The White Squirrel Bar

THE WHITE SQUIRREL BAR: A HAIKU Funky tunes, fun pals.Distilled dive bar on the rocks,Kevin's hideaway*THC/CBD friendly

Mind you...I'm writing this review after only 15 minutes here. I start with 5 stars and so nothing to disappoint me yet. I ordered an Aviation, bartender hadn't made one in 3 years...but pulled it off. Thank you. The venue is small, cozy, good vibe...welcoming. My drink is good.

Cozy and friendly staff. The bartender was able to make a drink that wasn't on the menu for us. Live music sometimes. I'd come back.

Solid neighborhood bar in the West 7th neighborhood of St. Paul. I'm from out of town, but my sister lives a few blocks away and tells me the bar is named after an albino squirrel named Kevin that lives in the neighborhood. Sounds legit. Or she's just messing with her little brother. Who's to say? We came with a small group on a Sunday night and sat at the booth by the window. I asked the bartender what local beers they had and he said everything on tap was local, and let me try a beer made right up the road. I love a local bar that supports local breweries. It was incredibly pleasant sitting in the booth in the small space. The other side of the bar has a small stage for live music and I can imagine it would be even better watching a live show here. Cozy atmosphere, super friendly bartender, great drinks, space for live music... bars don't get much better than this.

White Squirrel is a cozy space with a really cool aesthetic. There are typically live bands on weekends, which is a ton of fun. The booths are set up so that you can typically still have a conversation, even when a band is playing on stage. They have a wide selection of drinks; the cocktails are really tasty, they have a bunch of THC seltzers to choose from, and plenty of beers on tap. Last time we were there, I had a THC seltzer and didn't want to mix, so I tried their N/A cocktail. It was refreshing and not too sweet, kind of like a medicine ball tea or a hot toddy (obviously without the whiskey flavor). The bartenders have always been helpful and kind, even when the bar is packed. Overall, this place is one of my favorites.

I don't often drink in South Saint Paul... but when I do, it will now be at the White Squirrel. Ended up at this place on the suggestion of a date, and I'm in love... with this bar! From the outside, it looks total dive, and the vibe inside is dive bar, but dive bar gone upscale, and with two major selling points. First off, all the beers are local to MN, and they're good beers. I don't even think they have Hamm's or Grain Belt, though probably they do and it's just hiding. Second, there's a whole genuinely good cocktail menu, including at least two barrel aged options... and they're $10 each instead of the $15 you'd get asked for at a froufrou place! There's no food besides chips, and it's dark inside. This is a place to drink and maybe listen to live music, the end. But it's great for that, and I'll totally bring friends here.

Stopped in Saturday afternoon to catch a live gig. What a cute and cozy venue! There was bar seating, a few booths, some small tables then there was more seating closer to the stage! Bartender Chris was absolutely delightful ....and confirmed my initial notion when I saw him!! The White Squirel is one of three bars the owner has, another one is Amsterdam... where I had met Chris in July! There are two bathrooms, right across from the bar, between the two side doors. I think the bar did a great job w acoustics! Two little kids walked out covering their ears but adults didn't mind. White Squirrel has such a comfy neighborhood bar feeling and I quite enjoyed the couple that found a little room to dance!It got a little busier as the bands played but not uncomfortably crowded. There is a small parking lot so if it's busy you're looking at street parking, which is ample. Thanks White Squirrel for a wonderful afternoon of live music while I met up w old friends and chatted up your friendly bartender... certainly planning to make you a regular stop.

We decided to go here last minute for a local ska show last night. It is a very small venue, however we were able to get a bar spot and it was a blast seeing the bartenders working their magic. They were very good at making signature drinks and we very fast at what they did and added some spark with the way they made every drink. The sound system was good for the concert, but I would have preferred a larger area for standing room. I'm not too sure about a parking lot, but was able to find street parking that was free after 6pm. The outdoor patio was great, however the food truck had a very large generator that made a lot of noise. We spent our time mostly inside so didn't affect us too much.

Delicious and service people friendly customer service. Excellent the area beautiful. I still keep coming back and I brain, family and friends five stars

Cozy and cool vibe. Great alcoholic and non choices. Elevated stage is great to see the entertainment. (The em's ROCK the place!!)
