This downtown Minneapolis spot takes a chapter from the playbooks of its predecessors, the former Rosa Mexicano and Prime 6, with a pull-out-all-the-stops space, a grand sports bar theme in this case. The sprawling, 600-person-capacity venue accommodates large groups with an expansive bar, high-tops, communal tables and bench seats. Part of a national chain co-owned by local Tom Ryan, the Minneapolis location also has a Topgolf Swing Suite where you can play interactive simulator golf and non-golf games. Baseball, soccer, football, hockey or, better yet, zombie dodgeball (yes, you read that correctly), anyone?
Hours: Mon.-Thu. 4-11 p.m., Fri.-Sun. 11 a.m. to midnight.
