christmas Day Brunch Menu

The Brunch runs from 10am to 2pm. Prices are $28.95 for adults, $14.95 for children 4 to 12, and Free for children 3 and under.

REVISED EDITION

As we wrap up our Go Wild Facebook Contest (it's been a great week!), we are getting ready to kick-off our Twitter "Biggest Wild Fan" portion of the jersey giveaways.

2. Contest will coincide with the Wild home game against the Flames on December 20th.

3. On December 20th, Cork's twitter account will prompt tweepers to tweet (in 140 characters or less) why they are the biggest Minnesota Wild fan, including the hash-tag for the contest, #Wild4Corks.

4. Contest closes at 11:59pm the same day (12/20/2010). 

5. Only one tweet (the first) per Twitter username will be counted.

6. Judging is at the sole discretion of Cork's management and will be decided based on personal whim and preference. 

7. The winner will be notified/tweeted on Twitter on December 21 and can come claim his/her prize from Cork's when it comes in! (Sorry...no mailing jerseys...You must be able to come retrieve your prize). Winner will be notified by email/DM as soon as their jersey arrives.

Go Wild Contest!

Here at Cork's, we sure love our social media fans. We also love contests...Contests that involve really cool prizes. That's why we're pretty excited about our latest Go Wild Contest, because it's: 

a. For our social media fans! (Facebook & Twitter)

b. A contest! (Well, actually two contests in one)...

c. The prizes are sweet Minnesota Wild Jerseys! (Just in time for Christmas wearing or giving!)

Facebook Trivia Contest - The Skinny

1. Follow us on Facebook.

2. A Minnesota Wild trivia question will be posted on Wild game days beginning on December 9th (for their away game against the Coyotes).

4. One point is awarded for each correct answer. 

5. One answer per person per question is allowed.

6. The last Wild trivia question will be posted on December 20th for their game against the Flames. 

7. Fans have additional chances to earn points by answering Cork's trivia questions as well. Cork's trivia questions will be posted randomly. Again, fans have until 11:59pm CST on the day the question is posted to comment with their answer. 

8. In the event of a tie leading up to the final question, the final question will be handled in a sudden death round fashion, in which the first person (who was part of the leading tie) to post the correct answer wins.

Winter Skate is Back!

Well, winter is definitely here, so we might as well make the most of it! As seasoned Minnesotans, we know we're in for a long haul once the snow and cold settle in, so it's a good thing there's a plethora of fun, wintry things to occupy our time until the thaw.

Last night marked the grand opening celebration of Wells Fargo's Winter Skate in downtown St. Paul. The free outdoor rink is up and ready for some serious skating!

Open skate is offered daily at 11am, and the rink closes at 5pm Monday through Thursday, 10pm on Friday and Saturday and 9pm on Sunday. Skates are available for rent, or you can bring your own! (Rental fee is waived if you show your Wells Fargo check card or credit card). For more information on the rink and a schedule of events, click here.

So what are you waiting for? Stop on in for some Scottish Eggs and something to get you warm and toasty and head out into the Winter Wonderland!
