Palace Pub

Palace Pub is the place to be! The bartenders and servers are all attentive and friendly, always greeted with a smile and great conversation. The food is delicious, my favorites being The Royale Italiano sub sandwich, it's absolute fire & the double cheeseburger with royale sauce. The PIZZA is hands down the best in Saint Paul, seriously, it's that good! It's a great pub style bar pie with always fresh ingredients and toppings (highly recommend the Italian sausage)! They even have slices! There's a huge bar that can seat what looks like 50 with a large seating area in the back, plus a huge patio in the historic center of downtown Saint Paul. There's a great local beer selection and a full variety of spirits. They definitely pour a nice drink 😉 HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping in for a bite and a beer, maybe some pinball, darts or golden tee, Before a Palace Theater show, Xcel(Grand Casino Arena) event, or any night of the week, this spot is a total vibe!! 🍕🍔🍺🍷🍸🍹 Bar is Open til 1am Tuesday-Saturday! Kitchen open til 11pm! (Tues, Wed, Thur) Midnight on Friday & Saturdays!

Awesome new spot! Great pizza and the staff is amazing. Low key vibes great for a show or happy hour.

Shout out to Anderson (his last name), Palace Pub bartender who went out of his way to find me something to eat later in the evening on Monday, Aug. 4. Visiting from elsewhere and staying at a hotel in Downtown St. Paul, I headed out at 830pm for drinks and some dinner …drinks i could find - but finding food after 9pm in Downtown St. Paul turned out to be nearly impossible. One restaurant informed me : "no hot food after 7pm!"...and just like that - almost shouted at me. It reminded me of that famous Seinfeld episode - you know the one (no soup for you...) But I kid you not. I mean, it's the city center and where many hotels are located, right? Quickly I learned that Downtown St. Paul is on an Early Bird schedule for dinner - and that if you want to eat dinner- you must be seated and order by 6pm- or you will not eat. Even one of the country's most well known dining car eateries -that's famously located here in St. Paul and was open 24 hours a day for many decades- now closes by 7pm. This town really does shut down abruptly by or before the early evening. But Palace Pub...this place is the sole exception to what seems to be that rule. As I was about to give up my quest to dine, I was heartened by the sound of lively music I heard coming from-as it turns out- Palace Pub. It was like finding an oasis in the desert. I entered the bar to be immediately greeted by Mr. Anderson - the first restaurant employee I met that night unperturbed by the later hour and sympathetic to my plight. He offered me a couple of slices of house made pizza - even willing to do so after the kitchen was officially closed. It was delicious and chased down by 2 or 3 beers. At last I wandered back to my hotel a happy (& full) camper. Kudos to Palace Pub and Anderson the bartender for extending such courtesy and kindness; Mr. Anderson was also a great conversationalist and took expert care of me at his bar. After striking out at 3 other establishments that night in Downtown St. Paul, only Palace Pub was willing to provide a meal and libation to an out of state visitor. I hope that I will be able to return soon.

Food was so much better than expected. Simple menu, but everything is much more interesting and tasty than you’d usually get. Super impressed, bookmarked for next time we’re in town.

Great place to go for drinks and/or dinner before a show. Fast and friendly service. Huge, relaxing patio to enjoy.

Servers were awesome and hustling around helping each other out, very attentive and friendly. Bartenders were not on the same level, waited 15+ mins for drinks no fault to the server because she kept running and checking if they were ready yet. We got our appetizers before our drinks even though our drink order was sent a few minutes before.

Best pizza i ever had. Great people

Great environment and great pizza with real cheese yummy 😋

We came here before a show and had a great time! Perfect location in downtown St. Paul. We loved sitting at the bar. The vibe was super fun yet laid back. Good beer selection. Enjoyed the wings, BLT, and chicken sandwich. The queso wasn't our fave. Will be back again since we love coming to Palace Theater!
