31 Best Bar & Grill near North St. Paul

“Great people and atmosphere. Clean place, fun history, cold beer, and cool staff. We'll be back.“

“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“

“The Cubano was excellent, and the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream are better than other local establishments. I had to give props to the cooks. Most bar food is mediocre, but I was so impressed with their food. We had a great Sunday afternoon here chatting with regulars and the staff. Everyone was very friendly. We will be back!“

“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!“

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“We visited on a Tuesday evening and had the dining area to ourselves, which was perfect for my 96-year-old grandmother. The quiet atmosphere allowed her to hear everything and more easily join in on the conversations.

Our waitress was kind and attentive, with a traditional touch—she served the ladies at the table before the gentlemen, something I had not experienced before dining here. The food was better than we expected it to be, especially given that the menu was on the smaller side. We even got a slice of chocolate cake in honor of the birthday we were celebrating. Overall, it’s a nice spot to bring your family if you’re looking for a very calm, relaxed setting.

I’ve also included a photo of the menu since I had trouble finding an up-to-date version online—hopefully it’s helpful!“

“Phenomenal burgers! Great service! Definitely recommend!“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem, The Cherry Pit is the place to be. From the moment you walk in, the cozy mom-and-pop vibe makes you feel at home. The food? Hands down the best I’ve had in a while! Portions are huge, fresh, and bursting with flavor, and all at an unbeatable price. Plus, the cherry on top – they’ve got charging stations right at the table, so you can stay connected while enjoying your meal. Highly recommend this spot! Mary K. Was our server and she was fantastic – super attentive and genuinely kind. She made sure we had everything we needed without hovering, and her recommendations were spot-on. It’s rare to find such great service that matches the quality of the food, but The Cherry Pit definitely delivers on both!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Tuesday tacos , tater tots , burgers , and the ribs are some of my favorites. And if you're a wing fan be ready as they are huge !!😋🍻“

“Our favorite local place to enjoy amazing food and amazing service! Our servers, Erica and Martiza, are literally the bomb. We try to always come when they're working!“

“I had lunch there yesterday with a busload of folks after a city tour. Both food and service were outstanding. The chicken was served juicy and fresh from the grill and fries were hot and crisp. The waitstaff were so pleasant and efficient. Can't wait to go back!“

“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.“

“We came mothers day to take my sons and wife out had a great time foods good steaks were real tasty the server was funny and great.“

“I don't go here often, and each time I've gone, there's been a change in food offerings. Several years ago, it was more American bar food. About 2 years ago, there was more of a Mexican and American food offering. As of a few days ago, it is an Asian and American food offering. We chose the selection of appetizers of potstickers, egg rolls, spring rolls and cream cheese wonton at $8/ea. The apps were tasty and our bartender was pleasant. The customers appeared to be regulars as the bartender was offering to get them their usual as they entered. A welcoming environment for the middle of the afternoon. I do wish the tap beer was colder, but I also didn't ask if they offered a frosted mug. I'd go again without hesitation.“

“Love the pinball machines! Highly recommended!“

“The best tap list in the Twin Cities northeast metro and guaranteed to have everyone’s favorite appetizer and meal on the menu. It’s a must stop for anyone visiting White Bear Lake and has the best patio in the historical downtown area. Whether you are visiting for the first time or lived here your whole life, you’ll love this place!“
