Bar & restaurant deals 4/12: Game day specials

The Twins' first home stand is this week, but sadly many downtown bars pull their happy hours on game day. After springing for tickets and parking, you deserve to have a beer or two while saving enough scratch for an overpriced foam finger. Consider these spots for some cheap revelry.

Hubert's Sports Bar and Grill

Just a shallow fly ball away from Target Plaza, Hubert's daily deals thankfully remain intact when Gardy's platoon plays at home. Every day until 6 p.m., all taps and bottled beers are $4, which means you can catch a discount after matinee games, too. Celebrate a win (or more likely, treat a loss) with a $4 shot of Jägermeister anytime during April.

Mackenzie

Fans craving a better beer need look no further. With a craft-centric tap list, Mackenzie's beer lineup is far stronger than the Twins' starting nine, and at a fraction of the price. Flash your ticket stub to knock a buck off a drink two hours before or after any home game. Sorry Bert, no Coors Light on tap here.

The News Room

For games with a 7:10 p.m. first pitch, a 6 o'clock last call on happy hour is downright cruel. Luckily, the News Room keeps its Monday-through-Friday specials rolling until 6:30 p.m., so you can sip $4 taps, rails and wines till it's time to head to Target Field. Starting at 3:30 p.m., you can also dig into select $5 apps and skirt those stadium food prices (aka the Joe Mauer tax).
