“Friendly people and a 10 star place“

“Saturday lunch is when I've been here. The food is quite good and the service is great as always. I've done the Reuben in the past,but this year I've been trying California burgers everywhere. It was pretty good, but beware, it's big. It was big enough that I should have asked for a bigger knife to cut it in half. I liked it and it's almost certain I'll have it next time.“

“My girlies & I spent celebrated my 40th birthday with you yesterday (16.03) & it was incredible. I was literally treated like a princess… we were put in a private function room, complimentary Prosecco, 3 x birthday desserts, & we were looked after SO well by Scott. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough, the food / drink / staff, were SO lovely! Thank you so much for making it so special x“

“Never had a bad meal here“

“Great wings and burgers and fries.“

“Okay, I told ya I’d give you the review, so here goes. 🫖
Very private, there was another table that came as we were wrapping up. They had the table set for us as we arrived. Then we all got to pick a tea and received our own tea pot. They had creamer packs, packet honey, rustic sugar cubes, and lemon segments.
A little while after getting the tea we received the tiered tower of treats and sandwiches.
The classic cucumber, a sundress tomato pesto turkey, and curried egg salad in a croissant. All tasty. The top was fruit, cheeses, which included one of my all time
Favorites, sage derby. Also there was a lavender tea cake which was dense yet the lavender was very tasty, it went well with the accompanying clotted cream, and jarred blackberry jam and honey.
The bottom was sweets, I can only speak for the little chocolate pudding which was good. I heard the macaroons were great, there were two kinds, but at that point I couldn’t even look. lol. Also blueberry scone.
Well worth the price of under $40 a person. And worth the drive. They had their own parking ramp and it was easy in and out.“

“The Gnome has great food and excellent service.“

“The service here is fast and courteous! I recommend you give them a try!“

“Friendly community gathering spot. Pub sings, jam sessions, and gatherings of morris dancers are why I end up here, that they are at Merlins because Merlins has always been enormously welcoming. It's our community home.“

“Bricks is one of our go-to spots, my husband and I are there monthly, and for good reason. The bar setup is awesome, the service is always top-notch, and the menu never misses. We know we’re getting incredible food every time, which keeps us coming back. The pizza and burgers? Unbeatable. The truffle fries? An absolute must. And if you haven’t tried the corn dip yet, do yourself a favor and order it... it’ll be a permanent starter in your rotation after one bite. Every visit leaves us happy and satisfied, and the consistently great experience is why we love Bricks so much. Huge thanks to the team for always delivering!“

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!“

“Love this spot. Great owners. Great feel. Good food. One of my favs.“

“Great good, great service, wonderful atmosphere.“

“Stopped in to get to go meal while at a conference at the hotel next door. Staff were welcoming and accommodating of my request, even let me have a water and tea while waiting. Food was excellent. I live in Saint Paul but will be making town hall a new place to stop with friends!“

“Recently moved to the area and decided to try MaGillycuddys! Absolutely loved it. All the staff was super friendly. Food was amazing! Will be our regular go-to spot from now on!“

“enjoyed the food and the service was great!“

“Great Live Music @ Mikkel Bee Presents👍🥳🥳“

“One of the true hidden gems of the Twin Cities metro, an absolutely fantastic nerd and even kid-friendly space (foosball, arcade machines, darts are all favorites). There are few better places to meet up and play a game - personally, not being a sports person, I love the lack of TVs, nothing to sap your attention or make you feel captive to random commercials. I go there regularly to play TTRPGs. Great beer, alcoholic and non-alcoholic seltzers, you can BYOF (Mashawi grill up the road is delicious). The beers aren't the usual 6 IPAs and 5 sours, there's a nice mix of British and German styles (including wheat beers, which are weirdly hard to find).

There are absolutely a million play spaces in different nooks and crannies in the building, you can always find a quiet place to play even if there's music, etc. The owner hosts tons of events, nerdy and otherwise. I only wish I could drink more beer and go more often.“

“We had a private party on Saturday and have nothing but praise for all the staff. Very helpful and everyone was so pleased with our food choices. Highly recommend Lucky’s 13 Roseville! Thank you.“

“Nice place to hang out, and the beer mac and cheese is good, very filling; tatertots are *crispy*, would absolutely recommend. The person who cooked it up for me in the kitchen was *very* enthusiastic and friendly! The bartenders were pretty quiet for my taste but very attentive. Not my top bar, but would be *very happy* to stop by here again. Good THC drink selection.“

“I have been to Pub 42 many times either by myself or with a party up adds of 6 people. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly. We have had the pleasure of having Riley and Iza as our servers on many occasions and I can’t stress how kind and accommodating both of them are, I have celiac disease and they are knowledgeable about the ingredients and the process of the food so that I am safe when eating there. Including the double checking and making sure that my food is gluten free, and with very limited chance of cross contamination. Both do a great job of making sure the food is good and arrives at an appropriate time, while being friendly and kind and connecting with us as patrons. I would recommend pub 42 to anyone and everyone and tell them to request being seated in either Riley or Iza’s section to guarantee them the best of service available.“

“We have been wanting to try here far a while and finally made it. The pizza is really good it came hot with lots of cheese and toppings. The traditional crust was crispy and good the sauce was a bit spicy for me, but that’s my problem. The service was outstanding and courteous.. would like to come back and try other things on their big menu.“

“the food was absolutely amazing!! This is our new favorite place!“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

“Lovely little spot to hang out. Beautiful inside and the staff is friendly. They also have a little patio area in the alley. The space as a whole was clean.
I tried the guava cooler mocktail and it was delicious.
Great space for music too. The stage and sound system are set up really great.“

“quiet Sunday afternoon, places was pretty empty.
expected standard pub fare, and were surprised to find really good brats and hot dogs. ordered a beet salad and all was fresh and flavorful. will keep it in mind for future forays into that area.“

“We had lunch on Saturday at the bar and Tyler’s service and overall attentiveness was outstanding! The food and drinks, I had a flight, were very good. Great experience our first time there.“

“They absolutely have the best wings ever! I've also been happy with other foods and the service!“

“IT'S EVERYTHING. GRRREAT PLACE, FOOD, EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS, OF COURCE BEER, THEY NEED TO GET MILLER 64 BACK FOR SOME OF US OLD VETERAN'S.“

“Our favorite pub in Como Park to enjoy a delicious cheeseburger with fries, cheese curds and the coldest beer in Saint Paul. Beautiful view of the golf course and Como Lake. Patio seating or indoor tables. You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy this!“

“you feel like family there thanks so much all of you!!“

“Terrific food plus excellent service!“

“Sweeney's was fantastic for hosting our large event. Their Oak Room space was perfect for a group of 120ish people, event staff were extremely helpful in setting up food, drinks, and fun for our guests and took great care of us the night of. Highly recommend as both a neighborhood bar, and as a place to host an event of any size.“

“We went for the Lynx tailgate party and it was a lot of fun but more so the food and service were some of the best we’ve ever had (and we go out a lot in a bunch of major cities).“

“The bar staff was great!!“

“Great service snd super friendly. As expected college town bar w good burgers. Fries are excellent and very crisp

Lots of different burgers to try and very good taste. Overall good and if daughter goes to school at the U we will be back“

“We have an ongoing birthday bowling tournament and Andover Lanes never disappoints! We were all in one area, but people were moving around alot, lots of food and drink orders... everyone was happy with the efficient service and the food was great!! Overall, VERY impressed with how the staff accommodated and handled our extremely large party! Thanks for the fun night, we will be back! ✌️“

“Great Chicken BLT Salad! Everyone at the table was pleased with their meals. I would definitely come again!!“

“Stopped in at the world famous Stub n Herbs for lunch with my brother. No wait on a Friday afternoon for a table at lunch. Nicole our bartender did a great job and she makes a good ol fashioned. Cool college bar with pool table and dart boards. Good mushroom Swiss burger and good sweet potatoe fries“

“Love the new space. Digital signage said burgers were $3 on Wednesdays. They were $4. Still tasty and a great deal, but update your sign. I sat for 10 minutes and watched the server take a picture of people at a table and chat with her friends. Never came near my high top table. I finally went to the bartender (very nice) who took my drink and food order. Server swung by 10 minutes later (20 minutes after I sat down). Told her I ordered from the bartender. She never stopped by after that. I was there for 45 minutes, saw her interact with her tables twice. Service was pretty scarce. 2 or 3 staff sitting in a booth. If the bartender hadn't been awesome, I would have left. Burger and onion rings were good.“

“What a great brewery located in the heart of Birdtown. Great bingo, meat raffle and an annual summer party with great give aways! The patio has live music in the summer. Winter time music moves inside.“

“Blarney Pub & Grill is a lively Irish-themed bar located in Dinkytown near the University of Minnesota, making it a popular spot for students and anyone looking for a fun, casual atmosphere. The menu features classic pub fare like wings, burgers, fish and chips, and Irish nachos, along with a solid drink selection. The Blarney Burger and appetizer sampler are customer favorites, and happy hour deals on drinks and starters add great value

Why not five stars? Reviews mention occasional slow service and inconsistent food quality, with some dishes feeling underwhelming. The bathrooms could use better upkeep, and the atmosphere can get very loud and crowded during peak hours

verall, Blarney Pub & Grill is a great choice for affordable drinks, hearty pub food, and a lively social scene. If you’re in Dinkytown and want a classic college bar experience with Irish flair, this spot delivers.“

“great vibes and service!!!“
