30 Best Bars near Saint Joseph

“A lovely place to have a few ciders and chat with the friendly bartender!“

“I like going to the Middy because there is always a wide range of people there. The drinks are good, the prices are pretty good. Sometimes it can get a little crowded due to the small space. But Will, the owner, is a good manager and knows how to keep the nights fun.“

“Chose to have our 2024 Christmas Party for our staff at the La Playette Bar in St. Joe. EXCELLENT CHOICE! From the first encounter with owners to save the date and work of the details to the last encounter with their staff closing out the bar bill everything was TOP NOTCH! Ann had the place perfect for us. Their staff took AMAZING care of us throughout the evening. Keep up the good service and great work.
Great Steps O & P“

“Shout out to Joe and his wonderful staff at Neighbor’s, St. Joe. They provided the perfect venue for my daughter’s baby shower earlier today! The taco bar was perfect, the staff attended to all our needs, everything was timely and exactly what was asked - could not have gone more perfect! Definitely a thumbs up from us - our guests commented how great the accommodations and food were as well. Much appreciated!“

“Everything about this place is exceptional. Amazing and friendly staff, super cool decor, and amazing food. Came down from Canada for a wrestling trip and am so glad we stopped here. Whole team loved it. Everything tastes high quality and good was ready super fast. I could not recommend this place more.“

“I’ve found my new favorite spot! This bar and grill has it all – amazing service, fantastic food, and prices that won’t break the bank. Every meal I’ve had has been delicious, and the staff makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a great place to eat, this is it!“

“Añejos in Waite Park is my absolute favorite! The best staff and you have to try the amazing FESH MARGARITAS 😍😍🍹“

“we love this bar. Tuesday night Trivia Max rocks. Thursday night Karaoke is the jam. The salads are the best around. Johnny and Wedge are great but Mama Notch tops them all“

“This VFW has become our go to Bingo bar on Monday nights. We love this place, the food, the people, etc. Only gets 4 stars instead of 5 bc they charge for REFILLS of soda from the gun. Thats a horrible business practice. I dont know if they are told to or if the wait staff is just doing it on their own. On top of the charge for refills, the glasses they give you are half the size of any other place I have ever been.“

“Spunky's knows how to throw a party! New Years Eve at Spunky's was a blast! We're new to this town. Everyone was so friendly. The locals took us in as one of their own. Can't wait to party with them again. Mardi Gras??? lol“

“Who doesn't love to support a small town bar? We did not try that food. But I think they have some Frozen pizza available to eat.. They do not have tapier but the bottles are about $4 a piece. The establishment is brand new, bathroom jerk and plenty of parking. The locals are friendly so why not give it a chance..“

“The Ruben was phenomenal! And the wait staff was great!! We will definitely come back! :)“

“Fantastic service even while busy! Very friendly staff and great food. Definitely recommend eating here, especially if you want to watch the game while you eat, TV's visible from every seat!“

“I recently stopped in at the Hideaway bar after moving to the area earlier this year. As a bar goes, it’s the kind of place where everybody knows everyone else. Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone, you will soon enough. They have great live music, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Their pizza is better than dominoes, or Pizza Hut, and far better than any bar pizza I’ve ever had. Actually, it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. It’s a perfect fit for this little town.“

“Beautiful old world charm. they have high ceilings with the metal tiling that I was told was freshly washed during covid shut down. Friendly bartender!“

“Awesome owner and staff! Great drinks and entertaining atmosphere. Just today a few of us in our MC did a road guard class that Stoney’s hosted and it turned out great. It was nice that they put in the work to host the class. I would recommend stopping in and checking them out!“

“I went to Job Sims house for a service call for his air conditioner not working. Jon immediately offered me breakfast as he is a cook at granite city. I politely declined and continued working. After I finished fixing his air conditioner Jon comes out with a plate of food saying it wasn’t in his nature to not give out food. I went back to the shop and ate the best homemade burrito I have ever had. Jon was not only one of the nicest people I have met but also one of the best cooks. You will not be disappointed going to granite city and receiving a meal made by Jon!“

“Fabulous bar restaurant- great food and cold beer 🍻! We’ve been coming with and without kids for 12 years- the best!“

“LOVE! Great food, great drinks, great prices, and great service! Love there fun atmosphere, especially on bingo night! I prefer to support family owned and local establishments and this place is both! Their wraps are a favorite in this family! The kids also enjoy the play and game area! Did I mention the pick up orders are always accurate and timely? Cannot say enough good about this place! Enjoy!“

“Love the location. Used to live around there. Nice hotel. Hot showers. Comfortable beds. Great place“

“We had a get together for a 70th birthday party at Midtown Bar & Grill with about 30 or so people. Great service! Great food! Love the Pinball Games and the atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.“

“Had the best shrimp tacos tonight! I’ve eaten here many times and the food is always delicious and prepared with care. Large margarita flavor selection. Wonderful service. Great family-owned business. Check them out!“

“A surprising find when we were looking for a restaurant with a quiet side room for a small family celebration. My grilled salmon was great & our server, Mia went out of her way to be sure we had everything we might want. There was even a bar for those who wanted something to drink. Thanks for a great venue.“

“This was the very first bar I came to when I moved to saint cloud. It wasn't my go to bar because it was out of my "jurisdiction". Vfw ended up becoming one of my favorite cornerstones. I ended up being in vfw's neighborhood. If your looking for friendly banter, with a Cheers tv show atmosphere. Come to vfw have a couple drinks and ask for juju. You will fall in love with the many patrons and older veterans who make vfw a very cool place.“

“Great food and very friendly staff! Definitely will keep coming back!“

“Muy bueno y muy buen servicio 👍👍“

“My mom (4-5 years) and aunt (7+years) worked at original downtown HOP... it was so fun to visit the new location. I still remember the upstairs of the original as a kid (scary stairs 😉). Such fun memories... the cheese garlic bread was so good, I didn't even get a photo of it. The pizza costs more, but it is 👍. So glad to hear it is still in the family!“

“Best food in town ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Lovely patio! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating! We went to watch our friend play (they have live music often)!! Best part is the Elote flatbread!! Highly recommend! Beers a bit overpriced (we weren't there at happy hour though).
I'll be going back again for sure (for the flatbread)! Lovely STAFF as well. Our waiter went above and beyond!“

“Stars should be more like 3-1/2 due to how long everything took. We came here just to eat. The dining area wasn't very full, but it took quite awhile to get water and menus. Then a very long time before our orders were taken. AND then a very long time to get our food. All the waiting took almost an hour and a half. The food was good but not good enough to justify the wait.“
