Target Center is set amongst the vibrant nightlife and restaurants of downtown Minneapolis.

What are the must do things in the city?

Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

Found beside the Walker Art Center, this sculpture garden stretches out over 11 green acres. Contemporary works include the much-loved Spoonbridge & Cherry by Claes Oldenburg. And if you're into blooms, take in the scents of exotic hothouse flowers in the Cowles Conservatory.

Craft Brewery Tour

Run by various companies, these guided tours give visitors a flavor of Minnesota's best craft breweries and taprooms. Many come with generous samples and descriptions of the process that brings out the area's distinctive tastes.

Mill City Museum

The floor industry may not immediately sound that thrilling. But combined with the rich history of the city and beautiful views across the Mississippi River and you've got yourself a great afternoon trip for a  $12 entrance fee.

Where are the best places to eat near Target Center?

The Shout House

Not your average bar, The Shout House sees the audience request tunes then played by duelling pianos. The lively atmosphere comes with cocktails and a menu of southern comfort food, so swing by to get in the mood for a gig or game.

The Local

For four years running, this Irish pub has poured the largest volume of Jameson Irish whiskey in the world. That alone may be reason enough to take the ten-minute walk from the center. There's also a decent menu including a classic fish and chips plate, plus international sports are shown for that lively atmosphere.

Fogo de Chao

Although there's a salad bar, this Brazilian steakhouse might not be ones for vegetarians. Think fire-roasted beef seasoned with rock-salt, sliced thin at your table. The chefs pride themselves on the succulent meats and flavors from Southern Brazil.

Pizza Luce

Creative and award-winning pizzas draw the crowds to this local restaurant chain. The restaurant has a laidback atmosphere with booth seating  and bare brick walls fit for a pre-game drink or three.
