50 Best Bar & Grill near New Brighton

“I love the Steak and eggs!!!!“

“We had yet another fantastic dining experience at The Exchange, and this visit truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. Our server, Angela, was an absolute gem, her enthusiasm for the menu and her attentive service made all the difference.

She went above and beyond, sharing her favorites and suggesting delightful pairings that enhanced our meal. Angela’s warm personality and genuine care made us feel like we were the most important guests in the restaurant.

We decided to try the Cuban sandwich, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The combination of flavors was harmonious, with perfectly grilled bread and succulent fillings that danced on our taste buds.

As we dined, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter and the clinking of glasses, adding to the excitement of the evening. Each bite of food felt like a celebration, and we savored every moment.

Overall, it was an amazing dinner that transcended our expectations, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary adventure at The Exchange!“

“A very classy and elegant experience. Good vibes, good food (nothing is bad), and good drinks! I am especially loving the themed nights. The Camden Social brings us together.“

“they have great burger's. the staff is great. it's reasonably priced“

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

“Great service, friendly staff, fun environment ! Definitely recommend as a place to go to get a bite have a couple drinks and have fun playing pool and darts with friends and family :-)“

“Wonderful staff. Great vibes“

“I love whiteys and the bartender Jazzy is one of my favorite bartenders when I come back home and visit. Being in the industry I love visiting her.“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“For an original North Loop neighborhood feel, Cuzzy’s is a MUST visit. For everyone in town this weekend, it’s part of the true Minneapolis experience. Great staff and awesome food!“

“Very fun! I can’t wait to go back!“

“The Tavern on Main is our go to when we go out for brunch, lunch, or dinner! It's hard to find better food in the area! 10/10 would recommend!“

“They donated Chicken Wings to a homeless shelter and the people living near this place should support them all the way. Just think how good the wings are when they are made by people who care! If you want to go out go tie Spring Street!“

“I’ve been there and think it’s pretty freaking good pub burger is the bomb beer cold and clean glasses. Nothing better that a great burger and beer in joint D,D&D’s are spot on. Thanks Guy F.“

“Fantastic Food, great music and the wildest bunch of neighborhood regulars.“

“Burgers unrivaled by none. Nice pours, friendly faces, staff is professional and just really cool, and the pull tabs support SPFD. Doesn’t get any better. #eastside #stpaul“

“Best dive bar around you won’t regret it“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“Prompt service and great quality and tasty food !“

“Cute place near First Ave and Target Center for a drink. Food is decent, if a little pricey, but that's Downtown Minneapolis for you. I really love the decor here though. As someone with some Scottish heritage, I'd definitely say it reps that aspect well.“

“My friends had told me I have to try the coneys at the Gopher Bar. I’m in St. Paul like never, so I have never got to go. I tried to go in July, but they were closed. And with their limited hours, it makes it tough.

I was finally in the area on a Saturday night, and hungry. I stopped in and it was well lit with plenty of seating. Fun, friendly atmosphere with a great wait staff. Fast service for a Saturday evening after 10pm. Got the drinks quickly, got the food quickly. Great service. I might go back just for the service.

I got the deep fried ravioli as an appetizer. Kind of like pizza rolls. They were delicious. I’d get them again for sure.

I also finally got to try the coneys. While they are expensive at $4 apiece, they are delicious. Served hot with a mountain of onions and on special toasted buns specifically for these coneys, it was a great experience. The only knock on the coneys is they don’t come with mustard on them which was odd. I knew they were missing something. I added the mustard and they were great. The dogs have a great “snap” to them when you bite them as they should.

I will definitely be back. Best coney’s in the metro that I’ve found. And I’ve tried a LOT of places.

Just be warned, parking in ST. Paul can be a nightmare and the Gopher Bar only takes cash.

Thanks for the great meal!“

“Wonderful Sunday breakfast brunch! Great service; delicious food!!“

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

“We stopped at Manning's on 12/19/23 and ordered their burger & fries. The food was soooo good and the service was excellent! We will be back!!!“

“This is my favorite Ethiopian restaurant! The doro wot is absolutely delicious, the service is always so friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Ethiopian food in a cozy setting.“

“fun little bar few dart boards and a few pool tables“

“The cowboy omelette is the best on the menu. And I haven’t found pancakes better than the pancakes served at Ole Piper Inn,“

“What a nice, comfortable, and enjoyable place. We were staying close and wanted a burger for dinner, and the were over the top, fantastic! You gotta have the waffle fries, they’re worth stopping in on their own. The service was spot on, timely, and polite. Olivia was our server and she made us feel like we were her only customers, and the place was busy. Great place to bring the family. Two thumbs up for Team POG, Minneapolis!!“

“Great staff Great drinks Good music“

“Great neighborhood sports bar. Server was friendly, efficient, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. They serve breakfast all day! However, I opted for an appetizer. Chicken quesadilla had thick slices of tender grilled chicken with diced grilled onions and a blend of melted cheeses. Perfectly distributed! Bacon cheeseburger was juicy and flavorful. Great presentation, but not pretentious. This cook takes pride in their work. There is a separate restaurant side and bar side. Bar was very lively with loud country music playing and an NFL game on their many large TVs at the same time. I'll be back for the service and the food!“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

“Recommend them. Just like the UK justice system only recognize two genders. A++“

“Amazing owners and staff! Our hockey team needed a place to have a holiday party and not only was McCarrons accommodating, the food and service was amazing!“

“Oh so delicious! Best burgers and fried chicken sandwich! Ice cold Beer!“

“The atmosphere is low key and friendly. The menu is relatively short but all our food was good. Service was fast, and we liked our server he did a nice job keeping up with our table. It felt like a good neighborhood bar. We’ll be back for sure.“

“Absolutely love the Bulldog Downtown & LowerTown!!! Best burgers & Phillies ever!! So glad to be back!!!“

“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.“

“Jackson's Hole gas pretty good happy hour drink specials“

“Food was great. Service was great. Ambiance was great.“

“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.“

“Course is kept in beautiful condition. Friendly staff. Only negative: because of all the corporate events it’s difficult to get tee times.“

“Excellent community service.“

“Welcoming, with just the right amount of lighting, TVs, ambient music and TVs. Cozy bar area. Highly recommend the chips and queso, it's way more complicated and tasty than it sounds. Plenty of street parking. You'd be dumb not to go here.“

“Always a good time, wonderful neighborhood bar.“

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

“Went here with extended family as the Aquatennial parade was cancelled.

Hosted about 18 of us on 3 lanes.

Got us in and up and running smoothly.

Server did an amazing job considering our group size.

Pretzels and Philly were amazing.

Cheese curds were a little too much breading and needed some ranch - finished them before the side of ranch came 😜

Drink prices were affordable and bowling was fairly priced.

Was a fun time considering the cancellation and would go back again- if in the area.

Thank you!“

“A classic Saint Paul neighborhood bar, with simple grub yet so affordable, a mix of Asian and American. All served as takeaway but you can eat it there if you want and the portions are gigantic. There's bingo two nights a week, a Friday afternoon meat raffle, and pulltabs/etabs. Locals are the majority of the clientele but for all its grittiness, it's a safe place with patrons who care about the establishment! Watch out for the parking lot. It's a dirt lot minefield of potholes that will destroy your transmission of you go faster than 1 mph.“
