“Love to go to Crooked Pint with my friends to watch the Vikings games. They are very friendly and we always have Kayla, great waitress, waiting on us. Love the door prizes too.“

“Soup and salads are great“

“Yes - a Warm Inviting Atmosphere and greeted by the owner! Music and drinks Great 5 stars ⭐️ from me !“

“We always enjoy the joyful atmosphere & the food is incredible but the service is like have a personal chef. Always very knowledgeable on the menu. We have known Star for a few years from Marx & was pleasantly happy to be able to see her continue with what she knows best. Always such a joy to see her. All of the servers have been super friendly & we will continue to support them.“

“i haven't tried the food so i can't say. but i got in a disagreement with the bartender this evening, and said that i was leaving, i'm a hair short of six feet and 250 pounds and i'm loud, usually unintentionally, and people always think i'm angry. So i'm sure the bartender took it that way. so he instantly gave my card back and said no need to sign i'm good to go. very friendly about it too. this was after an evening of exemplary service from him, but he didn't give me a chance to tip since we were disagreeing. what and excellent and principled thing to do. i like this bartender and can't wait to go back, also i did insist on tipping.“

“Stopped in today with a friend for a couple burgers. Food was excellent, as was the service. Will definitely be back.“

“We came here with the promise of some great Coneys, and we were not disappointed. Yeah the place is a bit of a dive, but that definitely adds to the charm. The apps we had (fried mushrooms and mozzarella sticks) were delicious, but those Coneys... OH MY GOD!!! Absolutely delicious! I had 2 but I could've easily downed 2 more. So good, and what was especially impressive that every one of the 5 total that we had looked exactly the same. The consistency of the cook is often overlooked at other places, but not here. Top notch! Also, our bartender Jade (sp?) was super friendly and always on top of anything we needed. Very funny too. A little bit of humorous commentary made for an even better experience.

As I said, the Coneys are to die for, but I would also recommend the Reuben egg roll. I got one after I was finished with the dogs, and it was absolutely amazing!

Gopher Bar is definitely the place to check out if you are a Coney Dog fan. And if you're not, there's plenty of other options to try that all looked incredible when I scanned the menu. Also, and this is yet another reason to choose The Gopher, the prices are very cheap. I wouldn't have expected to get full for under $20 anywhere these days, but they certainly did it! I'm actually getting hungry again just typing this! 😅

FYI, cash only. They do have an ATM though. 👍“

“The new owners are amazing as well as the staff. Kirkwood BBQ has joined them in the kitchen and the food is a must have! Love the outdoor area and the space inside.“

“This is the best live music venue in Saint Paul. They do not have a food menu, but if you want some snacks they can help you out. The patio is pet friendly and an awesome tucked away space with huge pine trees and a fire pit. If you want live music this is the place with having multiple shows on many nights. The early shows are even on weekdays and from 6-8 pm. You don't have to stay up late to enjoy the live music scene.“

“I love this bar, it's my kind of place. Just walking thru the front door puts a big smile on my face.“

“Nov 30 We cannot figure out if you are only open for events or daily for? Food or ? Need more places to support and eat/ s St. Paul“

“Very Flavorful fine dining“

“Small cozy fun lounge. Been here a few times. Everything down to the light fixtures is original from the time it opened. Well kept up so the uniqueness of this is awesome. Prices are very good as well. Likely the best service in town. We just went again on Saturday and had a blast... Open late too.“

“Cool place in Mahtomedi. Great beer selection, and also the choices of wine are really nice, different from the usual. We have been here several times and the food has always been very good and the happy hour has some good appetizer selections. We will be back!“

“My 4 year old had so much fun in the arcade!“

“Both my daughter & my meals were good. She had the walleye tacos & sweet potato fries & I had the bbq burger, both were fresh and my burger was juicy!“

“Was passing through from red wing and stopped in on a Saturday. Wonderful atmosphere and Dani was amazing!!! Highly recommend stopping in for a drink and some pulltabs!“

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.“

“small town bar atmosphere. great drinks, nice people.“

“Best Dive Bar Around and Best Bartenders Ever!!! Definitely a place to check out when you’re in the St Paul area.“

“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!“

“This is an absolutely wonderful male dive bar, it's quiet and has quick service... if you are a female watch out for Steve(married) and be ready for probably too much attention because it's all older men and a couple biddies around.“

“Old school local experience. Keep it alive“

“Karaoke! Love the people there!“

“Consistent quality and value at the St. Paul Hotel is guaranteed without the hoopla but more so by the incredible effort of the staff that is effortless. From my early arrival to in-room and venue dining to the daily interactions ~ I am always satisfied.“

“Great bartenders! My friends and I always have fun everytime we come😁🍺“

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3“

“Best bartenders ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“steak night every Wednesday night 6pm“

“Awesome staff and fabulous patrons!“

“So romantic Lol fun bar is huckleberry still around?“

“Anna is the best bar tender that I have ever had the pleasure of being served by her! She is super friendly a great conversationist that makes you feel very comfortable when you are in this establishment. I will be returning to this place. Thank you Anna.“

“This is a classic St. Paul bar. Don't expect anything fancy, but what it lacks in poshness it makes up in charm. The bartenders are very nice. The patrons are mostly regulars and are down to earth and friendly. If you want to just have a drink at a good price this is the spot. Oh and if you are worried about this place not being accepting and safe, I was here to watch my lesbian sister perform her music and was with my best friend who is a drag queen. My sister is one of the regulars here and her and her wife love it.“

“Wow! Like stepping into an elegant dream. I don't normally like lobster, but I could down those lobster deviled eggs all day! Be sure to order a Fitzgerald and plan on spending some time here just taking it all in.“

“Good friends, Meat Raffles on Wednesday’s and Fridays, Happy Hour Specials.“

“This has become a favorite happy hour hang out. Great value and the best bartenders. Kendrick is amazing.“

“They never had anything for half time to snack on. Beers were cold..“

“Great fun, good mood, and awesome food.“

“They only have Heggies pizza. Always good in a pinch. Went for the Vikings game. Crowd was into the game. And when the Vikings score a touchdown you get a Grape Ape! Lots of bar games to choose from. So if you're not watching the game then go for the beer it's double up for a buck. And take advantage of some of their bar games. Will definitely go back.“

“We have shot at Royal golf club many times and the staff and venue are incredible. We highly recommend them to host your wedding! The outdoor space is beautiful and by the lakeside and the indoor space is updated and modern with bright white walls and large stunning windows overlooking the course. The food is outstanding and the space is perfect for hosting your wedding“

“Cool Hide Away... Friendly Staff...“

“Camp is an overall great bar! From their awesome and attentive servers (Britt, Josh, Nate, Frank, Tim and Brian) to their awesome selection of tap beer and mixed cocktails, darts, pool, trivia and live singing nights to their comedy cabaret next door, they have a little bit of everything (plus Heggies pizza)! The bar is very, VERY LGBTQIA+ friendly, the vibe is chill and it's a great place to hang.“

“It was a great! We sat on the patio at 5:30. Good food, lots of family w/kids. I will go back again. My husband like the Mac and cheese and I had a Rachel that was good.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for the kids on the patio.“

“Best place to play darts! I feel bad that I don’t know the bartender’s name, but she’s absolutely amazing! (11/18/24).. we were honoring our mom who passed and she was incredible! Thank you for the hospitality 🫶 we’ve been there a 1000 times before and we will continue to be patrons“

“Let me start by saying I love this place, but I've got some gripes. Horrendous bouncers. The bouncer on 11/8/24 was horrible. I didn't catch her name, but she had no business working her position. After waiting in line outside to check in for the concert, I decided to get a beer at the main bar, when I got inside. Upon returning to the line, she said we had to wait until all other guests got through, despite us interacting with her in the line, and already waiting our turn. Upon talking with other concert goers, we weren't the only ones she screwed. Plenty of other people were told to go back in the line they already waited in, and plenty of people missed a show they paid for. I missed 80% of the show I paid to see due to her not letting me in. Yall can do better, I know you can. I frequent this venue for concerts a lot, and this night was the worst.“
