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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

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

“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 :-)“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Never had a bad burger here. Went in yesterday, St Patrick’s day and it was so busy. We got our food to go, it was quick and service was great. Love this spot.“

“It's a dive bar so ambiance isn't amazing but every single thing else is fantastic about this place. Great food, attentive staff, it is cash only but they have an ATM. I recommend coney dog with cheese if your ever interested in trying it out“

“Prompt service and great quality and tasty food !“

“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.“

“The best staff and team !!“

“Our Bar Tender Becky was the best...“

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

“Just a few doors down from the Turf Club sits a genuine hole- in- the- wall gem. A unique dining experience of food with flavors to expand your pallet. We had the yebeg tibs and veggie sambusa and a just in case order of chicken strips and french fries, which, while delicious, remained largely untouched as the yebeg lamb tibs and veggies entree was the star of the table. A No Forks Allowed shared entree with flavors that dance in your mouth, the bread (is that what it's called?) comes rolled up and the protein sits on top like a carpet. You grab a little piece of bread and scoop it up and make a mess and laugh and eat and EAT. The sauce was a savory, smoky collection of herbs and with a Minnesota Nice kick of spice, if my 70 yo mom could handle it, you can handle it. The umami was out of this world (and helps me to finally be able to define the taste, actually) The veggie sambusa was a perfectly fried pillow of yummy veggies with a salsa for dipping and the chicken strips were fried to perfection with fluffy french fries. The server was fast, friendly, and offered suggestions and answered questions we had about the menu. This restaurant is an invitation to a cultural exhibition of flavor and best of all, our 2 entrees — both large enough to share with at least 3 people) 2 drinks, and 1 app were reasonably priced at under $50.00. If you're going to a show at the Turf Club, come early for parking and dinner at Dilla, you won't be disappointed. It is an excellent addition to University Ave, I am glad they found a home on our little stretch of road and we should welcome them with open arms and empty bellies.“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“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!“

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

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

“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!!!“

“The Bulldog is a pretty standard place, warm beer, stiff drinks, but the reason I'm giving it a five star review is because of our server Hannah. She was AWESOME! She was also friendly, attentive and accommodating. We would go back to the Bulldog just because of her. Thank you Hannah for bringing some joy to our hang!“

“Love the pinball machines! Highly recommended!“

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

“I recently had the filet with a lobster tail at The St. Paul Grill, and it was outstanding. The filet was cooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. The lobster tail was fresh, buttery, and paired perfectly with the steak. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it a great spot for a date night, special occasion, or simply a great meal in downtown St. Paul. The service was attentive and professional, and the overall dining experience exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch steak and seafood dinner.“

“Excellence ! A touch of Class, Incredible service, Incredible entertainment-Coconut Tiger! Great staff! Unbelievable how amazing the vibes were on Friday night! We love this place! What a great job these guys do wow. A+💯“

“Great staff Great drinks Good music“

“Food is fine, nothing special, but what irks me is paying extra for fries. Burgers and fries and I have to pay extra for fries? Because I don’t want chips? It’s literally potatoes! I’m not a fan of their electronic pay system that automatically has different tips with that minimum at 18%. I always do 20% but it’s the principle. And it’s based on tax. I’m not tipping on tax. The people who work there are nice though.“

“I had a delicious smash burger here! The tatertots were also very good. The ordering process is very easy as you find your own table and start a tab using a QR code and credit card. It was very empty when I went but the staff seemed quite busy. I think the vibe was nice but I'm sure it's more fun when it's full.“

“Love the food and atmosphere here. Excellent vibe. Great place for happy hour and to gamble. Love the pulltab girl ❣️❣️“

“Best food I’ve had. Byron who waited/bartender for us is GOAT. Thank you!!!!“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

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

“great place and great food!!“

“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.“

“One of those ‘ole time’ places where you have regulars, people know so and so and such. I was looking for a breakfast place on a busy holiday morning and they were not busy. Service was great, food was good but sadly lukewarm. We had places to be and didn’t bother to say anything. We might try another time as the food was good even though it wasn’t hot. That has to say something.“

“This place has character! One of the chefs, Nate, let me try a new creation of his. I’m not sure if it’s going to become a menu item but it was the best burger I’ve had in a while. The house kettle chips were so thin and crispy, also the best I’ve had possibly ever. I’m not a fan of buffalo or blue cheese typically, but I trusted his taste with this burger and boy I’m glad I did. 10/10! Everything went together so well. It’s not on the menu but I hope it will be soon. He called it the “Beefalo” I’ll be back for it soon!“

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

“A friend and I visiting from out of town stopped by here for a couple of drinks outside. It’s unapologetically a neighborhood dive bar that looks to have been there for maybe 100 years. The outdoor patio has about 10 tables, next to the parking lot. Our waitress and bartenders were super friendly and nice. They are famous for the “Original” roast beef sandwich. So we ordered it. I wouldn’t order again. It was fine, but basically a massive pile of meat on a bun. Maybe it’s famous for how big it is.“

“Bartender is awesome . he helped us drown our sorrows after the wild loss“

“The fact you can stop in here on a Sunday and get 10 jumbo wings for 5 bucks is actually an insane deal. It might just be a Sunday thing but they also had half off apps while we were there too. The wings were perfectly cooked, moist and the BBQ ones were delicious. Our waitress was also super nice so we left her a nice tip. It wasn't very busy while we were there which is probably because it's a holiday weekend. However, I could see this place getting super busy with the kind of deals they are offering.“

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

“Hannah was MORE than AMAZING 🤩My wife has a fruit allergy and Hannah was MORE than accommodating. Offering alternatives so that my wife will have the best experience. Thank you Hannah and thank you for being yourself 💯💪👑

Can't forget about the CHEF 😁My baked fish was to live for. Thank you.“
