721 Sports Bar & Lounge

4250 Lexington Ave S #111, Eagan, MN

A new sports bar is opening in Eagan, but don't picture your typical wings-and-flat-screens setup. 721 Sports Bar & Lounge is going for something more upscale: chef-inspired food, craft beverages, and a VIP lounge atmosphere built around watching the game. Think elevated game day, not dive bar. Opening this spring.

328 Grill

350 33rd St W, Hastings, MN 55033

If you've been to the beloved burger spot inside American Legion Post 98 in Saint Paul Park, you know why this is a big deal. Chef/owner Mik German is bringing 328 Grill to the former Me & Julio space with the same fan-favorite burgers plus an expanded menu, a full bar, a patio, and a Friday fish fry. Doors are expected to open late April.

Hasu Japanese Restaurant

1309 Vermillion St, Hastings, MN 55033

Hastings is getting a Japanese restaurant. Hasu just opened, serving handcrafted sushi and sashimi, tempura, teriyaki, and noodle and rice bowls, all made fresh daily. If you've been waiting for a solid sushi spot closer to home, this one's worth checking out.
