Week 9 - The Loop

Sunday's forecast was sunny with a strong chance of FUN!  When we arrived at The Loop, there was a large booth waiting for us with a sign that read "Welcome to the Loop" with Breakfast Club written below. I thought that was so great. We did make reservations, but when we arrived it didn't seem all that busy. It was my first time at The Loop in daylight hours and I have to say it looked completely different, but in a good way. For being a night club on the weekends, it was very clean and showed no signs of being open until 2:00 am the night before. Our entire table ordered the brunch buffet which was $12.95.  We had all been together the night before, maybe a few of us over indulging a bit too much, and we couldn't wait to eat.  We all rushed to the buffet and filled our plates. When we got back to our table our wonderful waitress was right there asking if we wanted an omelet or a Belgian waffle to go with our already ridiculous amount of food. Of course I got the waffle with strawberries and whip cream and it was delicious!! The large Mimosa's and Bloody's were just reduced in price from $6 to $4. I'll take another Mimosa please! And Tap beers were $3. It all made for a delicious inexpensive Brunch. It was the first home opener weekend for the Minnesota Twins and the game started at 1:10.  During our meal, some decided they could still purchase last minute tickets and most of  the breakfast group went to the game. The Loop is within walking distance to the stadium, so we just walked over there following brunch. I think the walk was much needed after how much we all ate. All and all, I love The Loop. Can't wait to try something off their regular menu next time.  The Loop is an Iowa Hawkeyes bar and I have a good friend that is a huge Iowa fan.  I know I'll be back as soon as their season starts, along with our normal Friday and Saturday outings there as well.
