10 Best Wine Bars in Saint Paul

“Great service and food!!!!“

“We stumbled onto this place by picking it at random from google. We sat at the bar and had great recommendations from the servers / mixologists. We had a very enjoyable meal. Highly recommend finishing the meal with a fresh baked cookie 😀“

“We had a fantastic date night at Joan’s! Highly recommend! The food was incredible. Perfect pacing, portions, wine pairings, and the flavors have you closing your eyes to experience each bite. One of the best meals we have ever had. Our server was thoughtful and friendly. Great dining atmosphere. We will be back!“

“We went here 6 years ago and enjoyed the food. Came back in February 2025, right before it was scheduled to close, and the food was pretty bad. Not sure if the quality digressed or our personal standards increased. Either way, sad it’s gone but the food wasn’t anything that will be missed.“

“We had an early morning flight and Josh was so helpful! He made our bagels quickly to go and gave me plenty of cream cheese and napkins. They were a fair price too, much cheaper than the bagels I bought at RSW on our way to Msp. Thanks so much!!“

“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.“

“If youre standing in line for Subway, remember you can have corporate food anywhere. Instead try Vino Volo and regret nothing. The prices are excellent for quality of eating expierence. The salads and sandwiches are unequivicle. This place is a GEM at gate H.“

“It was awesome! The service was great! Staff went out of their way to accommodate all 11 of us! Everyone that works there seemed happy and ready to help! I graded a 4 on food..only because out of PERSONAL preference I didn't like my food, BUT someone else at our table had the same thing and LOVED IT! And a 3 for atmosphere because it was a bit loud and hard to visit ..but again that's a personal preference...Would we go back?MOST DEFINITELY“

“I lo e the whole atmosphere and the team members where so awesome. it was me and my son first time there and we will definitely be regulars“

“I don’t usually spend much time or money at airport bars, and this one isn’t much to look at. HOWEVER, if your layover has you at MSP International, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR! Sit down at this funky, bisected little family-operated bar/restaurant. The prices are low, the drinks are strong, and the staff… I’ll get back to them.

The food is affordable and elevated. This little place is punching way above its weight. As for the staff, I’ve never felt more cared for. Airport bartenders are not necessarily known for their interpersonal amiability; however, Lindsay, my server and bartender, was truly attentive to all my silly quips. She even suggested pairing my meal with tomato soup.

The tomato soup was fantastic, as was the cheese sandwich. But the real gem was the burrata salad. It featured very fresh arugula, freshly sliced cherry tomatoes, fire-roasted sweet peppers with balsamic glaze, and a fist-sized portion of the freshest mozzarella I’ve ever had in my life.

I don’t typically pull out my phone to review airport bars, but this place is really something else!“
