The Most Flavorful Brewpubs in Saint Paul

We've travelled to almost every southern state and ate our way through their best BBQ along the way. This place most closely resembles the quality & technique of the southern states, with a northern twist. They are doing BBQ their way! We ordered the Alabama white sauce wings, and a platter. We also tried quite a few of their beers, including the award-winning Doppelbock. All of them were fantastic and no matter what your preferred style, I think you'll enjoy it! Everything was fall off the bone, extra saucy and tangy. Well developed flavors overall. When the meat is cooked right, it makes it easier to enjoy and experience their unique flavors. Although the wings are named "Alabama" white sauce, the flavor just makes sense in mayo and ranch loving MN! LOL. Creamy, unique, and delicious! Loved pairing everything with pickled things and bright slaw! Their house made pickles were nummy!Street parking, large tropical ambiance patio. Friendly service. I believe there was a single server holding down the whole place at one point and he was killing it!

Loved our dinner! We had the Valentine's Day special which was grilled shrimp and steak. Reasonably priced. Great place for a more upscale but still fairly casual date night. Street parking. Very friendly service. Dinner took a little longer to get to the table but it was Valentine's Day so to be expected.

Bear cave is a hidden gem in the heart of Hopkins. No stop to Hopkins is complete without bear cave. I've come here on numerous occasions and loved my experience each time. There are multiple levels of fun here -- all with self serve beverages via taps on the wall. As you come in, you check in up front with the host and you get a card that keeps track of your tab. Weave your way through each level -- don't miss the bear in the basement, and make sure if it's a sunny day to try out one of their outdoor spaces, either the rooftop or the patio. They also have fireplaces which make for a cozy night spot. I love the self serve aspect because it makes it easy to try a bunch of different things and really figure out your favorite before committing to a full drink. I also like the flexibility to be able to get just half a drink if you want. I've yet to try the food here, but what better excuse to have to return!

Prices are reasonable. Their draft beer selection would satisfy all with the extensive variety. The food was just ok, I tried the flatbread portion of the menu. The service is nothing exciting. Just adequate and ok. But nothing to make you feel like you're special. Bottom line a good place to have a few drinks.

Solid restaurant in Maple Plaine! They have live music, trivia and the restaurant is fairly large. Decent size indoor and outdoor seating. I love that they offer drinks outside of their brewed beers. Complete spirit lists as well as other domestic beers. We've tried a variety of items on the menu- but honestly have only been happy with their pizza. Their pizza is Detroit Style and comes with a side of the marinara which is so fresh and flavorful. The small is large enough for two. Staff is always friendly. Definitely would recommend calling for a reservation Friday or Saturday's

Came here on a Monday night about 2 weeks ago! Server was great and it wasn't busy about 6pm. Burger was just okay. Was dry and couldn't really taste the sauces that was on it (flammin blueberry burger). Loved the fries and that they were different than your standard fry. My friend loved the duck wontons. Would love to come back and try a different entree.
