Twin Cities fans followup

Well, there are a few of us.  I looked into Alary's, and there are a couple of issues, as far as I'm concerned.

  1. They do not serve food.  They let you bring food in, but they don't prepare/serve.  This bothers me.
  2. It's not only a Bears bar (no biggie), it's also a cop bar.  That in itself is not a problem, cops need a beer or two after work like everyone else (maybe more!), it just seems like it might not be the ideal atmosphere for raucous Cubs celebrations.
A friend of mine suggested the Sibley Plaza Champps.  Anyone either love or hate that idea, or have another suggestion?

More info and questions
They used to serve at least pizza.  Is that no more?

I also heard that baseball is a bit different about their rules regarding games in bars, on many screens and stuff so Alary's might not have the ability to play them on multiple screens, etc. like they can with football.

I just need somewhere that is easy to get to
as I only have my bike and public transit, hey I'm in college, what can I say!  Plus, it will probably be a good idea not to be driving.

Anyway, all I need to know is where to meet, and hopefully it will be in the Cities, that's my only request.

I'd prefer Minneapolis
I'd be more likely to show up than if its in the 'burbs.  Like DTJchris, I prefer places that I can get to by the bus.

Where indeed...
OK, I've asked for suggestions, and I do believe we need a place that serves some food along with TVs and adult beverages.  And a cop bar in DT St. Paul that doesn't do food isn't going to make it, not for me.  So I'm going to make it easy and say I'm looking to meet people at the Sibley Plaza Champps.

It's off W. 7th St. just a short hop from where it turns into Hwy. 5 going to/coming from the airport.  Abundant parking, middling-to-decent food, lots of TVs.

There are bus lines that go past on W. 7th, and some that come very close coming down St. Paul Ave. from Highland Park.  Contact MCTC for specifics, please, I'm not a bus maven.
