The one I remember best is on Grand (Bonfire?) but I know I had been to a couple in Minneapolis and I figured there had to be a few more around the MoA area. I thought they were ok myself, but I always hate going to places where it is so loud it is difficult to talk. As for places more unique to the Twin Cities, I think I am drawing a blank for date type places. Family places with little kids I may have a few.
As for parents, don't get me started. Being a parent myself and watching what my sister went through I can understand where they are coming from. They want the best for their child, I get that. As a coach though, you have to do what you think is best for all the kids and team as a whole. Parents tend not to get that being protective and all. Not that coaches are infallible, but they generally have a larger picture of what is going on with the team and contrary to some parents' beliefs, we aren't out to ruin their children. Personally, haven't had bad luck with parents, but I have seen the horror stories.
And be careful in the Bahamas, I came back from the caribean married....
Axel's Bonfire on Grand in St Paul is nothing short of amazing. I love it. Axel's has quite a few scattered throughout the Twin Cities. They have a website if you google it.
Up until this past year I'd had very good luck with parents. This past year I had 10 kids who, according to their parents, were the next LBJ of youth basketball. We were good, but not that good.
