Saint Paul
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Saint Paul, Minnesota
Saint Paul, Minnesota's capital and F. Scott Fitzgerald's hometown, has a bar scene with real history behind it - during Prohibition and after, the city's so-called O'Connor System let gangsters like John Dillinger lie low here in exchange for staying out of trouble, leaving a legacy of old-school bars and hideouts. BarFinder lists 78 venues today, led by classic bars with a strong brewery and sports bar presence, including real local spots like Louie's Bar and The Glockenspiel. It's a capital city with a scene that leans classic and neighborhood-driven over flashy.
