36 Best Pubs near West Saint Paul

“We watched Man vs Food, years ago, and knew we wanted to visit if possible. Access to the 5-8 Club is super easy, the service was excellent, the Classic Burger was awesome. Great experience!“

“Great spot! Casual. Yummy food. Lots of parking. Pricey, as are all places now. Went with a friend. We had 5 drinks between us, two of which were on tap, two appetizers, and one burger. $100. That's the bad news. The good news is that our server (Sally?) Was great. Food was delicious. We had a comfortable booth and we're able to talk privately enough. It is a little loud, fyi. Several tvs.“

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

“Friendly community gathering spot. Pub sings, jam sessions, and gatherings of morris dancers are why I end up here, that they are at Merlins because Merlins has always been enormously welcoming. It's our community home.“

“Had many more dishes on the iron range“

“Today, they had a Bloody Mary with special toppings. My fav! It’s not a regular thing but they have different things going on so it’s nice to stop by and check it out. They have the wheel and pull tabs. Ohhh…darts too. It’s a cash only bar so make sure you bring cash. Love the bartender, Rachel.“

“The Gnome has great food and excellent service.“

“Skinner's did an amazing job catering our U of M Employee Appreciation event...EVERYONE was Happy. Thank you!“

“Amazing food!! We met the owners, and they are so sweet. Everything we ordered was INCREDIBLE!!! Wings, Brussels sprouts, deviled eggs, fish and chips, tacos and a hamburger!! I can’t forget the crème brûlée!! We will be back! Thank you Molly and Thomas!!“

“i haven't tried the food so i can't say. but i got in a disagreement with the bartender this evening, and said that i was leaving, i'm a hair short of six feet and 250 pounds and i'm loud, usually unintentionally, and people always think i'm angry. So i'm sure the bartender took it that way. so he instantly gave my card back and said no need to sign i'm good to go. very friendly about it too. this was after an evening of exemplary service from him, but he didn't give me a chance to tip since we were disagreeing. what and excellent and principled thing to do. i like this bartender and can't wait to go back, also i did insist on tipping.“

“I love this place! I had excellent service and was treated so well by the staff- especially Sarah and Maddie. The food is great. Drinks are always good but it’s the service and the people that really make this place nice to come to. Sarah always goes out of her way to make sure my daughter and I are happy. Maddie is the best server I’ve ever had!
Keep up the great work, ladies!“

“Due to unfortunate circumstances (father had a stroke) I found myself downtown dropped off with no car and I was starving! Being so close to the hospital/hotel was great, and the food was amazing! I had a Ruben with fries.. everything was piping hot. The service was excellent. It gave me time to sit and admire the atmosphere. Just what I needed to recharge.“

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

“Stopped in for a cocktail after eating at Russell's they are connected..just a few steps thru the kitchen 😄. My 2nd time there. Super nice Employees! I had a body chill. besides a hot toddy what was there, all we came up with was a warm brandy. She was creative and rolled the glass of brandy in extremely hot water to warm it. Being a great pour it cooled off, she asked to re-warm it..she was looking out for me❣A++“

“Amazing owners and staff! Our hockey team needed a place to have a holiday party and not only was McCarrons accommodating, the food and service was amazing!“

“Terrific place. I just moved into this neighborhood a month ago and I've already been here maybe a half dozen times. Love the atmosphere and the people not to mention the amazing burgers and chicken wings. Everything I want in a neighborhood joint and more. I'll be back again for sure.“

“We just by chance Googled this place and thought we'd give it a try. Wow! Totally surprised at how good the food was and the portions. Chloe was our server and what a sweet girl she is. Smiling and very polite. Give this place a try it's worth it.“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

“I ordered the salad, side of fries and burrata with tomatoes appetizer. Fries were great, though cooled off quickly. Salad was fresh but for such a basic side salad, not at all worth it. The burrata was generous in the cheese serving. Just a small number of tomatoes and enough bread to get through half the cheese. Not necessarily a bad thing to be generous on cheese, but I'd plan to order extra bread (I ordered a side of pita). A very filling dinner.Service was great, as was the atmosphere.I ate here as I was staying here. Great option in that case, but wouldn't visit just for the food.“

“Love to go to Crooked Pint with my friends to watch the Vikings games. They are very friendly and we always have Kayla, great waitress, waiting on us. Love the door prizes too.“

“Great spot! Good food, Fun Atmosphere on the water. Lots of fun events and music BEST PEOPLE!“

“Bar feel but clean inside. The server was great even though he had the whole restaurant by himself. The food came out quickly and it was very good. We got a std cheese burger with homemade fries (the highlight), Mount Blucuvious Blucy, Cobb Salad and Hella Totchos. Would definitely go back.“

“Sweeney's was fantastic for hosting our large event. Their Oak Room space was perfect for a group of 120ish people, event staff were extremely helpful in setting up food, drinks, and fun for our guests and took great care of us the night of. Highly recommend as both a neighborhood bar, and as a place to host an event of any size.“

“Great food, nice bar, reminded us of home“

“Our favorite pub in Como Park to enjoy a delicious cheeseburger with fries, cheese curds and the coldest beer in Saint Paul. Beautiful view of the golf course and Como Lake. Patio seating or indoor tables. You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy this!“

“Maybe another startup with great coffee ! 🙂😊“

“Came from out of town. Hotel staff suggested this bar for us to visit. CANT RECOMMEND MORE!! We didn’t have food, but came during Homecoming weekend (unbeknownst to us). Bar was busy but staff was cool as cucumbers. A server (Grace) got our order(because I bumrushed her tbh) on the way to the back of the bar, we paid out right away and as good fortune would have it a table nearby opened. We closed with Grace (AN ANGEL) and sat in Sophia’s section. HOLY SMOKES! The hospitality was unreal. Give these girls a raise. I’ll be coming back to town and EXCLUSIVELY visiting them“

“Great drinks and food, really cool building!

Only complaint is service was a bit slow, there was clearly only one server working at the time and she was running around like crazy dealing with every table while the 2 or 3 bartenders were standing on their phones lol. Maybe have less bartenders and more servers to balance out the workload.

That being said, our server (light blonde haired girl, I can’t remember her name?) was fantastic!!! Super kind, funny and helpful. Next time we’re in the area, we’ll be coming back for those nachos & long islands!“

“if you are using your airport to promote your region, it goes without saying you'd showcase your great musical talent. This place is great!“

“Love the new space. Digital signage said burgers were $3 on Wednesdays. They were $4. Still tasty and a great deal, but update your sign. I sat for 10 minutes and watched the server take a picture of people at a table and chat with her friends. Never came near my high top table. I finally went to the bartender (very nice) who took my drink and food order. Server swung by 10 minutes later (20 minutes after I sat down). Told her I ordered from the bartender. She never stopped by after that. I was there for 45 minutes, saw her interact with her tables twice. Service was pretty scarce. 2 or 3 staff sitting in a booth. If the bartender hadn't been awesome, I would have left. Burger and onion rings were good.“
