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

“This is Macklemore bar, and I called him the Great, king of purple, and so did you. And you are allowed to pop the text to see how much shit costs Tevin and I can tell you for a certain that my nephew Deven would kill a Man for me. If I asked him too, but he’s such a nice man and the best father to his sons. I don’t doubt for one second that too tall is on this team.“

“Awesome food !! Best service ever !!! Would go there to eat everyday if I could !!“

“Patio area on a nice night was phenomenal. Bar tenders were very good. I only ate nuts and chips/dip so I can't rate the food but I had a good time. Would've given it 5 stars if it weren't for that girl working the karaoke. She was extremely rude.“

“Excellent food and service, but they rush your dining enjoyment, pushing your main meal while still enjoying appetizers, suggesting they want higher table turnover over customer satisfaction. We felt rushed, likely won't return.“

“This is one of the BEST food spots I have been to in the St. Paul area, I highly suggest eating here. The food is amazing, hot and the flavor is great. Came here for all you can eat breakfast every Sunday for only $20 per person!! Please check it out :)“

“The best hole-in-the-wall spot for coney dogs! The food is always delicious, and the old-school atmosphere gives it so much character and charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like a local favorite the moment you walk in. If you’re craving a great coney dog and a nostalgic dining experience, this is the place to go.“

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.“

“Highly recommend! Excellent. The restaurant is cozy and tropical and you feel like you’re on vacation. But the showstopper is the food. Pricey but worth every penny! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“Dive bar atmosphere country environment“

“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“

“This place is a solid dive bar that takes you right back to the '70s. It's not fancy, just good drinks at great prices. The place is super relaxed, and the crowd is friendly and laid-back. It’s in the heart of downtown. This bar is an adults type place, though—wouldn't recommend bring the kids. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink and relax, this is it. Highly recommend!“

“I cannot speak on the food but I can speak on the people who work for the company and own the business. They are amazing, I saw them on Joshlilj’s Facebook page and they gave him 20 elotes for free to hand out to the homeless and that right there tells me their business deserves a 5 star rating.“

“Great people and cheap drinks! Great band that plays Wednesday’s from 7-9 no cover!“

“Check out the Saturday afternoon specials in the bar.“

“Sampled a few different Thor ciders at Ciderfest 2022, and honestly… they were fantastic. I may have found my new favorite Cider Brewer!“

“Stepped out on a Monday just to be outside for a little bit on a late night. Hey, don't have cognac, but josh.The server was extremely nice.
And put out some good vibes. I didn't try any food maybe next time but they do have a pool table in the dark board pool tabs. So maybe next time on that too“

“Open mic karaoke on Saturdays“

“The atmosphere was amazing from the get-go! Everyone was warm, friendly, and professional. Our experience was one thousand times amplified by the excellent service from Annie; she was friendly, personable, knowledgable, and amazingly attentive. Anyone who values good service should spend their time at Cossetta’s“
