This is a regular spot for me - we’ve been enjoying the good food since they first opened! I was so happy to finally make it in for their new brunch menu! The burrito was so yummy!! I added beets to the house salad it came with - 😋

Fun place for happy hour, drinks or dinner. The burgers are really tasty, and I love the chicken wings.

This is one best bars in the city when it comes to the food. The quality that is coming out of the small tucked in kitchen is amazing! The dip sandwich was probably the best dip style sandi I've ever had plus the homemade chips are fire. The chicken sandwich is like no other place around and so delicious. The service and atmosphere are also A+ can't be beat. It seems like everyone working really cares, I can't say enough good things about this place! Come to the Eastside asap!

Great spot on Payne to meet friends or take the family. It can get pretty noisy inside but in the not-freezing weather the patio is gorgeous. They have the best cheese curds on the planet.

We stopped at Brunson’s after an art crawl. The service was timely and attentive, the food was great, and it was a good value. The cocktails were a generous pour and very good.

My partner Jack & I visited the Brunson's Pub today. Had 4 glasses of wine each and really got to connect and realize how good our chemistry is.

Kristi, our bartendress exhibited professional hospitality, class, and elegance. Kristi made my time with Jack even better. Jack and I will be back soon. (He's cute too).

Thanks to Kristi & the crew at Brunson's Pub for make my date with Jack spectacular. I'm thrilled by this place. Also, it was really cool to learn about the history of this building which is over 100 yrs old. Thanks again and see you soon.

Great food, great people, great spot.

The most I can say about Brunson's is that it's become a second home for us the past few years living in St Paul.

There isn't a bad choice on the menu. We get deviled eggs basically every time we go because they are so good we just can never pass them up.

Their specials are always fantastic, last night got fish and chips and they were completely on point and the homemade tartar was absolutely absurdly delicious.

Everything is delightful here. It's easily one of the best places in St Paul and if you've not been here yet idk what to tell you, put down your phone and go right now!

****10/2/25 UPDATE , Kelly our server was wonderful, and the s'mores dessert parfait was out of this world! 10/10 would recommend!***

Decided to stop by this cute little joint! What a wonderful experience , our server was so energetic and made the dining a pleasant experience. Started off with the appetizer pretzels , so GOOD! Not sure what the seasoning was in these but perfect starter. Got the NO PAYNE no gain hamburger and it was a hit! It was the perfect pairing. 9/10 stars!
