This is the coolest place you've ever been to in Saint Paul. Great drinks, friendly staff, amazing atmosphere. Will be coming back to do the escape rooms which looked amazing!!!

Stopped in for a drink. Learned about the place. Drinks are a bit pricey.

It’s not often you can order drinks by the shape of the glass you want to drink out of but you can do that here. The drinks are fun and food is good, if on the lighter side. Flatbreads are a good choice as are the Brusselss sprouts. Beware of the spicy zucchini flatbread if you don’t like spice…it’s not MN spicy ?
Very friendly staff and a great place to hang out with friends and do puzzles together!

Incredibly detailed escape rooms. Clearly a lot of work was put into these. Super fun. Bar had great beer and some cool cocktails. Honestly one of the better escape rooms I’ve been to. Highly recommend!

A super fun mashup of restaurant and escape room! It gave off great fantasy and dnd vibes. My friend and I walked in for dinner not knowing what this place really was! The staff was insanely friendly and really were invested in the establishment! They gave us a tour of the escape rooms— one of which is ADA compliant! Super cool place with super cool people.

We have been here twice now, once for drinks and once for food and drinks.My wife loved the speciality cocktails and we both very much enjoyed the food! The Brussels sprouts, mac & cheese and loaded fries…all different and delicious. And, the service was amazing, the bartenders and kitchen staff all. Highly recommend!

Really warm, and open atmosphere... the staff are super friendly and lovely. The food is simple and good and pricing for normal drinks is decent as well. We play DnD there every Wednesday but the escape rooms look fun!

Incredible! The service is prompt, welcoming and friendly. We had the (s)ham and cheese and chicken sandwich with fries which were surprisingly good - the bread was perfectly toasted yet soft and chewy. The building is gorgeous, being a funeral home previously and they even kept some of the original pews. The organist cove up above was kept intact, and space is smartly decorated with a little bit steampunk, a little bit Lovecraft, a little bit rustic.Dimly lit and cozy, we enjoyed spending a few hours there playing games and enjoying the food and drink. We haven’t yet tried the escape room puzzles, but they look promising and we definitely plan to visit again soon!

Vegetarian options: It’s easy to find vegetarian options on the menu

Parking: There’s a big parking lot across the street designated fir the Lodge

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a separate wheelchair entrance, and the bathrooms are singular and huge, more than enough to fit a wheelchair or mobility aid.
