25 Best Sports Bars near Cottage Grove

“Great food. Served hot which is nice“

“For an Applebee's chain restaurant, this one is a good location. The server was a bit slow (he was also the bartender and there was only the one other server when we came in), but he was friendly and kind and accommodating. What surprised me was the food. Last time I was in an Applebee's it was all a bit... Sterile tasting. This was actually tasty. The fiesta lime chicken was tender, not overcooked as I was expecting. The rice was flavorful and (thankfully) did not contain corn. The chicken parm fettuccine was fresh and flavorful. The drinks were my favorite. I had a watermelon lime rush, which is one of my favorite combinations of flavors, and it was so refreshing and lively and went perfect with the food.“

“came in today and had great service (as always) from Michelle behind the bar! Also had the pot roast sliders, so glad to see those are back on the menu! now if the italian mac and cheese was back on the menu this everything would be perfect!“

“Our first time here and it did not disappoint! Fantastic food, phenomenal service, good pull tabs and perfect atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food! Had to flag the waitress for drinks n bill. Wierd method of paying though. She brought the bill and said, I’ll take that now. We had no time to look at the bill, discuss who’s paying for what and how much of a tip to leave. She stood right there while I dug through my purse for my money.“

“10/10 respectful of health codes and laws, keeping untrained pets out of the restaurant.“

“I had their Salmon dinner for the first time. I'm not a huge lover of salmon but this was delicious! I had broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes with it. They were also good, but I could not taste the garlic in the potatoes which was a bit disappointing. Still deserved a good rating, however.“

“We love coming here as a family! everyone is sooooo nice, and really likes to give off a good family vibe. Also don't think we have ever had a bad meal. we will keep coming back!“

“5 stars is not nearly enough stars for this place. I have celiac disease (severe wheat/gluten allergy) and when I saw gluten free cheese curds and gluten free fried pickles on the menu, I about cried. I haven’t had cheese curds or fried pickles at a sports bar since I was diagnosed 11 years ago. Their food is absolutely incredible- something you normally wouldn’t expect from a place like this. I’m so grateful to whoever created the menu!

Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options! Designated fryer for the fried items listed as gluten free!“

“It’s super fun totally go“

“This place is great even if everyone don't no my name I'm ok with that drinks are great ...

Parking: It's street parking right now where getting the train put in so construction has been making parking harder otherwise walking great 2 blocks from home.“

“The place lives up to its name! Tasty shrimp at 2 bucks a piece and fair priced drinks...you can order the shrimp by the "each" so if you want one or 20 it's all good! ...the perfect dive with a pretty decent Bloody Mary to boot!“

“It’s super fun totally go“

“Waitress was nice, but slow more worried about her friend birthday and singing to them than serving us. Had to wait and wait.

Kid-friendliness: All they have is a menu that you doodle on.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and entrance“

“Our kitchen is open. We focus on serving high quality, freshly made to order bar food, with a twist. We offer food specials as well as surprise Gourmet chef specials. We have awesome Bloody Mary's one of the best I've had. We offer drink specials 2 4 1s on domestic beer and premium rails. Our neighborhood is being revamped which is awesome for the bar and community. So if your looking for a cool neighborhood dive bar with awesome staff and great food come Check out The Saint Paul Saloon. P.s The owner is on site and loves to interact with the patrons of the bar.“

“I love this bar, I come in and spend money all the time. I buy drinks for people and always tip the bartenders and servers. Today I came in looking to conserve money because I’m getting hit with school loans. I ask the bartenders if I could just tip a dollar and hang out and he says no. I ask my buddy Dave if he can cover a soda but he’s tapped. So I oblige and go to my wallet and pull out a 5 to pay for a half order of fries. The bartender denies me service and accuses me of getting the money from bar partrons. This is MY money that I earned and here I am willing to spend it in order to follow their rules of no hanging out without spending money.

This man damn near lost me as a customer. I’ve spend hundreds of dollars at this establishment over the last few months.

I still think this is a great bar and the other staff are fantastic, the food is great and people are generally friendly( as friendly as Minnesota can be).

This bartender will never receive a tip From me again. Pissed off that I’ve tipped him in the past.
I just played pull tabs since he literally denied me service.
Once again still a great bar. If the owner would like to know who this bartender is let me know.“

“If you love seafood like me, this is the ideal place for you to visit fresh seafood all the time. ??
I had a mixed shrimp and octopus cocktail and it is the best I have eaten here in Minnesota. Really all their meals are delicious, the atmosphere, the service, everything was excellent!! Thank you“

“I’ve dined in and have had ordered on door dash and every time the food is delicious! This last time i dealt with Miguel on the phone to alter my order not only was the food amazing the customer service was customer servicing!! Way better than a few years ago I’m very pleased!“

“the bartender was nice, on top of everything, treated others with respect on a timely manner, great vibe, and I had order Pho to go, broth was on point“

“My little brother says this Applebee's in specific has his favorite chicken wings ever lol. However my personal fave is Applebee's classic cheeseburgers & French fries! However I was a bit let down with my order from here, I ordered my favorite meal, obviously. & not only was the burger not cooked the way I asked for it to be (medium well) but it was under cooked which is never a good thing. I took one bite & unfortunately spit it out due to how pink it was still.. the fries were UNSEASONED (the seasoning on the fries is literally why i love them so much.) and were cold and slightly soggy...? I've eaten here over a year before this experience and back then I had a wonderful time, but this time at least as far as the actual food went was not a good time at all. But i will say the host that bagged and rang up my order was very kind. I enjoyed speaking with her. the only other thing Id like to say is there really should to be more standing room for customers when waiting for a table, paying for their meals, etc. The area they currently have I personally don't think is even big enough for 2 full booths. For instance i am 5ft tall and i was attempting to stand there with 3 other men, all whom were about average height/ maybe slightly shorter and to be completely honest it was so cramped that we were all touching shoulders... just made it very uncomfortable overall while waiting for my food/waiting to pay. Overall though this specific Applebee's franchise is alright. I just know of a few other locations that I personally prefer.“
