Great Neighborhood Bar & Grill From breakfast to dinners good comfort foods With friendly service read more

Went to this restaurant due to the fact it's been in business for nearly 100 years and to its good reviews. To say disappointed would be to good of a word to use. From the funky flavor of the soda to the overcooked fries, the meal was a disaster. I ordered the Hangover burger a Sunday special. This burger (which you can tell was a frozen hockey puck just minutes before) came with very greasy hash browns on it and an egg that was so undercooked I poured it off the burger. I don't mind slightly undercooked but the white was still clear. The fries were overcooked, flavorless, and unsalted. Extremely limited menu. We had a group of three and none of us are willing to even give it a second shot. Bartender was nice and attentive, did a great job. read more

We came on a Sunday. There wasn't a wait staff per se, and we had to place our order with the bartender at the bar. We ordered the daily special, which was a Juicy Lucy burger. It arrived burned, so the food was a "meh" at best, and not having waitstaff seemed like a chintzy move given how many people were in the restaurant and at the bar. I feel a little bad dinging them for service, because the lone bartender (who deserved a medal for ability to multitask and keep all the balls in the air) was serving the entire restaurant and bar, and it was pretty packed. Our food was overcooked the last time we were here, too, and I overlooked it, But two visits in a row I can't give another pass. read more

Gallaghers Bar - #2 with cheese. Onions, peppers added to Hashbrown - Bars Near Me - West St. Paul, Minnesota

I been here twice. The older bartender thats usually there at nights tends to give attitude to new people. I always get a bad stare from her. Only reason i go here cause its the cheapest beers in town. read more

Fast and economical. Always had been told about the pocket french toast here, which is very good. Standard breakfast is very reasonably priced and service is quick; we were in and out in less than 45 minutes. It is definitely a no-frills bar with seemingly plenty of regulars, but a good stop, nonetheless. read more

I come here atleast 4 days a week and spend decent money for a smaller town bar . I've never caused any problems , when I'm there I spend a cupple hundreds on pull tabs usually, the pull tab lady (older lady ) was beyond crabby and ovisly hates her job As she would Not serve me pull tabs then refused to serve my girlfriend pull tabs for no reason. Very rude and unprofessional and almost embarrassing as she made a big deal about it . Mind you there is a few other people that work the pole tabs , but if she's there, no point in me going to one of my favorite bars if I can't gamble very unfortunate and she should not be in the Work setting. She is in as she is NOT a people person whatsoever. read more

Cool dive bar. Love the specials and pull tabs. A lot of locals in this spot makes it interesting.

This place is great! The food is delicious, the servers are nice, and the drinks are very affordable. It has that classic dive bar energy I've been looking for in St. Paul. They even have a TouchTunes to control your own music! read more

Good food and great prices. Bloody Mary was amazing! Staff super friendly. Lot of TVs good atmosphere.

This is like my Cheers Bar! I love the people and the food is amazing I appreciate the patio also, especially note that the sun is shining on us. read more

Gallaghers Bar - Love this place!! - Bars Near Me - West St. Paul, Minnesota

This our go breakfast place. So far when we have to compare other breakfasts to this one, they fall way short. Good prices, great staff, and awesome food. read more

We ordered take-out for a Friday fish fry. When my son arrived to pick up the food, he was required to push his way through a packed bar, where no one except staff, was wearing masks. The fish was pretty good. The fries were lousy. This treat for us, and an opportunity to support a local business, was a complete disappointment. The food was not worth the risk of having now brought Covid into our home, after a year of being so very careful. read more

I'm in the market for a new hole in the wall since moving a few streets down, and was willing to give this place a try, despite the mixed the reviews. First, I came on purpose for taco Tuesday, because tacos. Though it was pushing a bit later in the evening, I wasn't concerned about the timing. When we arrived, it was fairly slow. We saddled up to the bar and waited for the bartender to wander over. And we waited some more. And a bit after that. When he did take our drink order, he confirmed that there were in fact tacos. When he walked back, I asked if we could order and then he said the kitchen was closed. After closing out our tab for drinks, I noticed someone in the corner assembling tacos. By this point I was pretty hungry, and a bit annoyed that he didn't mention tacos were still being served. I ordered them, but thought it was odd they weren't being prepared in the kitchen. While the tacos were good, I think the service and the atmosphere aren't to my taste. read more

This places is wonderful. I was treated like family. I will make this my home base whenever I return to North KCMO. Love it love it. read more

Everything you would think a small neighborhood bar would be. Old and nothing fancy but great for some bullshitting and drinks with friends. I did not eat here so no comments on the food. Drinks were made well and affordable. They have Touch Tunes so you can listen to some music also. read more

Gallagher's bar isn't anything special, unless you live in a neighborhood near Ohio Street in St Paul and you're looking for a place within walking distance for a few drinks and a full belly. The food is more filling -- and affordable -- than it is memorable. The turkey club sandwich, for example, features american cheese slices. The spaghetti and steak combo plate (even sans meatball) is a bargain and is likely to satisfy any appetite. The dining room is dreary -- so eating in the bar is the best option if seating is available. Gallager's is an active local bar with a full menu -- including breakfast. With that in mind, I think it could be an ideal location to grab a low-cost breakfast with a bloody mary. Best for beers. Maybe breakfast. read more

My girlfriend sings karaoke most weekends. She sings here often. Therefore I go often. It's that neighborhood bar people love. I think people in there come every weekend and go nowhere else. It's an older crowd, so please don't go here thinking you're going to find your next significant other. But when you want to have fun, and be low key, this is the place. They have darts, and the BuckHunter game (have I painted the picture yet?). The drinks are stupid cheap = $3 for a gin and tonic. If they have seen you in the place more than once, they'll write your tab down on a check and you can pay before you leave - no credit card or ID needed to hold your tab. Yep, that kinda place. If you don't want to dance, if you want cheap drinks, if you want to be able to get a drink in your pajamas -- this is the place. read more

I love Gallagher's. I live a few blocks away and just recently discovered how great this place is...very friendly staff, great breakfast and dinner options (huge menu) and they pour a good drink!!! Stop in give it a try! read more

I will preface this by saying I was a regular here 2 years ago before moving out of town and finally returning to the neighborhood. The patrons at the bar are usually older in age, I'm 32 and I was surprised to be the only person with their phone resting on the bar. This is the type of place that even after being gone for two years the bartender still remembered my name and what I like to drink, that is a real win in my book. This is the kind of place that you can easily get into a conversation with one if the regulars and not feel like you are intruding, the kind of place where the owner will sporadically buy a round for the patrons up at the bar yes it is that kind of place. As far as food goes the club sandwich is a must try with its perfectly thick crunchy bacon. Their burgers are also top notch but this place really shines with its homemade specials like the chicken fried steak both the food and the drinks are very easy on the wallet and the service I have had has always been welcoming. read more

Soggy bun, and burnt bun. Slow service. Burnt burger, and baby glasses for beer, but still good read more

Gallaghers Bar - Baby glasses - Bars Near Me - West St. Paul, Minnesota

This place is a great representation of Minnesota. The food is ACTUALLY home-cooked and tastes like it. The servers are friendly and... *Pause to bite into pot roast special* Da thpefials are really delifious. *Swallow* The specials are really delicious and priced really, really low for the quality. Skip past the chain stores and stop in here for a meal and a brew. read more

My wife and I love this bar. Cheap drinks and good food. We are locals but have found this place good for a drink and some bar food. I love the tacos! Casey is the man btw. read more

Gallaghers Bar - Fun at the local watering hole. Fun fun give me some rum! - Bars Near Me - West St. Paul, Minnesota

Nothing fancy, but it is also not pretentious. Every age and walk of life seem to socialize peacefully.

a girl got attacked there the other night. I was too drunk to do anything but the bartender (a chick) egged the dude on. then they all laughed about it while the girl begged them for her phone and coat. everyone was over served, myself included. and they stayed after 2 drinking once they'd violently thrown the girl out. not a cool place. read more

I really like this place. Kinda old school sconie bar in west Saint Paul. Cheap booze, north woods interior. Service is friendly and fun. I recommend coming on weekends. The food specials are great. Burgers are consistently good. Simple. Makes me warm and fuzzy in the winter. read more

3 stars for the prime rib. Ironically, we were recommended to this place from an unlikely source. We first tried it one night when the Cherokee was overbooked. It's right down the street. They have (according to my husband) great fish and chips. Their prime rib on Saturday nights is actually quite good. A frozen or canned veggie will accompany your potatoe choice (no mashed on the weekends...too bad, quite good). The Prime is better than places charging twice as much. Atmosphere for dining? Think camp lodge. But not bad for a quick place to run in. read more

This restaurant is listed as a night club but Ive only been there for breakfast. Beware if your not a local as you will get an attitude from the servers but its just like walking into a strangers house you will get grilled. Once you get recognized you feel like your right at home. I had eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash-browns and coffee. Pancakes as big as your head and enough butter to stop any heart. MMM good Midwest cooking. read more

I've been to Gallaghers twice now, and ordered the same dish twice. In the month or two between visits, it seems like their portion sizes shrank. Even though it's still generous, it's a bit of a let down. Food is OK, but OK food is better tolerated if you get a bunch of it. Couple that with rather expensive beer (a pitcher of Honeyweiss is a whopping $15), I don't know when I'll be going back. read more

I have never eaten here, but it is a fun place to go for a neighborhood dive. If you show up on a semi-regular basis you start to get to know the staff and they are always a good time. My buddies pulled some decent tabs there the other night and it covered our entire tab and then some. read more

Worst breakfast ever. 4 egg omelet was whipped, not a good sign, probably was only 2 or 3 eggs. Ordered hash browns with cheese,crappy pastured half melted slabs served on jojos not hashbrowns. Do not recommend eating here. read more

This is an old school bar and restaurant. The clientele is mostly over 60. We have been twice for dinner. Both times, my husband had the steak special because it was good and inexpensive. I've had the fish basket, which was basic and yummy. I don't even remember what I had the first time. The service was adequate--they obviously have a lot of regulars and are really busy during dinner. It's right in our neighborhood so it's convenient for us. They do serve breakfast, which I would love to try. read more

Went there first and only time I gotta tell you the waitress she was amazing and so friendly. Could not say enough about her took our 3 year old with for lunch and she just made him feel at home with her friendliness. The food was great and the inside was clean and eater friendly will be returning for breakfast soon. read more

I ordered a drink and was given something completely different. When I questioned the bartender and asked to get what I ordered the owner came over and berated me. Told me I had to pay for what I received and to get out. Will never go back. read more

Fantastic food, but I've been waiting an hour for breakfast. The waitress hasn't even come over to refresh our drinks. Unfortunately, I won't be back. Time to find another greasy spoon breakfast. read more

Best breakfast for the best value! Yes it's where the local's hang out, so you may not be treated like one right away, however within minutes of being there, the staff makes you feel like you are part of the family. It's not every bar/restaurant where the owner herself takes your orders and severs you food. And if you're lucky you'll get a hug and a kiss on the cheek! Definitely a great place good home cooked meals. And while the kitchen closes at 12pm on Sunday's, they've got you covered with $1.25 burgers, complete with onions if you'd like! read more

I have been going to Gallaghers for years. It is the neighborhood bar that everyone is familiar with. I credit the ownership for running and keeping the place in business for all these years.... Which can be tough in a competitive market. They have a great breakfast with huge portions for a low cost. Some upgrades over the years shows the attempt to keep up with the times. On the other hand, the main thing that I have to be upset about tis the bar tending service. There are some quality tenders there but there are a few that would rather worry about how cool they look than to take an order from someone. My wife and I have been there multiple times in the past year on not so busy nights only to be passed by at the bar while holding out a $20 waiting to place an order. Last time I checked the sole purpose of a bar is to offer great drinks at a fair price in a timely manner.... If you fail on that than there are many places that can deliver. Good place, family atmosphere and competitive pricing but could use some help in bar tending end of things (mainly the younger tenders). Oh yeah.... Update the bathrooms! read more

I grew up in this bar," if it could talk,'' thank goodness it can't, ha! this is the last of the old time bars.As it hasn't changed much over the 40 yrs i've been going there.always friendly people good prices, so they must be doing something right after all these years! read more

Went there for Breakfast. .potatoes were cold..waitress never came back to see if everything was okay. Only time she came by was to drop off the bill and then left. When we went to leave could not find her and the other waitress went to get her. I stood waiting for 5 minutes. We had left a tip on the table and when she finally came up to take my money she never said thank you..probably because she thought she wasn't getting a tip. read more

I always enjoy coming here. Good food, drinks and live music on weekends with a respectable crowd.

Generally love breakfast at Gallaghers but will leave if Jen is the waitress waiting on me next time. She is consistently rude, sarcastic and abrupt. She seems irritated by customers! read more
