Bar: Star Bar, inside the Theatres at the Mall of America. Very few movie theaters in the Twin Cities offer this perk. At the MOA cineplex, you can cleanse yourself of a bad movie (or celebrate a good one) with happy hour in its new bar, located just off the lobby.

Deal: $3 domestic tap and bottle beer, $4 house wine and $10 domestic pitchers of beer.

Hours: 9:30-11:30 p.m. daily.

Info: Fourth floor, Mall of America, Bloomington. 952-883-8900. www.theatresmoa.com.
