Guys’ Weekend in Minneapolis/StPaul— What Should We Hit?
Three guys in town for a quick weekend — my brother, my college roommate, and me. We get into Minneapolis Friday afternoon, Sept. 11, are catching the Twins game Saturday, and head out Sunday morning.
None of us have spent much time in the Twin Cities, so looking for the “if you only have 36 hours, do these things” recommendations.
We’re pretty open and would rather experience Minneapolis than just hit generic tourist spots. Interested in:
● A great bike ride — we’d rent bikes. Best route for 2–3 hours that incorporates trails, lakes, riverfront, neighborhoods, etc.?
● Parks/trails or outdoor spots that are legitimately worth fitting in
● Breweries or unique local bars
● Best restaurants — casual/local favorites especially, but open to one really good dinner
● Live music, clubs, dive bars, or nightlife for three guys in their 40s/50s who still like to have a good time
● Anything uniquely Minneapolis/St. Paul that we shouldn’t miss
We’ll probably stay fairly close to Minneapolis, but we’ll have transportation and are open to St. Paul if there’s something worth making the trip for.
If you were planning the weekend, what would you do Friday afternoon/night and Saturday before/after the Twins game?
Bonus points for a bike route that connects a few good stops along the way. Thanks!
