Brooke Raeker: Head down to the Club Grill near the main doors on the first level for a nacho helmet. Five different kinds, most with chicken. Delicious!
ESPN: Minnesota is hockey heaven. If you’re not convinced of this fact, check out the jerseys from every single high school in Minnesota hanging on the concourse walls.

Lounge · Summit - University · 58 tips and reviews
Jeremy Dowd: Late night food specials and a craft beer selection as well as a very popular patio make this a great warm weather haunt in the neighborhood.
City Pages: If you haven't been to Sweeney's, it's probably a good idea that you go. Happy hour is a great way to start with $3 Summit Pints and $0.50 Tacos every day from 3pm-6pm.
Chase Turner: Bathroom Review: They just redid the bathroom, which used to have some terrific graffiti. The new one features a poorly placed hand dryer immediately next to the urinal, you can guess what happens.
Matt Hahn: Best turkey around, in any dish. Turkey club wrap is a fav of mine.
City Pages: Treat every day like its St. Patrick's Day at McGovern's Pub! Sip on a Jameson Irish Mojito while you converse with bartender Aaron. Sorry, ladies: His number is not on tap.
Amy D: Order a guiness at the bar it should have a shamrock shape in the foam
