“The food and fun atmosphere is wonderful. Tom Reid is a stand-up fixture here too! You will not be disappointed by the drink choices and the food is great.Kid-friendliness: Our hockey kids enjoyed all of the memorabilia and food.Wheelchair accessibility: All one level and bathrooms.“
“Cannot say enough good things about our experience at Zambonis on 7th!! Stopped in Friday and camped out and ate and loved the entire experience! We attempted to give wild bills our business Saturday night, and after awful service we left and returned to zambonis! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are everything you would want from a local bar/restaurant! Ps...ask for Gus! He is hilarious!“
“A group of 30 of us came in for brunch on Saint Patrick's Day (we did have reservations), and even though they were ridiculously busy, we found easy parking and were greeted with friendly smiles from the energetic staff. They patiently took our orders and didn't even flinch when we needed them separated. Every staff member was great! Our food came out promptly and tasted delicious, and we all left happy with full bellies, ready for the day. It's rare to find such genuine, good places nowadays, but this one of them for sure!“
“This is a fantastic pub! The food is delicious, the service is great, and the atmosphere is awesome! Definitely stop by and give this place a try!!Kid-friendliness: My friend and I take his 3 kids here once or twice a month. The kids loved the popcorn and root beer. Everyone whether sitting at the bar or restaurant is super friendly towards the kids and they always smile at them. At the end of our time there they give the kid’s little dum dum suckers too.“
“Well managed, serviced and staffed. Lots of seating in 3 rooms, 2 bars. Excellent Daily food and beverage specials. Live music. Breakfast. Irish ☘️ specialties. Fantastic corned beef and cabbage platter for Saint Patrick’s Day Weekend. Woman owed, staff and managed.“
“Came for Friday fish fry (available during Lent). Definitely recommend reservations- this place was packed! The battered pollock was tasty and filling. Accompaniments are coleslaw and fries. Food comes out faster than anywhere I've seen. Good selection of beer on tap.“
“I've gone here a few times in my life living in the neighborhood down the street from this place. It's been several names but now it's Cheer's Pub after the latest ownership change. They run a decent bar, seem to keep tabs on the patrons and it's a decent hangout. It's a typical neighborhood bar with a lot of regulars, cheap drinks, pull tabs, plus some stuff good...football nights, live music with local cover bands and some homegrown musicians, and Karaoke nights. The food here with the new owners is actually pretty damn good for a bar. I've ate here a couple times and I'd go back for those times I'm peckish and don't want to make anything myself (and they make a good drink). Simple menu: French fries, Mozzarella sticks, Jalapeño poppers, Hot dog, Slaw dog, Polish dog, Burger, Cheeseburger, Chicken drummies/sandwich/tenders, Catfish nuggets, Corned beef or Turkey sandwich.This time around I had the slaw dog (see pic) and it was a good take on a Chicago but with slaw...it's a beaut and tastes great, plus the fresh cut fries were the bomb.“
“Visit a couple times a year. Every thanksgiving a group of us play football in the am and head to Vogels to start the festivities. We invade and the bartender shows appreciation that we chose his bar. Pitchers of beer flowing and pizzas for about 25 people. Always a fun time.“
“If you are on the downtown NSP strip, you should stop in and check this bar out. It definitely has an old school feel and you can tell it has been around since the start. The bartender was very friendly and everyone in this place is a local and seated around the bar. Very affordable drinks and they have great music, pulltabs, dartboards and a lot of seating. They also have a back patio area to hang outside.“
“Our kitchen is open. We focus on serving high quality, freshly made to order bar food, with a twist. We offer food specials as well as surprise Gourmet chef specials. We have awesome Bloody Mary's one of the best I've had. We offer drink specials 2 4 1s on domestic beer and premium rails. Our neighborhood is being revamped which is awesome for the bar and community. So if your looking for a cool neighborhood dive bar with awesome staff and great food come Check out The Saint Paul Saloon. P.s The owner is on site and loves to interact with the patrons of the bar.“
“We’ve had 2 pregames here and had excellent food and service both times. Their fried pickle chips are awesome, wings great even sauceless (got dipping sauces on side), walleye fries were great, the only thing we were so so on were the nachos. Fake cheese was blah but otherwise all good! Service excellent, drinks cold.“
“I happened to find this place when my son had to have emergency surgery...first off, very friendly staff and regulars, could see the stress on my face and were so kind! But the best part, hands down, which is why I'm leaving this review 3 years later is bc Bob's steak sandwich (should be Bob's FAMOUS steak sandwich) was THE F’N BEST sandwich my son and I have ever had - to date! If fact, 3 years later and my son is still talking about Bob's steak sandwich being the best food he's ever eaten! So much so that for his birthday in a few weeks, he doesn't want a party or gifts, just to take a trip to the cities for his favorite dinner!“
“This place may jus have a bad rep but if the crowd can stay 35+ like Hergies usta be , it's going to be alright. They pour good dranks with normal prices and the ? music good. They gotta kitchen now just have had at it yet..to be continued...???“
“This West Side Sports Bar & Grill was a treat! The food was delicious and the service was friendly and accommodating. We were a party of 6. I had street tacos ala carte. My niece ordered the Menudo and said it was perfect. We also ordered guacamole, queso and chips for the whole table and that made a great appetizer for the whole table. The chips are made fresh and sprinkled with chili-lime salt... Yum! The guacamole was delicious considering it's mid-March in MN! The Horchata was refreshing and cool and was made 'from scratch' - not a mix. I didn't try the marguerita but it was huge and was happily shared around the table. There were 4 screens playing different sports, including futball and women's college softball. The music was recorded - it was lively and loud ... mostly Mariachi (and Mexican rock?).Parking: Not sure if the street parking is free during the day. We went on Sunday evening and both cars found parking easily. The lot surface is bumpy, so I'm not sure how a wheelchair would do. It is on the first floor - no steps at the entrance. One of us used a rolling walker and was easily able to navigate the front door, but I'm not sure if the door is wide enough for a motorized wheelchair.“
“It's surprisingly large. Even if the lot looks full, chances are good that you can get a table immediately. Service is always good, and they've got great specials. Especially happy hour! It's a great place to grab a burger or a couple tacos, and their chili is awesome. The biggest surprise was the salads, though. I didn't expect them to be that good at a bar & grill type place. If you're in the area, you should definitely check out the hoggsbreath. You won't be disappointed!“
“Station 280 is simply a great bar. The staff are friendly, honest, attentive, and personable. Whether visiting with a large or small group, or by yourself, there has never a moment where I have been left wondering where the server was. I love the variety of people here, the sort of place where you can get a drink with your boss without feeling too old for the college crowd, or like an outsider due to a mix of blue and white collar professionals as patrons. An extra long bar with plenty of seats, larger serving area that can accommodate a bigger group outing if needed, as well as a few booths/tables provide a great variety of experiences depending on your preference. Parking isn't well marked, but generally you won't be too far from the entry. Bar can be a bit loud inside, but I feel like it reflects more that the customers are enjoying themselves more than anything. I really think Station 280 has something to offer for everyone and would highly recommend for anyone to check it out.“
“It was really busy, but our server, Savanna, was wonderful. She gave drink and food suggestions. She made sure she got our order in before Happy Hour ended. The food was quick and fresh. The place was clean and well maintained. The manager delivered our food and she was so kind. We highly recommend it, and we will be back.“
“A classic Saint Paul neighborhood bar, with simple grub yet so affordable, a mix of Asian and American. All served as takeaway but you can eat it there if you want and the portions are gigantic. There's bingo two nights a week, a Friday afternoon meat raffle, and pulltabs/etabs. Locals are the majority of the clientele but for all its grittiness, it's a safe place with patrons who care about the establishment! Watch out for the parking lot. It's a dirt lot minefield of potholes that will destroy your transmission of you go faster than 1 mph.“
“What a wonderful creation this place is! Every detail is stunning — the food tastes delicious and is presented so artfully. The space is gorgeously designed, with huge colorful painted walls murals. Cultural authenticity and creative expressivity are beautifully balanced in the unique restaurant RAS. I love it!“
“I highly recommend this place to dine and sit!!! Brandi was phenomenal!!! She answered all of our questions quickly, and her choices of food were on point!!! If we lived closer we would come back just to be in Brandi 's section again!!! Great job everyone!!!“
“It was odd that you have to show ID and they digitally take your picture before you can come in. It was loud, as expected, and lots of video games steins. The server was very helpful and nice, and the chicken wild rice soup was good. A bit disturbing was the very loud crashing of the monster Jenna puzzle when it fell a few times. I went there after playing a hockey game at Pleasant arena. I have another game there this weekend, and I’ll go back to the St. Paul tsp and have a juicy Lucy. A teammate had it and said it was very good.“
“I enjoy the atmosphere whenever I visit. The waitresses are always so friendly. I was with a team of people (my job met there) last night (4/1/24), we had to flag a waitress down to take our order for food and drinks outside of the many appetizers my boss ordered. That's not usually the case though. Once someone came, she was wonderful. I don't come to this establishment too often anymore due to me no longer working in the area, but whenever it's an option, I am always a fan. The broasted chicken and au gratin potato are the absolute best. Thank me later.“
