“ 30 minutes into my experience... already one of my favorite bars in St. Paul. Divey, original, home town vibes. I was a bit to young in my 20s to spend time in bars. Great deals but you gotta come in and ask about em ”
“ Certainly! Here’s a draft for your Google review: Midway Saloon is a must-visit for any Loons fan or family looking for a fun, casual hangout! It’s become our go-to pregame spot before Minnesota United games, and today, we brought the kids along after some playtime at the stadium’s playground. Even with a full house, the service was fantastic, and the food hit the spot. One unexpected bonus was Steven the magician, who was amazing with our kids—he kept them entertained with tricks and even inspired my daughter with some magic of her own! Thanks for creating such a family-friendly and lively atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ Outstanding musicians and friendly owners and staff. I dont drink but it looked like a great selection with homemade coffee and soda's available too. I will be a repeat customer!!! ”
“ This is a nice and convenient establishment. People are friendly. It's very welcoming here. It's right across from the soccer field on University. So if you're going to a game come a little early and step in. There is parking in the back and along the sides. It's near the end of the season but they have a nice patio also. If you want to play some pool and have a cocktail or just relax before the game. You may need to do that because you'll be screaming your head off but. I hope that you're going to have pictures it's very clean it's very comfortable and it's quite fun. Signed Christian. ”
“ 5 stars for music. Monday's Moses Oakland blues jam is top notch, Wednesday's Pat Donohue show is best free show in Twin Cities ”
“ We hosted our first ever Songwriter Showcase with Bubba Startz presented by The Scene Projects here in December 2024. A great bar with the perfect vibe for who we are. We haven't been back to experience it on a game night at Allianz but we heard it gets PACKED and there is always LIVE music to listen to here!! See you when we come back later this year!! ”
“ I've been here a couple times after a United game. Each time has been a good experience. They have a good whiskey selection and plenty of beers on tap. There has always been live music when I've gone in which is enjoyable. No thrills place to chill and I enjoy it. ”
“ Love coming here. Unless there’s live music its not too crazy packed and its a good place to relax. Good priced drinks and the food’s delicious. Todd remembers a face quickly and is always welcoming and fun to be around. Super cool dude ”
