Bargain Bites: Burger Mondays at A-Side Public House

Kyle here. It's not unheard of to pay $12 for a beer — so when I heard St. Paul's A-Side Public House will also toss in a burger and fries for that price, I was there. Dig in: Axios reader Brittany flagged me to A-Side's Burger Monday deal, which comes with any craft beer on the menu — normally an $8 value. This was no cheap lager; I drank a hazy IPA. What to expect: A perfectly decent, single-patty burger — complete with a buttered bun and a tangy sauce — and a generous portion of crispy, fluffy fries. Not bad for, effectively, four extra bucks (before tax and tip). Plus: A-Side also offers a "kids eat free" deal on Sunday nights, Brittany notes. 📣 Know a good meal deal/steal we should feature in the newsletter? Let us know at twincities@axios.com.
