Description

With an all-day happy hour and the best Guinness pour in town, the Liffey is a new St. Paul bar with old-world Irish heart. Fans of woodworking should drop by to check out the hand-carved teak everything made by artisans back in County Wexford; fans of Emerald isle comfort foods should stop by for some estimable fish and chips, home-made, spicily scented corned beef, or hangover-busting curried chips; and fans of someplace new to take the parents for breakfast should check out the budget-friendly Sunday brunch.

No disrespect to Minneapolis's myriad Gaelic-flavored watering holes, but when it comes to Irish pubs, you might want to look across the river to the one Twin City that actually boasts an Irish Catholic history. Walk inside the dimly lit, dark wooden interior of the Liffey, kitty-corner from the Xcel Energy Center, and you'll encounter a tastefully understated Celtic atmosphere, with gritty black-and-white photos of the motherland adorning the walls.

2006 | BEST OPEN BAR/PATIO

The era of the smoking ban here in the Twin Cities produced an unlikely by-product: Can anyone remember a year that saw a bigger proliferation of patios at drinking establishments across the metro Some, of course, were nothing but makeshift shanties, little awnings propped up above back doors that open to parking lots. Not to say these weren't welcome--a smoker's got to smoke when a smoker drinks. But others were more adventurous. The folks at the Monte Carlo in downtown Minneapolis,... More »

Authenticity is everything with an Irish pub, so sorry, Minneapolis. Nobody does the Irish thing like St. Paul. The Liffey is located in the heart of the city's downtown, in a hotel, next to a sex shop and pizzeria, and, after a few Guinnesses, it can sometimes feel like a stop on some Bloomsday tour or another. Located in the Holiday Inn-River Centre, the Liffey is more like a train station than a pub, but with all those hard-drinking pug-faced St. Paul lads and lasses swaying to the... More »

Welcome politicos, pollsters, and protesters. For the next few days, downtown St. Paul is going to be a madhouse, as tens of thousands start showing up for the Republican National Convention. Frankly, I can't even wrap my head around how the city ... More »

Admittedly, this hasn't been the best summer for outdoor wining and dining. Yet despite first the constant downpours and then the heat wave, there's something that draws crowds out onto Twin Cities patios like packs of beached seals. Maybe smoker... More »
