My husband & his dad come to McGovern's for every Vikings game & I tag along sometimes; the patio space is massive & is really cozy, even through the winter. It's fun that they decorate for the different holidays as well! The servers are usually very attentive, even when the space is busy. Their menus tend to change or be limited depending on the meal & sporting events going on, so keep that in mind. Their food is decent, though, with a wide selection for breakfast, lunch, & dinner, as well as a huge drink menu!

Yes, great place, they had a fire a few days ago ago, but we're open and functioning perfectly! I had the Cher Buger and it was great! The service was top notch! The food was great and timely as we are headed to the wild game!! We were seated on the second floor with a great view of 7th street!

Great place to stop at before the Wild game! We went in looking for a quick bite before the Hockey game and found it packed with no seating available; the host stand told us to go upstairs where it had open seating. We found a spot at the bar and Steve (the bartender) took great care of us; told us to order quickly as the kitchen was getting backed up. Then came back to take our drink orders and kept us filled the whole time. Food was excellent and came out in a timely manner considering how slammed they were. Great game-time atmosphere that made us want to stay as long as we could before heading off to the game. Highly recommend making this your stop!

First stop when I visit Minneapolis/St Paul! My company is based in the Twin Cities, so I fly back there every month. My flight always lands around lunchtime, so I jump in the rental car and drive to Patrick McGovern's in downtown St Paul! Entree: Walleye Sandwich ($19.50). I've tried several of their Irish dishes and they are authentic (I lived in Ireland for almost a year), but I keep coming back for the Walleye! Perfectly grilled, on a grilled Hoagie bun. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!The Sandwich does come with a Side. I've tried all five (Fries, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, Cottage Cheese, Chips). Skip the Cole Slaw! Potato Salad is my choice. Chips are similar to kettle baked, so they're good. Cottage Cheese is hard to screw up, and Fries are decent. I'm deducting a STAR because the Sides are not that special. Service: Always fast, attentive, and friendly! Ambiance: It's a HUGE place with indoor and outdoor seating--and even in winter, the outdoor seating is completely covered and cozy. The waterfall outside the west windows is nice.Parking: I'm GIVING BACK A STAR because they have their own free parking lot. Parking in downtown St Paul can be a hassle and expensive. Overall: I stop here every month, so obviously, I give them my HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating!

We chose a random restaurant with burgers and they did not disappoint. We almost left because of the prices despite the food being pretty basic. $17 for a chicken wrap is bizarre, but we took a chance. Also a little odd that there weren't waffle fries, but they definitely made up for it with those fries that look like they've been in grease that's seen it all and fried some of everything, those fries are friggin delicious! And their ranch sauce, I'd literally drink it. I got two to go. And I don't even dip my fries in ranch! But I had no idea what else to eat it with so the fries were the winner and it didn't disappoint. Our host was awesome and patient, but also on it. We went around 4 and it was pretty empty so it was quiet, it was also a Thursday evening so it made sense. It started picking up I would say around 7ish. They did turn on the fire place which was nice. We unintentionally sat under the tv and noticed about halfway through that it was pretty dusty. I feel like that should be dusted, but I guess a little extra flavor never hurt anyone. My Baja burger, lemonade, and side of fries came up to around $27. The burger was pretty good, but not really memorable.

My friends and I visited McGoverns for st paddy's day celebrations this year and it was definitely the place to be! We got there early (3pm ish) so that we could get a table which definitely helped because the bar got CROWDED as the day went on. Drinks were reasonably priced. It was a bit hard to order drinks once it got busier, but I don't think that's out of the ordinary for bars on a holiday. We got hungry mid afternoon and ordered some food as well. We were pleasantly surprised how good it all was! The mozzarella sticks were crunchy and had a great cheese pull, and the chicken tenders with fries were whole chicken breast served with a side of bbq sauce. The bar space itself had lots of space with multiple different rooms (including a terrace area and a tent). Super fun and will be back next year!

Went on a concert night, smaller menu so don't have your heart set on anything from the normal menu (no wraps, slim pickings on dinner plates) but we got the shredded pork sandwich and the spinach artichoke dip chicken sandwich and both were good!

We stopped in after getting picked up from the airport and I was amazed at the size of the place! It looks like a normal restaurant/bar, but walk to the left and it opens up to a cool atrium!!! It rained the day we were there and the roof louvers kept the intense rain out! It was great! The food was delicious and seasoned perfectly!!!! I highly recommend this place for hanging out or a casual dinner! Beautiful ambiance!!!!
