14 Best Dive Bars near Saint Paul

“Great music in an old school club.“

“Dive bar atmosphere country environment“

“We came here with the promise of some great Coneys, and we were not disappointed. Yeah the place is a bit of a dive, but that definitely adds to the charm. The apps we had (fried mushrooms and mozzarella sticks) were delicious, but those Coneys... OH MY GOD!!! Absolutely delicious! I had 2 but I could've easily downed 2 more. So good, and what was especially impressive that every one of the 5 total that we had looked exactly the same. The consistency of the cook is often overlooked at other places, but not here. Top notch! Also, our bartender Jade (sp?) was super friendly and always on top of anything we needed. Very funny too. A little bit of humorous commentary made for an even better experience.

As I said, the Coneys are to die for, but I would also recommend the Reuben egg roll. I got one after I was finished with the dogs, and it was absolutely amazing!

Gopher Bar is definitely the place to check out if you are a Coney Dog fan. And if you're not, there's plenty of other options to try that all looked incredible when I scanned the menu. Also, and this is yet another reason to choose The Gopher, the prices are very cheap. I wouldn't have expected to get full for under $20 anywhere these days, but they certainly did it! I'm actually getting hungry again just typing this! 😅

FYI, cash only. They do have an ATM though. 👍“

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

“Great flavor in the burger, nice waiter, unique place. Eat downstairs, you'll love it.“

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

“My first time here. It’s a tiny little local bar. They keep their old tradition as cash only, which the bartender explained, even though card option would’ve been nice since the atm and my bank both will charge fees withdrawing cash. Found out the hard way, but you have the option to leave if you don’t like it , no one is forcing you stay. bartender is a nice guy and made me feel welcome.“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“The Country Lounge has cheap drinks and they make a great Bloody Mary! They have pull tabs, a pool table, and a TouchTunes player. It’s definitely a dive bar, but it’s always a lot of fun! You can order Heggie’s pizza here, which are pretty tasty.“

“Best cheese curds ever!!! Why bother with state fair?“

“Great food friendly staff“

“Old school local experience. Keep it alive“

“Cool Hide Away... Friendly Staff...“

“The atmosphere is low key and friendly. The menu is relatively short but all our food was good. Service was fast, and we liked our server he did a nice job keeping up with our table. It felt like a good neighborhood bar. We’ll be back for sure.“
