Every Sunday

Football season is better at Bear Cave. We’ve added 7 new TVs throughout our Upper Beer Hall and Conservatory, giving you even more places to get a beer, grab a seat, and catch the game.

Vikings Sundays are even better. When the Vikings play on Sunday, everyone watching gets a free beer for the first Vikings touchdown of each half. That’s up to two beers on us just for cheering on the home team.

Make a day of it with Happy Hour from 3–5 PM Sunday through Friday, plus Happy Hour all day Tuesday, and check out our rotating weekly food specials while you watch.

Looking for a particular game—or something else you want to see on TV? If you don’t see it playing, just ask a staff member. We’re happy to put it on for you whenever we can.

Bring your crew, grab a table, and settle in, Bear Cave is ready for game day.
