Gate-side drinks in Terminal 2 before Sun Country flights
Minnesota Wild Bar and Restaurant sits in MSP Terminal 2, right in the Sun Country Airlines world and a short walk from most H gates. It runs through typical flight banks, usually opening by early morning departures and staying open into the evening, so you can grab a sit-down meal instead of another grab-and-go sandwich.
The menu leans sports-bar: burgers, chicken tenders, quesadillas, flatbreads, and loaded fries, with most mains in the $15–$22 range before tax and tip. Portions run on the larger side for airport food, so one entrée can work as a full meal on a 3–4 hour flight. Expect standard domestic beer taps plus a few local Minnesota options and mixed drinks that easily push a $12–$16 tab.
Rating hovers around 3.6 out of 5, which tracks with what you get here: food comes out hot, not memorable, and service depends heavily on how many Sun Country flights are boarding in the next 45 minutes. If you have under 30 minutes to boarding, you’re safer with a beer and fries than a full burger, since kitchen tickets can stack up when three gates call boarding at once.
Seats face multiple TVs running NHL and other sports, and the Minnesota Wild branding hits hard with green-and-red logos and jerseys on the walls. Power outlets show up at some bar seats and a few two-tops, but not all, so check before you commit to opening a laptop. Noise level spikes during evening game times, especially around 6–9 p.m. Central.
Tip: If your Sun Country flight leaves from an H gate, grab a bar stool closest to the concourse windows so you can watch boarding at your gate while you work through a burger and a 16 oz local beer.
