"Originally opened as a supper club and dance hall in the 1940s, Turf Club has a long history of bringing food and music to St. Paul’s Midway neighborhood. There’s a 350-person venue upstairs, but journey to the basement’s Clown Lounge — aptly named for its circusy decor — for a more intimate stage and booths for noshing. The menu features fries and tots by the pound, bacon cheddar burgers, and blue cheese-sprinkled buffalo chicken. Vegetarian options include Beyond Burgers, cheese curds, pretzels, and a Herbivorous Butcher vegan sriracha brat." - Natalia Mendez
