"Slip into new St. Paul restaurant Local Rumor, located in the former Blue Door space, for a smash burger, a stiff Old Fashioned or lime-bright mojito, and a vibrant, funky vibe. The new space, decorated with jewel tones, blooming bougainvillea, and satiny curtains is almost unrecognizable as the Selby Avenue pub it once was, but chef Jesus Romero Lopez’s contemporary American “comfort food” menu keeps Local Rumor an approachable neighborhood spot." - Eater Staff
