931 Nicollet Mall

"Stop in for corned beef and cabbage at the Local. The downtown location is known for its ornate mahogany woodwork and antique-cut glass lighting, while over in St. Louis Park, the Local’s suburban sister restaurant, with its curved bar and frosted glass panes, maintains that old-world Irish feel. Either is a great place to watch rugby matches on a Saturday morning — the Local offers $5 drinks and a limited breakfast menu." - Eater Staff, Stacy Brooks

"Long a popular spot for stopping by after work, the Local has plenty of bar space with $4.50 pints and $6 appetizers from 2 to 6 pm." - Eater Staff

"Ireland is out too, but that’s certainly not keeping Irish pubs from reveling in the competition of the tournament. Most days the bar opens early for games, but check ahead to make sure. Once inside, consider a $4.50 pint of Guinness, Heineken, or Newcastle." - Cinnamon Janzer
