30 Bales in Hopkins (nee Big Ten). Same owners, brought back the subs during the pandemic. I dunno if the subs are still there, because they went kind of hipster on the menu. 

When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

What does "hipster on the menu" mean?

Aioli, avocado toast, stuff that is all the rage the past couple years with that crowd.

Oh…..so it doesn’t mean the food has long beards, man buns, and wear knit caps…. 🤔

@greyeagle 
If there was a restaurant in downtown Hopkins to find those types, that'd be the one.
Wild Boar is the bro-dudes
Mainstreet is the townies
Pink Ivy is sorta more upscale
Pub 819 is the standard mix of everyone (although that's going to be closed for QUITE a while due to a fire)

@the-rube One of those mentioned above was my go to bar back in the day when I lived in Hopkins in the early 90's. In fact, I will be going there today to meet up with a couple of guys in my Fantasy Football league that has been going since 1991. I remember Mainstreets, Archies & Blue Ribbon Bar. There was also a bar down the street ( across from the gas station) in a basement and another one adjacent to the Mainstreet parking lot ( I think it is a carpet store now). Fun times.

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

Pub 819 used to be a biker bar, I remember that when I lived in the area many years ago. Wild Boar used to be Decoy's, which used to be Archie's.

Campus isn’t the same w/o Campus Pizza, Big 10 and even the Village Wok.

What's it like where Bullwinkle's used to be compared to back in the day - still a destination spot?  I haven't driven past there in probably 25 years.

It is truly amazing how few options there are for dining on a campus our size.  I suppose some would argue there are options, but it's a lot of fast food now.  Very few sit down options.  I've been relegated to My Burger for most football games.

I can never get into Stubs on a football game day...plus the last time I was there the food didn't "sit well".

 

Also My Burger has $2 beers...even on game day.

I really like MyBurger.  Solid burgers vs. the rest in their category, and their fries and dipping sauce are better than all others.
