If hell had a restaurant, it would be Pauly's Bar & Grill. I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. Walking in, I was immediately hit with a stench so vile it made me wonder if something had died in the kitchen. Spoiler alert: after tasting the food, I'm convinced it did.Let's start with the service--or lack thereof. Our server looked like they had just lost a bet and were being forced to work here as punishment. They were slower than dial-up internet and had the enthusiasm of a corpse. After waiting nearly an hour, our food arrived cold, greasy, and looking like it had been scraped out of a dumpster behind a truck stop.I ordered a burger, and I swear, I have seen roadkill that looked more appetizing. The bun was stale, the patty was both burnt and raw at the same time (how?!), and the entire thing was slathered in some disgusting mystery sauce that I can only assume was expired mayo mixed with regret. My friend got the chicken, which was so undercooked it was still clucking--I half expected it to fly off the plate. The fries? Floppy, cold, and so drenched in grease I could have wrung them out and powered a car.The drinks were even worse. Ordered a cocktail, got a glass of watered-down disappointment. It tasted like it was mixed by someone who had never seen alcohol before. My beer was flat, warm, and tasted like it had been stored in a rusty bucket.And let's talk about the place itself--FILTHY. Sticky tables, floors covered in what I can only assume were years of spilled drinks and shattered dreams, and a bathroom so disgusting I nearly gagged just walking past it. If you survive eating here, congratulations, you probably have the immune system of a cockroach.The worst part? The prices. The audacity of this place to charge fine dining prices for food that belongs in a landfill is nothing short of criminal. I wouldn't eat here again if they paid me. Actually, I might demand compensation for the emotional trauma.If you're considering going to Pauly's, don't. Set your money on fire instead--you'll get more enjoyment out of it. This place should be condemned.

So we learned Pauly's has 2 locations. Ones a neighborhood pub and the other is nearby (less than 10 minutes away, near dt) and it's a rooftop. We were led to the Pub location via the St Paul Patio Passport program but when trying to check in we realized we were at the wrong location. At the Pub the waiter was really nice and explained the 2 locations and how to get to the other one that often people come in asking the same thing. We did not end up eating or drinking here but I did use the coed bathroom and on my... it was disgusting. There was a large pool of liquid around the toilet as well as fluids on the seat. It wad really gross. At the other location we found street parking at a meter but it was late enough to where it was free to park. We followed a ton of signs that showed us how to get to the rooftop, it wasn't hard but those signs were for sure needed! Once we got to the rooftop it was a really nice vibe. Nice view, good drinks and nice seating areas. It did rain a bit earlier in the day we went and the lady at the first pub told us that sometimes they don't open if it rains so some of the seating areas at the rooftop were still a bit wet but it turned out to be a really nice night. The bartender was very nice and it was a good time.

This place has undergone several transformations over the years, and now it's the vibrant Paulys! The rooftop is an absolute gem for social gatherings, offering plenty of sunshine and refreshing breezes. The view is simply breathtaking, especially after dark when the city lights create a serene atmosphere.The bar is well stocked, and the food was great and didn't disappoint. However, the main issue with this location is the very slow service. It took about 20 minutes before anyone came to check on us. The tables closer to the bar received prompt service, but those farther away were seldom visited. We had to go up to the bar ourselves several times just to order drinks.That night we got to enjoy fireworks from the CHS field. If it were not for the view and food I would have given them 1 star but 3 is in between. I will be going back to review it again and perhaps it was just an off night.

From the moment I walked through the door at Paulie's Restaurant, I knew I was in for an exceptional dining experience. Everything about this place--from the warm ambiance to the impeccable service and, of course, the absolutely outstanding food--left me thoroughly impressed. After dining at Paulie's, I can confidently say this restaurant is one of the best I've visited in a long time. Here's why it deserves all five stars and then some. The moment I entered Paulie's, I was immediately struck by the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant has a perfect balance of modern elegance and rustic charm. The lighting is soft and warm, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated environment. Whether you're on a date, celebrating a special occasion, or just enjoying a casual meal with friends, Paulie's provides the perfect setting for any occasion. The rustic wooden tables, comfortable seating, and thoughtfully placed decor all contribute to an inviting space that feels both upscale and homey. There's a quiet hum of conversation, but it's never too loud or distracting--just the right level of energy to make you feel like you're part of something special. Service at Paulie's is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were greeted at the door, the staff made us feel like we were the most important guests in the restaurant. Our server, Mike, was professional, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. He took the time to explain the menu in detail, offering recommendations based on our preferences and asking thoughtful questions about how we like our food prepared. Throughout the meal, Mike checked in with us regularly, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed. It's the little things that really make a difference, like how he suggested a wine pairing that perfectly complemented our meal or how he made sure our food came out at the right temperature, timed perfectly so that everything was hot and fresh. The team at Paulie's knows what great service is all about--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring about making the guest experience exceptional. The Food: A Masterclass in Flavor and Presentation Now, let's talk about the food--the real star of the show at Paulie's. If I could give more than five stars for the culinary experience, I absolutely would. Every dish we ordered was a work of art, both in terms of flavor and presentation. It was clear from the first bite that the chefs at Paulie's take pride in their craft and use only the highest-quality ingredients. We started with the appetizers, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the selections. I opted for the grilled octopus, which was cooked to absolute perfection. The octopus was tender, flavorful, and slightly charred on the edges, which added a delicious smokiness to each bite. It was served with a bright, citrusy dressing that brought a refreshing contrast to the rich flavor of the octopus, along with a sprinkle of microgreens for a bit of crunch. This dish alone was worth the visit, and it set the tone for the rest of the meal. My dining companion chose the burrata with roasted heirloom tomatoes. The burrata was incredibly creamy, with a rich, velvety texture that melted in your mouth. Paired with the perfectly roasted tomatoes, the dish was bursting with freshness and flavor. The addition of balsamic glaze and a touch of basil brought all the elements together beautifully. It was light yet indulgent, and a true testament to the kitchen's attention to detail. For the entrees, Paulie's really knocked it out of the park. I opted for the Filet Mignon, which was simply one of the best steaks I've ever had. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, the steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a rich, buttery flavor that was complemented by a subtle char from the grill. The meat was seasoned perfectly, allowing the natural flavors of the beef to shine through. It was served with a side of truffle mashed potatoes, which were creamy and decadent, and roasted Brussels sprouts, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside--just the way they should be. Every bite of the steak was an absolute delight, and I couldn't stop raving about it throughout the meal. My companion went for the pan-seared sea bass, which was another showstopper. The fish was cooked flawlessly, with a crispy golden crust on the outside and moist, flaky flesh on the inside. It was served with a delicate lemon beurre blanc sauce that added a touch of acidity and richness to the dish. The accompanying sautéed spinach and wild rice were the perfect balance of textures and flavors, rounding out the dish in the most delicious way. And let's not forget about the desserts. We shared the chocolate lava cake, and it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. The cake had a rich, gooey center that oozed out like molten chocolate when we cut into it. It was served with a scoop of love. Awesome place.

We stopped in to Pauly's on our way home & wanted a beer & a snack. I'm still sad that Augustine's closed, but it's nice to have a sports bar so close to our house. My husband & I each got a draft beer, then we split a Cobb Salad & the Loaded Baked Potato Bites:--the salad was huge & came with a ton of toppings & a large side of dressing. It was overall very tasty, but some of the lettuce & cucumber didn't seem quite as fresh. --the potato skins were really good; there was a smooth mashed potato center & nice crisp, along with tasty dressing on top. I would definitely order these again!Our server/the bartender was helpful & kind. We did have to wait what seemed like a long time for our food, but this place is new so we'll give them a pass haha

Pauly's feels like a pretty standard sports bar. Lots of TVs, rather loud, and menu focused on American bar food. My husband enjoyed his wings while I thought my turkey club was pretty average. I was a bit disappointed by the chips (I was expecting house made vs. a bag) and the cheese curds with dill were not a great texture or flavor combination - it felt like eating uncooked batter inside the cheese curd. I'd also like to see more vegetarian options on the menu. If you're a burger and beer person you'll probably enjoy it, but I was hoping for a bit more elevated bar food.

I visited Pauly's on a Monday afternoon to try a burger. The restaurant is relatively new and beautiful inside. It's warm and cozy but very spacious. It has a very traditional pub feel to it with a decent size food, cocktail, and tap beer menu. The burger I had was really good. Meat was slightly overcooked but still pretty juicy and the bun was super fresh. I paid an additional $3 to add fries to my $15 burger. They were awful. Cold. Likely really cold. Soggy, floppy, trash. The guy next to me at the bar complained and the bartender just kinda laughed about it so I didn't even bother saying anything. The service was ok. There was one table sat in the dining area, one table in the bar area, and a few patrons at the bar. So not very busy. The food came out quick but the bartender spent the majority of his time talking to the wait staff. This place has a 4% service fee as well which I am totally fine with. I will, however, say that with the fee my bill for a burger and terrible fries was $21.37. Seems a little steep. Burger was good but not $21 good. I would absolutely love to give this place another go and a higher review but given the service and the inconsistency of the food on my plate and the high price, I won't be coming back real quick. Also not sure I would rush to recommend to friends. Follow me on IGdanny_runsforbeer

I came here to watch the Vikings game a few weeks ago (skol!) and had a great time! It's a nice spot for watching the game (TVs at all angles, though of course the noise level gets high as is to be expected). We got fries and tater tots and both were good!

This is a new restaurant and I really like the atmosphere. It seems friendly and neighborhoody and I plan on frequenting. We started with the jalapeño poppers. I'm not usually a fan of chorizo and these were quite different than the usual poppers, but they weren't bad. The wedge salad was all right. Bacon a little more done than I'd like and too small of pieces. It was a little plain and could've used some cheese crumbles or chunks. The burger was cooked perfectly and I loved the extra dill pickles. The bun was really nice, but could've used more seasoning on the Pattie's. I paid for the cheese and there could've been more, but all in all a decent burger. The Pauly sauce was a good burger sauce.I'll try again and check back. I'm not willing to give them more than three stars at this time. They're just getting started and I'm happy with them so far
