Patrick McGovern's Pub

"Patrick McGovern’s isn’t an official Irish pub — much of the menu is American pub fare. But the 1888 red brick building, in the heart of St. Paul’s historic Seven Corners area, helps qualify the restaurant for this list. Once home to a whole host of 20th-century watering holes, the pub has steadily grown its footprint over the years, evolving from a gritty old saloon to its current form, complete with a three-tier patio. Irish menu highlights include beef and potato stew, fish and chips, and Irish Mac, made with a Guinness white cheddar and cream cheese sauce." - Eater Staff, Stacy Brooks

"McGovern’s is a neighborhood bar with a stunner of a patio underneath a retractible roof and this year it’s been expanded into the back of the restaurant as well. It is an oasis that just happens to serve chicken fingers." - Joy Summers
