    I typically go to games with either my wife or a friend, but tonight (thanks to ucatchtrout) I am taking my 4 year-old daughter. Because I am always with adults, finding a place to eat isn't a problem, but since my daughter is 4, options could be limited.

    A few questions:

    1) Is The Game still open? Are kids allowed?
    2) Are there any other options for kids in the Rose Quarter?
    3) If the answers to the above are no, any other suggestions for where to go eat ~5:30 or so?

    Thanks in advance!

    There's a Red Robin on Grand Ave about 1/2 a mile from the RG. There's also several places in Lloyd Center that you could eat on the third floor food court, then leave your car parked there and take the MAX for free down to the arena and back. I do that fairly regularly when I go to games.

    Have fun at the game with your daughter! :) I remember my son's first Blazer game. He was 5 and really excited!

    IDK what the game is but if it was in the stadium I don't think it is. The pyramid taproom actually isn't a bad place to go. They allow kids and they have burgers and chicken and such. It is open 2 hours prior to the game and you need your ticket to get in. They have tons of TV's also. You can always go to the Red Robin on Burgerville that is just up the road towards Grand Ave., hope this helps.

    There's also a Stanford's by Lloyd Center.

    Even though it's family-friendly, I'm not sure it would be much fun for a 4-year-old, though.

    Red Robin is probably the way to go.

    Yes.

    I've also decided to park on 3rd and Alder in the Smart Park, eat at Buffalo Wild Wings, and Max it to the game.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    It can be but I have never had problems getting service. At least they can handle the load.

    If it is, we'll work our way toward the Garden, first by street, then by Max. I plan on getting there at 5pm, so hopefully it won't be too crowded.

    There's a $4 lot next to McCormick's downtown, eat there at the happy hour and free max it to the game and back.

    At least, that's our normal plan when we head down. That or the Lloyd Center thing (as already described.)

    Yeah, there's the Red Robin but that place was packed an hour, an hour and a half before the game when I wanted to go there. It was crazy.
    And there was like a 45-minute wait, and we just left. There's a Chiplotle or Muchas Gracias right around Grand.
