Union 32 Craft House – 0.9 miles from Training Camp
Basically located in the backyard of Viking Lakes, the Minnesota Vikings’ headquarters and training facility, you will find a beer haven unlike any other. Union 32 Craft House is the place to be during Vikings Training Camp, not only because it’s less than a mile away, but also because it’s home to the legendary beer wall. Take your pick and pour yourself any of the 32 homegrown beers, lagers and ales. Try one or try five, it’s up to you. This brewpub definitely takes advantage of its beer wall focal point, but don’t let that distract you from the food. You can choose from the classics like nachos and wings or indulge in some eats from the “What the Truck Menu”. Have your pick of plenty of different burgers like the Spicy E, Mushroom Swiss or the Cali, delicious pizzas or fresh wraps. Great food, Minnesota craft beer, an outdoor patio and live music AND right across the street from Viking Lakes? We’ll see you there.
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit – 1.8 miles from Training Camp
What goes together better than summer, football AND barbecue?! Not a thing. Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Viking Lakes is a local favorite that’s been cranking out slow smoked meats and delectable sides for over ten years in this location. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is known for its authentic Texas-style barbecue like mouthwatering fall-off-the-bone ribs, pit smoked chicken wings, beef brisket and much more. Whether you’re wanting to sit down for a comforting meal with the family or pick up and picnic somewhere near camp, you’ll be in barbecue heaven! Don’t forget to save room for a sensational slice of pecan pie to top off an amazing meal.
Volstead House Whiskey Bar & Speakeasy – 3.1 miles from Training Camp
Just a few miles down the road from Viking Lakes stands a speakeasy that you may or may not know about due to its hidden location, but we’ve got you covered. Just walk into Burgers and Bottles, which we will be talking about soon, and head to the red door in the back. You’re then transported to the Prohibition-era – dark wood, dim lighting, whiskey barrels and a beautiful liquor bottle wall display. While Volstead House is intimate and secretive, it’s become a hugely popular spot for visitors and residents alike. With unique signature cocktails like the Grumpy Old Man made with house blended scotch, spiced pear shrub, cinnamon bark syrup and lemon juice, your thirst will be quenched no matter what. For the hungry fan, Volstead House serves up tasty plates such as Duck Wontons, Steak Frites and Thai Chicken Pizza. You can’t forget to top off your speakeasy experience with dessert! The Raspberry Storm is a must, trust us.
