I'm curious what other people do for pre-game. Lucky's Pub was my favorite before weeknight games, but it just is more enjoyable for me to go to weekend games. Last season, Jackson Street BBQ was a favorite. Easy to park north of MMP. Osso Kristalla is a trendy spot that I expect will be more popular for us this season. Wife likes it and I'm willing to go if it means we go to more games. Good if going with a group that aren't big baseball fans.
During last years playoffs I ate at and parked for the game at some hole in the wall bbq place id never seen or heard of before. Now I can’t remember the name.
Meet at Spanish Flower or some such, eat queso and whatnot, roll downtown. Last time I was down there, I had a blast at the brewery playing bocce, then we walked to the game.
If I'm going to the game, I have been hitting up that eighteen twenty place because why not? It's the closest bar to the stadium and I can walk easily.
