    Outdoor patio with a food truck on site
    Kris C.

    I love this brewery right in downtown Saint Paul, MN. It's got a great location with a great atmosphere! There is plenty of seating especially on a warm day as it was, the outdoor seating was ideal! I had a couple of their signature beers including the Haze Oasis and Mild Ale (English session). They're really tasty beers! I've been here on several previous occasions and I've not yet been disappointed by their selection of craft taps. On this particular day, they had the Cuchillo food truck available with some tasty Hispanic choices. I got the burrito, yum! The beer tenders are always great. They'll usually be greeting you with a smile and always quick on the pours. I'd recommend you make a pit stop at this brewery if you're in downtown for a good beer and a easy atmosphere.

    Fun brewery located on West 7th in St. Paul just south of the city center. All the trappings of a typical American brewery including: - big open space with high ceilings and lots of seating. - nice view of the brewing equipment. - food truck in the parking lot (Brick Oven Bus on the day we were there). - board games on a shelf for patrons to use. - big selection of beers, from IPA's to lagers to sours to winter warmers... My girlfriend and I stopped in on a late Tuesday afternoon so it wasn't very crowded. The bartender seemed kind of indifferent to us but service was quick and we each got a flight. The beer was all very good but nothing that really knocked our socks off. I do like that the menu is organized by style of beer. Not every brewery does that and it's helpful to people that might not know much about beer. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back.

    This brewery has a great theme with the weather. There is plenty of seating. The bartenders were attentive and helpful. They have rotating food trucks and we liked the food we got from the one working the day we visited.

    We came here after getting dinner at Emerald Lounge nearby so it was the perfect spot to add to our date night! The beers were delicious. We really liked the open space setting. The music was chill and upbeat. We saw a variety of people enjoying their night with friends, kids, and dogs! They also have a nice patio space but it was raining when we went so we'll have to try the patio next time!

    I'm on the hunt for places to take my dad. He is using a walker now. So everything needs to be on one level. It was easy to park and get my dad to the patio. We ordered food from Que Tal, service was quick and friendly. Definitely coming back.

    Great vibes - especially on a nice day when they open up the garage doors. Doggo friendly. Great beers on tap. Parking can be a bit of a B. They always have food trucks every-time I'm there which is always a nice option. They offer flights of four and have slushies in the summer. Trivia nights is always a good time as well. Cheers.

    Great beer, great atmosphere. And always an abundance of adorable pups. I really appreciate their beer menu because they're always brewing styles you may not see elsewhere and they do it well. It is my go to brewery.

    Decent beer selection with some fun rotating boozie slushies available and N/A bevs. The draw for this location is definitely how open it is with a tap room that can be opened into a patio, which is perfect for warm weather hangouts. Lots of seating options (tables, picnic benches, bar) and there's also Trivia on Wednesday it seems. Like most breweries, you order at the counter and then bus your own table.

    Great location!! Close to a lot and right now the road from The X!! Went here on a Sunday with the kiddo and we enjoyed the open taproom. I had the ZWICKEL PILS, it had great flavor and drank very easily. They have plenty of games to pass the time and my kiddo loved the arcade games. We'll make sure to come back in the summer and enjoy their patio.

    Went to the brewery today and got the adult slushy which was apple cider flavored. It was absolutely delicious and tasted like fall! I am not much of a beer drinker so this was my only option. Lots of indoor and outdoor patio area for seating. Most games the brewery provided were missing pieces in the games making them unplayable so that was unfortunate. They had a Philly cheese steak food truck and I got the Philly cheese steak with pepper jack cheese and it was good but not great.

    Bad Weather is one of the first breweries I've ever been to in the Twin Cities and worth stoping if I. The area. They have their own parking lot and there is street parking as well. Their outdoor patio is great when the weather is not BAD. They also have a lot of room inside to hangout, whether in the brewery area or the private room. We have also been here for Trivia Mafia on Wednesdays nights and great way to have fun as a group and drink beer. Bad Weather isn't my favorite beer in the twin cities, but they have some flavors worth trying. The witbier and hefferweissen have a strong banana flavor and are easy to drink.

    Hazy IPA. Sunny patio.

    Fun place for a casual meet up with friends or a date! The space and outdoor are definitely the highlights. Beer is good, but not amazing! Unfortunately the server I interacted with was pretty much indifferent towards customers which was a bummer. Still a fun place to visit.

    The brewery is clean. The beer is decent. Plenty of seating. Prices are a bit high given what they offer. Compared to LTD brewery this place deserves a 5. Compared to others around here, possibly a 3. Bad weather seems more concerned about the masses than anything else. It's not a trait to be destroyed because of, but it takes away from the brewery feel. Not too many beers on tap, and not that large of variety. Prices, as always, seemed about 2 dollars high. It's solid, but I don't really go out of my way to go there. They do have bags in the summer though which is always nice.

    Flight!

    Such a fun brewery/gastropub in St Paul! You have to love…read morethe space. It's an old firehouse and the patio in the nice weather months is fire. Parking can be tricky; there's not really a lot here, so you have to get lucky with the street. Staff are great here. They are always fun to chat with and will make recommendations if you need them. On our most recent venture here, I tried the spaetzle. Hubs had a burger and got the beer cheese soup. I had a bite of the soup and it was so good. The spaetzle was a little plain, but so tasty. You gotta try a beer here too. I had the hefeweizen, which I loved. Definitely stop in the summer and enjoy the patio if you have the opportunity.

    As someone born and raised in Franconia in Bavaria, I was really excited to visit Waldmann Brewery…read moreand experience what I hoped would feel like a taste of home. While I can appreciate the effort and the atmosphere, the food just did not quite hit the mark for me personally. The dishes felt more American influenced than traditionally German, and overall they lacked some of the authenticity and flavors I associate with Bavarian and Franconian cuisine. Unfortunately, we did not really enjoy the food as much as we had hoped. That said, the history and character of the building were genuinely impressive. The restoration work and historic atmosphere were easily the highlight of the visit and made the experience worthwhile from that perspective. I think people looking for a local interpretation of German inspired food may enjoy it more than someone expecting a more traditional experience.

The interior is casual and approachable, with fun wall art, TVs with live sports, and people playing board games and socializing. We bellied up to the bar, and while our beertender didn't pull us any big winner pull tabs ;), they were awesome to converse with during our visit! The beer leans towards a wide variety of Hazy IPAs, which is one of our favorite styles, so we were in heaven! We tried a few different beers during our visit, and all were delicious! The big surprise was their Tropical Sour, which had a delicious citrus and island vibe to it! We took home a four pack to enjoy all summer long! A great spot for a pint if you're in the area and looking for a great craft brewery!

Bartenders are always happy to answer questions or chat at slower times. Parking can be a bit tricky during busier hours but we've always found street spots out front. They've got a few pinball machines as well if that's your jam. They're attached to Dark Horse Eatery and even share an ordering window so you can bring food or get it from there. They're known for their IPAs and stouts but honestly anything will be decent at worst so feel free to explore. Always experimenting with hop variety and combinations. Any variation of Rain Drops is great but I recommend DDH. I'm more a stout guy so any barrel aged brews will be 10/10 and are worth waiting in line for. I'd you like atmosphere and great beer you should check them out.
