The editorial take
MC's Dugout Bar And Grill runs on daily Happy Hour windows and game-day pricing. The cocktail side includes Bloody Marys, Screwdrivers, and Mimosas at $5.50 during Early Happy Hour, with Screwdrivers dropping to $2.75 during Sunday Vikings games. Beer gets a 'Tap That Glass' list of ten options and its own Happy Hour and game-day prices. Spirits are represented by rails, drop shots, and the venue's self-described Hairy Buffalo. The program is built around approachable, price-led drinking rather than esoteric depth.
