22 Best Cocktail Bars in Saint Paul

“Great service and food!!!!“

“Bar+Cart offers a top-notch dining experience with a vibe that is unmatched in MSP, excellent food, and amazing cocktails. The attentive staff and warm hospitality make it perfect for any occasion. Highly recommended!“

“Wow! Like stepping into an elegant dream. I don't normally like lobster, but I could down those lobster deviled eggs all day! Be sure to order a Fitzgerald and plan on spending some time here just taking it all in.“

“Had a very nice meal at Herbst with friends from out of town. We enjoyed the beautiful space and thoughtful menu. The cocktail options were especially great, with categories for style of drink and full, low, and zero proof options within each.
A few misses on the menu and a fairly slow service were the only small things that took away from the overall experience. Looking forward to coming back for another visit.“

“Classy and sophisticated setting with interesting and intricate cocktails, made from scratch food and excellent service!“

“Place has potential. Food is definitely solid. Not going to blow you away but it’s good. Smash burger could use more seasoning but loved the onions and meat skirt. Dry rub wings were lacking in flavor, needed a lot more seasoning. My friend got the Buffalo wings and loved the sauce on those. No home made ranch which is disappointing. Cheese curds are a small portion and are just frozen not hand breaded. Drinks are pretty spendy if you are not there for happy hour. Great spot before a wild game or other Xcel events but parking isn’t ideal and food isn’t good enough to seek out any other night. Place was dead on a Friday night.“

“I was at your restaurant on Sunday with two of my friends. We were talking about how I was going through a hard time and our server, Julie H., was near our table and she just reached over and gave me a hug. No words, just a sweet hug which absolutely made my day. I don't normally write reviews, but I really wanted to let Julie H. know how much that small gesture meant to me. Thank you Julie! :)“

“What a great setting for the first meeting of our food review group. Attentive service, great cocktails, and decent food, all in a beautiful lounge-y intimate setting. Staff could not be more perfect.“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“The brisket was outstanding! It practically melts in your mouth.“

“karaoke every Thursday at 8:30 p.m.“

“We just got home from having dinner at Potsticker. It was hands down the best Asian food I have had in the Twin Cities. The spicy cucumbers were perfection, and the potsticker sampler was amazing. Excellent and friendly service, and literally everything we ordered was out of this world!“

“Greeted upon arrival and served with the utmost professionalism and care. The food?! Oh my goodness, please try the wings! We had Caribbean Jerk and Korean BBQ and they were dynamite. Based on the rest of our food- which was SO good, I’m sure the other wings will not disappoint either! Pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. Will be returning to try more items on the menu!“

“This is the best live music venue in Saint Paul. They do not have a food menu, but if you want some snacks they can help you out. The patio is pet friendly and an awesome tucked away space with huge pine trees and a fire pit. If you want live music this is the place with having multiple shows on many nights. The early shows are even on weekdays and from 6-8 pm. You don't have to stay up late to enjoy the live music scene.“

“Cheerful and professional service from Sydney. Great artichoke dip and nice smooth lattes. The hibiscus orange tart has great flavor, but a little odd in texture for me. A wonderful option within walking distance of the XCel and Science Museum.“

“Amazing service, excellent food and what they have done with the space is phenomenal. You are truly missing out if you do not experience this amazing restaurant!“

“Food was amazing servers was great and management was very friendly! Will definitely be back“

“The best nachos in town! Great place to watch the Vikings! La cucaracha has been a staple for St. Paul for a long time. Eddy is so welcoming and always a good time. The staff is always on point. Great place to get authentic Mexican food.“

“It was amazing! Our sushi chef was Malachi and he was outstanding! Very friendly, great suggestions and the best sushi I have had in a long time!!“

“Great food, nice atmosphere and nice people! Go try their food & I will recommend to go there.“

“It’s a nice sit down venue in the MSP airport. Good spacing between tables so it’s easy to navigate with luggage. The food is decent and portions generous. Nothing to complain about. Nothing to write home about either. Prices are average for airport fare - not over the top. I got a cheeseburger with fries. My server was friendly and professional. I would not eat here if I was in a hurry, but it is otherwise a nice place to hang out while waiting for a flight. Seats are comfortable. TVs mounted to the ceiling featured various sport related shows. If I find myself headed to the A concourse around meal time again, I will likely stop in.

Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian offerings on the menu.“
