50 Best Bars near St Anthony

“Terrific food plus excellent service!“

“We loved our dinner here - generous portions and affordable prices for a night out. Wine list was thoughtfully curated and well priced too. The Jell-O shots were such a fun touch! Especially loved the Goodbye Earl cocktail. We had a number of outstanding dishes. The overall winner was the steak tartare but the grilled prawns and scallops were wonderful as well.“

“Milly’s is an absolute gem in Minneapolis! The wine selection is impressive, with a great variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options that catered perfectly to our group. The food, especially the charcuterie boards, was delicious and beautifully presented. Don’t miss out on the French onion soup! Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. A special shoutout to Timothy, the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect pairings for our meal. And the owner, Brandon, was so welcoming and personable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“Classic Nordeast bar…not many left“

“A True neighborhood staple.

You ever step into a place that somehow feels like home, even though you’ve never set foot in the state before? That’s exactly how I felt walking into Gopher Bar.

The original wood interior and walls packed with memorabilia make it clear this isn’t just a bar—it’s a living piece of St. Paul history. It feels worn in, but in all the right ways… like generations have laughed, argued, celebrated, and made memories here.

While I was sitting at the bar, I heard an older couple behind me reminiscing about coming here when they were college kids. That says everything. This place has been a cornerstone of the community for decades, and you can feel it the moment you walk in.

It’s authentic. No pretense. Just a damn good neighborhood bar with roots.

If you want a true St. Paul experience, skip the trendy spots and head to Gopher Bar. You’ll understand why locals keep coming back.“

“Chill vibe, great drinks, cozy atmosphere“

“Cool place! 🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“Great Live Music @ Mikkel Bee Presents👍🥳🥳“

“Great venue! Had free water which NEVER happens at venues. Good sound and service. Will be back for sure! 5/5 stars!“

“They have some of the best wins, they have remodeled lanes, they do have a nice bar and restaurant and the service is always awesome. parking lot with handicap ♿ entrance, good 🍕 pizzas, good burgers 🍔, a devoted variety of beers 🍻.“

“A great area for dogs of all sizes to run outdoors, attentive staff to manage any pup issues, a great menu, and great drinks! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening with friends and your dogs without worrying about keeping your dog on your heels. There is also an indoor area for rainy or snowy days.“

“Just went here for drinks and small plates and really enjoyed it! I will say it's a lot darker irl than in the photos, so I'd suggest sitting at a booth or at the bar. Those spaces appeared to have more candles n lights. Also, the door is in the back of the building, don't go through Porzana. I had a couple drinks, empanadas, and dessert. Everything was tasty. Yes it's a spendy place, but I feel like you do get what you pay for. Will definitely come back to celebrate some occasion soon.“

“Recently held my birthday party in the upstairs! The venue was great and affordable compared to other options in the area. The upstairs held 30 people comfortably and enough room to mingle! The staff was fantastic super respondent to all questions before hand and very flexible! The food options were also very reasonably priced and the food was delicious and received lots of compliments! If you are looking to host an event highly recommend Beckett’s!“

“three music venues, food, drinks. Great old time unpretentious atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“Great food, amazing staff, fun atmosphere!“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“I have tried just about everything on the menu at Bina's. The Bina Burger (Smashburger) is a two patty wagon burger....SOOOOO YUMNY. The Tendiemelt is enough for two people to share. And the Grilled Cheese has 5 chesses/spreads and pairs perfectly with the tomato soup. stop in and give your opinion.“

“Absolutely fantastic speakeasy style pub, it really feels like it has old bones. The music was fantastic and its a very intimate and we look forward to heading back when we visit next year. The food upstairs and Lucky's was pretty good as well.“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“I meet some guys here once a month and the beer is cold, the vibe is consistent, the g&ts are strong and the burger and tots are delicious. Make sure to ask for Mary’s secret bbq sauce. Great value. Pool table and golden tee machine on premises too!“

“Loved the space, great band (The Comebacks), and the craft cocktails are awesome. Don't miss the drink called Hot Dog Water. It's great!
It would be nice if they offered even bar snacks, chips, a Heggies ..something. But it's great either way!“

“small town bar atmosphere. great drinks, nice people.“

“They got special deals every day of the week. And they give you some free tokens on your birthday week. 30 to 40 arcade games and 10 pinball machines, a few skee ball Machines. Not expensive at all. Me and my GF had tokens left over after 2 hours. Good time“

“Check out the Saturday afternoon specials in the bar.“

““Small Hour” is a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of Minneapolis, and I finally had the chance to visit after meaning to stop by for quite some time. That evening felt extra special — my friend was performing music, so it almost felt like an invited night out, and I went with my girlfriend and another close friend.

Unlike many wine bars in the Twin Cities, this one felt much more casual and approachable. You don’t feel the pressure to dress up — it’s the kind of place where you can come to unwind, share a good bottle, and enjoy the moment. We ordered a bottle of rosé wine, which was well-chosen and perfectly chilled. The wine selection overall was thoughtful and balanced, with options for both casual drinkers and those who appreciate something unique.

The food was simple but satisfying, complementing the wines nicely without overcomplicating things. The whole experience felt minimalist and modern, allowing us to focus more on conversation and atmosphere than on pretense. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t try too hard — and that’s exactly what makes it charming.

Here, you order at the counter — it’s self-service, and the staff doesn’t hover over you, which actually gave us the space to talk and relax comfortably. The owner had a warm, genuine smile, and you could tell they care about creating a space that feels both local and intentional.

It wasn’t too crowded when we visited, but the vibe was cozy, stylish, and quietly vibrant — perfect for a low-key evening with friends or a special date night. I wouldn’t call it an everyday stop, but for the right occasion or a meaningful meeting, Small Hour is absolutely worth the visit.

I love seeing more places like this opening in Minneapolis — a modern, minimalist wine bar with heart, soul, and a sense of calm sophistication.“

“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“Killer joint. Ne classic darts 🎯“

“One of the top places in Minneapolis!!!“

“Just leanred about the Truth bar at Natural Products #expoeast. This is a great bar. I am wowed by the Ingredients with a Purpose theme. Prebiotic and Probiotic is brilliant. The ingredients are very healthy and taste great.The only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is information pending about the sourcing of the cacao and coconut to see if it is fair trade and organic which would help justify the pricing and set it above most bars of a similar type.“

“It was a nice place to learn a new craft. Service was excellent and they are helpful. Large selection to choose from. They only have flatbreads to order and I was not impressed. You can order food from nearby but I do wish they had a few other options for purchase.“

“Amazing food, drinks & service!“

“Me and my beautiful daughter have went out clubbing and then came over here to the palace where my son is a bouncer security The drinks the atmosphere then ran into people that we known for over 15 years plus it was just a good vibe it's like the new Gabby's if a lot of people from Minnesota can relate back in the days Gabby's sharks it's it's the new one but for now hey I enjoyed it“

“Best bartenders ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“This has become a favorite happy hour hang out. Great value and the best bartenders. Kendrick is amazing.“

“This place is legit top restaurants in msp, why??? Because they have talent and imagination. Any one can buy great ingredients and high end products, but can you make sidewalk grass , spruce pine , lingcod , wildrice and strawberry taste good ?(Not a real dish just something off top of my head) That's talented and worth talking about , the folks here have talent. And if your looking for adventure of the palette look no further.“

“Best hidden secret in NE. Friendly staff and a nice little patio. Bring cash because they won't swipe credit cards“
