36 Best Bars near Willernie

“Love this place for grabbing a drink and having that small town feel, also very cheap!The only thing that I’ve noticed is that sometimes it feels like the regulars are prioritized.. when I’m standing in line for a drink just to grab two more canned beers.. but it takes almost 10 minutes cause the bartender is chit chatting with everybody at the bar, it felt odd.. but nonetheless, we come here regularly.“

“This restaurant is top notch! From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave you'll experience first class service, friendly smiles, and impeccable food. Apps included Reuben truffles and pot stickers. Both were ok. I had the braised beef with vegetable of the day, linguine and added a scallop. Beef was fork tender and scallop was to die for! Vegetable of the day was your average mixed veg and linguine was so-so; butter cheese sauce was broken and sort of gritty. Another party member had jumbo shrimp with red potatoes and upgraded to grilled asparagus. They were the biggest jumbo shrimp I've ever seen. Dish was given rave reviews. Last guest had the special of the night: blackened halibut with mixed veg and linguine. Halibut was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Dessert included their signature torte and white cake layered with strawberries and cream. Torte was fabulous. Unfortunately the cake was less than sub-par. Overall, this place is a hidden gem in downtown Lake Elmo. Highly recommend. Atmosphere is elegant and classy.“

“Crasqui might be our new fsvorite restaurant!! The menu is so beautifully crafted around memories, I can tell the dishes were thought out with a lot of love. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors were balanced so well. It is priced fairly for the quality. The service was AMAZING and our server Luis made us feel like family. This was a great place to celebrate our anniversary and the staff made it feel very much like a special occasion. My partner has celiac (gluten allergy) and the staff was knowledgeable and they even had a separate frier. Overall, 10/10 experience.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available, staff is knowledgeableParking: Plenty of free parking“

“Amazing live music, fabulous drinks, and the owner Dolly, who is an absolute sweetheart, make for a wonderfully warm and inviting community of people coming together to share their love of music! Love the NOLA vibes too!!! Can't wait to see more shows from some of the Twin Cities legendary artists!“

“Very nice environment. Cool people. Excellent food. Experienced bar tenders. I highly recommend grabbing a friend for a nice experience. If you like playing cribbage don't forget to ask for the board and deck of cards. And come back here and share your experience!!“

“Terrific find in St Paul in the Art Deco St Paul Air Terminal Holman's Table. Lot's of photos of early aviation, a private plane landed and taxi'd up for a lunch meeting. Meals were excellent, the room is a delight over looking Holman Field.“

“We went for dinner with friends and loved the view, atmosphere, and had great service. The drinks for most of us were also excellent. However we all felt that the food and presentation was a three star. So take that into account if you are reading this.I know they are going for the diner/dinette vibe but the shrimp cakes in a cardboard box isn't ideal. The French fries also were good but look like something you would get next door at CHS Field.I had the duck pasta with ricotta cheese and it was a major letdown for me. I should have ordered the burrito. However the menu isn't that large so your options are limited. The pork belly was tasty but had way too much spicy sauce all over it.Will I go back? Honestly it is unlikely. I hope they can improve the food and expand the menu because the location is beautiful and historic. And our server was prompt and took great care of us.“

“A lot bigger than the last time I ate there, like 10 to 15 years ago. Food and service were great, very friendly, clean, our order came pretty quickly, nice decorations, but it was a little loud or noisy. My boyfriend could hear me when I tried talking to him. Had to raise my voice so much that the entire restaurant definitely heard me. Cuz suddenly it went quiet, I never felt that many eyes on me in my entire life. Anxiety overload. My grandson was chilling and relaxed.“

“Amazing food. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and was impressed with the flavor. Not over or under cooked and full of flavor. The restaurant gives you cheese bread and with the main entree, garlic bread. Both prepared and executed perfectly. My co driver order the raspberry cheesecake and said it was amazing. Looked very fancy and gourmet. Also the waitresses are very cute. Excellent environment, service and food. Very recommended and will be back.“

“Great place, good food, weird vibe! The waitress or cook was off. We ordered an appetizer. Our friends ordered a different appetizer after us. Their appetizer arrived. We asked about ours. She told us it will be coming. Our food arrived and we asked again about the appetizer. She seemed confused. The appetizer never arrived and when she brought the bill she said something about never getting the appetizer. The whole exchange was weird. They should also take salads off the menu. That was not available when we were there either.“

“The best place for sitting down. I've sat in so many places where I had a decent time sitting down but Tappers is different. Sitting at Tappers is just better. Sometimes I eat a pizza while sitting at Tappers and it's always amazing. Sometimes I drinks some drinks at Tappers and they make sitting at Tappers even better. I highly recommend sitting at Tappers.“

“Really a great local pub! With all the chain restaurants & bars, Tappers is like coming home. Hang out and swap stories with the locals, enjoy the wide selections of cold beers, both on tap and bottles and enjoy the best pizzas in town. A pub where the friendly staff really does know your name!“

“The service was great And my burger was so juicy... my husband had the Elote wings and they were so good.. the wings were unlike anything I've ever had anywhere. Oh, and don't forget you want chips their chips were so good and get it with a side of their dill sour cream.. or the ranch because the ranch was really good too“

“We ate on the 2nd floor balcony tonight and everything was absolutely amazing! We were greeted the second we walked thru the doors, given advice on the best pace to sit, and our server, Thomas, was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. We ordered the wagyu steak and butternut risotto with blue crab cakes and Caesar salad to start. The food was perfect! The service was incredible, at the atmosphere was homey and romantic at the same time. 10/10 will recommend and we will be back!!“

“It's a wonderful place. Real family atmosphere. Felt just like home and the food was absolutely delicious! Free Thanksgiving dinner for all who had no where to go! Thank you so much!Parking: Large free parking lotKid-friendliness: Many children playing and eating.“

“Came in about 4pm on a Thursday. No one else eating in, and got a happy hour Blood Orange Pryes beer and vegan wrap of some kind. The bright colors and atmosphere is great, and the food was delicious and the guys who helped me out were very friendly. I’ll be back because this is exactly my kind of restaurant.“

“Consistent quality and value at the St. Paul Hotel is guaranteed without the hoopla but more so by the incredible effort of the staff that is effortless. From my early arrival to in-room and venue dining to the daily interactions ~ I am always satisfied.“

“First trip to Little Canada's Porterhouse, and I can say it was perfect. The drinks on point, the appetizers prefect, and the main course of steaks and king crab legs was also perfect. Dessert was also delicious and a great way to cap off a fantastic meal.We've long eaten at the Lakeville location, ( which is close to our house) which has always been excellent, best place in Lakeville to eat, and it's not surprising, but this location held the same exact standards of excellence.Out with a good friend tonight so we skipped pictures.“

“My husband and I came to Stillwater for our anniversary. We luckily found this little dive bar while we were looking for something fun to do. All the restaurants and bars down town didn't really suit us and were packed. They have pool and darts and big screen tvs to watch the games. The bartender was awesome and kept our glasses full despite the fact he had to cover the whole bar by himself. 100% will be going back next time we are in town.“

“Great group of folks here at the VFW. The accomodations here are extensive with a full service lounge upstairs and a large room downstairs for larger gatherings. Great for a wedding reception. There's an elevator that accesses every floor and is handicap accessible. My band plays here and we always are appreciated and have a good time.“

“Nicole was an absolute gem and was so thoughtful throughout our stay. We just moved to the area (and told her this) she made sure to make our service top tier. She poured our martinis in front of us and poured a lowball for the boys at our table. Such a blast!! Happy to come back“

“We came here in a party bus for my son‘s 21st birthday, and I have to say, for the size group we came in with on an already busy night, we were taken such great care of. Peter is the man! Thank you for everything! You guys are definitely capable of quickly serving large amounts of people with ease. I strongly recommend this establishment for any group celebrations!“

“Camp is an overall great bar! From their awesome and attentive servers (Britt, Josh, Nate, Frank, Tim and Brian) to their awesome selection of tap beer and mixed cocktails, darts, pool, trivia and live singing nights to their comedy cabaret next door, they have a little bit of everything (plus Heggies pizza)! The bar is very, VERY LGBTQIA+ friendly, the vibe is chill and it's a great place to hang.“

“This is a great old-school neighborhood bar and grill. I was in here today for the Friday fish special and it did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly and the food portions were on the large side compared to the price. I always love coming into this place for a quick and tasty lunch. Great job!“

“This is a special place for me since only my unique coworkers plus myself visit here frequently!! The owners are very generous to let us blow off some MUCH NEEDED STEAM & Mr. "Warm & Courteous"Bartender( You Know Who) -Thanks for Listening & your Kind Bar Service/Security ;-) :-)“

“This is a great classic style Italian restaurant. The kind of place that brings out bread ? before the meal in this keto friendly world. We really enjoyed our experience. I had the Eggplant ? Parmesan, and the wife had spaghetti ? and meatballs. She ended up with leftovers as the portions are generous. I did not. Highly recommend if you enjoy Italian food.“

“What a great list of local MN tap beers....inside/attached to a theater! Very nice seating and TV in the bar. You can bring the beers to your movie. Excellent service. Christina, the bartender, is a top-notch master-of-service gem. Very knowledgeable beer slinger and lets each guest know when their movie is seating. I'm impressed.“

“A cozy, wood and window bar and grill that is so welcoming, I am charging my power wheel chair in here welcomed to do it by a beautiful and happy waitress. Not a drinker, but bet I get food here in the near future! On corner across from Mears Park who failed my electric access w pad locks! lol. Life is an adventure and its businesses like this that make a crisis, not one. Makes it a warm visit instead. Home town Saint Paul is represented here. Thank you Bulldog!“

“It's a very open bar and they have some TV's to watch sports. They had a band playing the night I was there and it's nice that they have bands. There is room to dance if a band is playing. The food was good, comparable to most bar food. It's wheelchair accessible. They had a cover charge when the band played. Definitely a fun place!“

“Their specials are amazingly low priced (as is their regular menu). Love their Coney Dogs (on special 3 days a week for $8.50 for 2 dogs and fries) and the M-F burger basket for $8. This place is a classic bar, the oldest continuously operating bar in Minnesota I believe. Decor is classic, has a tin ceiling, classic beer signs and the like. It can get really busy at times, super crowded l, as a random Saturday where I went in for Coney Dogs- the place was overflowing with bikers standing all over the place. It can also get really loud- I felt like I probably got hearing damage from the raucous noice levels of the bikers. The place is great overall. Staff is friendly, decent selection of beers mostly focused on people pleasing domestics and some craft beers (they are in the Pub Pass too). Check it out for some tasty bar food, just be aware you may have to change your mind and walk across the street to Mac's if the place is elbow to elbow busy.“

“Best priced drinks I've seen in a long time, friendly local bar with happy patrons and prompt service from bartender. For food I believe they have Heggies pizzas however it appeared the patrons bring in potluck style food to share with everyone. Pulltab's available too. We were not locals and were treated well“

“Have the bull bite appetizer it was amazing. I had the Prime rib med rare. It was Perfectly cooked. The green beans were yummy. My husband had the 5 piece fish fry. He said it was very good. It was busy. We made reservations. Celebrated a friend's birthday thier chocolate cake came with sparklers and a cow bell. Fun and delicious. So good!“

“PSA: this does NOT really have video game arcades. If it's after hours and Starcade is closed, you're not going to find nerdery here. These are not the droids you are looking for.I had had a great date that continued well into close and my date and I were looking for another place to just hang out at. We're both nerds, thought oh hey, Arcade Bar, that's perfect. To it's credit there is a claw machine and a Jurassic Park pinball game it's as much a video game arcade as much as a Perkins lobby.That being said, we did end up staying there until bar close because it had what we were looking for. Drinks, ample seating and a place where we could chat. It's cash only but the drinks are very affordable. It's chill and turned out to be exactly what we needed. Thanks Arcade Bar!“

“This is a great local tavern with a sporty/fun vibe and tasty food. The loaded Brussel sprouts are unbelievable, and the Reuben is actually a chunk of roasted corned beef that brings this tasty sandwich to a whole new level. Cold beer, free popcorn, and a great drink selection are a bonus. Don't hesitate to check this hidden gem out!“

“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.“

“I'm so glad Shadey's is back in action! I don't get over to this part of town enough anymore but knowing Shadey's is going again will definitely have an impact. This is a great, friendly bar with great staff, friendly regulars, and prices that make you say "inflation? What's inflation? Never heard of it." The owner grills burgers on football Sundays. Just a great place, great vibe.“
