Majors is like a Champps. I don't believe there is ever a 21+ time. Families can go there and eat with their children at 9pm if they want. The only locations I know of are in Blaine, Vadnais Heights, and Albertville. All of which are not very central locations. But if there is a central location somewhere, then that'd be fine. GV isn't too far for me if we are getting there at 7 instead of the old 9 o'clock.
I used to go to Majors in Vadnais Heights every thursday after work, because they used to do Free Beer Thursday's from 5-6, and that also included 2 for 1 appetizers. But they stopped that. But it's a pretty good place to go to, good atmosphere, decent food, not too expensive.
Allan, I'm not sure about a bowling alley. Doesn't that completely go against your "not enough outside time" arguement?
HERE YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A MAJORS IN GOLDEN VALLEY, AND ONE IN CRYSTAL. BOTH WOULD PROBABLY BE FAIRLY CENTRALIZED.
