MINNEAPOLIS (March 28, 2016) – To kick-off the Minnesota Twins home opener on Monday, April 11, FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar Downtown will host the restaurant’s sixth annual tailgate that is now even bigger and better with a ‘Pig on the Porch.’ Located outside of the 31 S. 7th Street location and starting at 11:30 a.m., Executive Chef Jim Kyndberg and his culinary team will kick off the festivities roasting a whole hog, from Moo, Oink, Cluck Farm, on the patio to create an all-star menu.

Whether rooting for the Twins or the Chicago White Sox, locals and visitors can get in on the FireLake fun with tailgate offerings including a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($7) served with kettle chips and Pork Tacos ($4 or 2 for $7) complete with all the fixings and served with tortilla chips.

The Lift Bridge Farm Girl Ale keg will be tapped and ready for fans to enjoy while listening to pre-game coverage on KFAN Sports Radio FM 100.3 providing up to the minute news on the game ahead. With FireLake’s prime location, just blocks away from Target Field, baseball fans can be a part of the ultimate Minneapolis tailgate to kick off the 2016 baseball season until right before the first pitch is thrown at 3:10 p.m.
