Target Field officially opens next week in downtown Minneapolis, and the big question is, where will all those baseball fans eat and drink? BRADSTREET CRAFTSHOUSE RESTAURANT

The slick speakeasy on the ground floor of the Graves 601 Hotel is the place for no-detail-spared cocktails and a tasty array of meant-to-be-shared noshes, all $10 or less and served late into the night. Hit happy hour (5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 10 p.m. to close Tuesday through Thursday) for a handful of decent food and drink deals. Closed Monday.

601 1st Av. N., 612-312-1821,

IKE'S FOOD & COCKTAILS

Classic Americana -- shrimp cocktail, meatloaf, great burgers, ice cream drinks -- served in equally classic surroundings by a platoon of friendly, fast-on-their-feet staffers. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.

50 S. 6th St., 612-746-4537

MOOSE & SADIE'S

Inexpensive, made-from-scratch breakfasts, lunches and weekend brunches (and early weekday dinners; doors close at 8 p.m.). Love the huevos rancheros, the BLT and chef Susan Muskat's beautifully made bars (if there's a brownie in the case, order it), cookies, muffins and rolls. Bev's Wine Bar, M&S's just-up-the-street sibling (250 3rd Av. N., 612-337-0102), is undergoing a ballpark-influenced metamorphosis, morphing from intimate wine bar into a neighborhood liquor-beer-wine hangout. "I just put in TVs last night," said owner Peter Kirihara with a laugh. "They look pretty good."

MURRAY'S

Splurge on the famous Silver Butter Knife Steak (28 oz. for two, $94; 42 oz. for three, $135), a glorious strip sirloin carved tableside by some of the city's most endearing and enduring waitstaffs. Or drop into the bar for a classic cocktail and a few nibbles of the kitchen's equally famous garlic toast.

PIZZA LUCÉ

It's two restaurants in one: a fantastic (and inexpensive) sold-by-the-slice counter, and a full-service restaurant and bar featuring pastas, salads, hoagies and, of course, pizzas. Check out the gluten-free menu. Weekend brunch and late-night hours, too.
