Did you know that this is the states oldest most continuously operating bar? How cool is that? It definitely has that local vibe feel. We've been here before for karaoke but it doesn't appear to be an option of lately. They do have live music a couple of nights a week and certain food specials here and there. We just came in for the last stop of the night before heading home. The bartender was friendly and welcoming. Lots of free parking options too. read more

Neumanns Bar - Bars Near Me - North Saint Paul, Minnesota

Come for burger day! We always used to come here before Luther auctions on Mondays. Much better burger than tacos. Taco shells def tasted stale barely any seasoning I mean I get it they are 7 bucks but they don't have to taste like 7 bucks . Martini was ok, overly watered down and def could need improvement. Still love the vibe here just know what to get next time. read more

Neumanns Bar - Bar - Bars Near Me - North Saint Paul, Minnesota

Small town bar feel right when you walk in. They have good amount of seats inside and a nice patio with an outdoor bar as well. The night I was there, there was live music and deals on hotdogs! It looked like every day of the week had a different drink or food special. Bar food for sure, nothing spectacular to write about. Our bartender was nice given that is was very busy! read more

Food is overpriced. They say ANY BURGER TOPPING is free but charge more for some. Smallest burger patty I have ever seen. Little fake bits of filler in the burger. read more

Known as the oldest bar in Minnesota, Neumanns is an institution in the Saint Paul area. There is a certain charm and character to this local dive bar that I just couldn't get enough of. The space is low lit and filled with plenty of wood and historic fixtures with a small cooktop in the back and a patio off to the side. I stopped in on a Monday durning happy hour to enjoy their half price burger special and a few beverages. The burgers are said to be famous and I was excited. Now, don't go getting your expectations too high. This is a BAR burger that uses what looks to he a frozen patty and pretty generic toppings. However, it is made with a lot of love and honestly tasted fantastic. And on HH, my burger was $5.75. Seriously can't beat that. I also ordered a few whisky sodas on HH at the unbelievable prices of $2.50 a piece. That is simply unheard of. Happy hour offers $1 off drinks so even at full price you are looking at $3.50. ZERO price gouging here. If you are into small, local, dive bars this is the spot to go. I would absolutely recommend this place and certainly will be back. read more

Very fun little bar. Great vibe! The bar food was awesome. We had the pretzels, Jim Neumann burger and tots. Would definitely go back. They had live music that was a little loud for the small area and played 80s music if thats your genre. read more

Their specials are amazingly low priced (as is their regular menu). Love their Coney Dogs (on special 3 days a week for $8.50 for 2 dogs and fries) and the M-F burger basket for $8. This place is a classic bar, the oldest continuously operating bar in Minnesota I believe. Decor is classic, has a tin ceiling, classic beer signs and the like. It can get really busy at times, super crowded l, as a random Saturday where I went in for Coney Dogs- the place was overflowing with bikers standing all over the place. It can also get really loud- I felt like I probably got hearing damage from the raucous noice levels of the bikers. The place is great overall. Staff is friendly, decent selection of beers mostly focused on people pleasing domestics and some craft beers (they are in the Pub Pass too). Check it out for some tasty bar food, just be aware you may have to change your mind and walk across the street to Mac's if the place is elbow to elbow busy. read more

Another stop on our PubPass tour. We golfed at Keller and decided to try out Neumann's. The beer was good but be aware that the beer is not their own brew. We opted for burgers and they were fantastic. I had a burger with fried onions. Husband had the Jim Neumann burger (appropriately). He chose tots (extra charge) and I had the standard fries. Fries where the skinny crispy version and they were great. We sat on the patio which was perfect. There was a nice breeze keeping the patrons cool. Service was good. Parking was easy. Great dinner after a round of golf. read more

I went here with Debra R, Jose R and a couple of people a few days ago. I got the cheeseburger with cheese curds on the side. Debra R got a burger with a salad. Jose R got a burger with fries. and the people in the group also got burgers with fries. The food was pretty good. The cheese curds were a bit oily and not crunchy enough. The inside was still pretty. read more

Ambiance is great, so is food!! A good old place in NSP!!! This bar has been in the same location since way back!!

Great small neighborhood bar atmosphere! Service was awesome and the burger and fries was so small bar yummy!!

Worth the trip to say you have been to the oldest bar in Minnesota. Fun place to visit with great casual bar food specials. Nothing fancy or pretentious here, just an old bar with a neighborhood vibe. Lots of regulars. Great service and cheap beers. You can't go wrong with the basics. Bonus experience hitting a $500 pull tab winner read more

Neumanns Bar - Bars Near Me - North Saint Paul, Minnesota

I've had a good day-drinking divey experience at Neumann's in the past, but our last experience was inexcusable. My friend and I were sitting at the bar (some of the few if not only young women there), and some random guy bought us some shots, which we did not want. The bartender asked us to pay and we told him we did not order them, did not want them, did not drink them, and so we didn't think we should pay for them. His reaction was to swiftly kick us out. We said we'd pay for them (but not drink them) if we could just stay, but he just shouted, "Get out! Get out!", while the skeezy dude was allowed to stay. A woman manager came over and said the bartender was having a bad day, but he acted in a similar hot-headed way to another one of my friends recently. She gets the stars in this review because she apologized and offered to buy us a drink next time we came in, but of course I have no plans to come back. I used to like this historic watering hole, but I felt like we were punished for being hit on by a random dude, and women should absolutely be protected in that situation. read more

Scratch my last review. The bartender here is awful and ill-mannered. Below is a summary of my 2 most recent visits here. The first visit: I walked up to the bar with my husband to order some drinks. Before we even had a chance to order, a paranoid/intoxicated man started screaming at my husband for no reason. The bartender then refused to serve us and kicked us out. The second visit: A random man ordered my friend and I drinks which we did not ask for. We didn't drink the shots and left them on the bar top. The rando refused to pay for them because we did not give him our phone numbers. The bartender dumped the shots down the sink. We even offered to pay for those drinks, but the male bartender raised his voice at us and demanded we leave. He kicked us out, and let the random creepo stay. A female employee overheard and apologized for the bartender's behavior. Gist of the story: I will not be returning. And I advise others to stay clear of Neumann's! read more

Fantastic service. Great cozy bar. The food was OK. Highly recommend it to unwind, all the patrons seemed very friendly. Bill

We went to Neumann's bar on a Monday during happy hour and the burger baskets were half off. Service was great. The place was packed but we found a place to sit. The burgers are solid. The french fries are awesome. Beers were more expensive than rail drinks which surprised us. But the beers were not expensive either. Overall terrific value, terrific ambience, terrific service. Highly recommend. read more

They rope you in with happy hour specials, but unless you're drinking panther piss booze or Hamms beer, don't waste your time! I had tacos which were okay. My wife had a hamburger and said Culver's burgers are better! Don't waste your time!! read more

First time visit. My wife and I have always wanted to check our due to her maiden name being the same (no relation) I tried the fish tacos and my wife had the regular tacos. Both of us enjoyed the food. A new twist is that before COVID-19, Neumanns did not accept credit cards. Now with the acceptance of credit cards, there is a fee added for using a credit card. I definitely will go back to try some more of the menu. read more

Neumanns Bar - The oldest bar in MN! - Bars Near Me - North Saint Paul, Minnesota

We stopped in here specifically because it is the oldest bar in Minnesota. We had driven in from Milwaukee, so we were pretty tired & didnt stay long. It is a very cool old bar, very friendly place,beers were cold ,we didn't eat but food looked tasty. It has an outdoor patio area also. read more

I love a 'no-bullsh*t' bar. No ego, no pretentiousness, no frills. Just tried-and-true beers and bar food in a cozy wooden cabin bar.

Love this bar - not the greatest beer selection - but if you love a small-town feel and a cool low-key bar with decent food and awesome people watching - this is the place. read more

Neumann's is the kind of old school joint that I feel is slowly fading away with time. A place where the beer list isn't 3 pages long. A place where a guy can go and have a few drinks without breaking a $50. A place where the bartender doesn't run for a shot glass or a jigger to pour a cocktail. A place where you only need to see the menu once because it hasn't changed in 50 years. A place that is, or was, on every main street of every small town in Minnesota. This is my place. Billed as the oldest continually running bar in Minnesota I just had to come take it all in. (and take in a few $2 drinks) I even got a history lesson on the place from the back of the menu. Come check out their patio, daily specials, and pet frogs. If you're anything like me you'll appreciate and love this place. I'll be back for sure. p.s check with your doctor to make sure your heart is ready to enter the bathrooms ;) read more

Neumann's Bar, at 127 years young, was the location for Matt G's UYE: Happy Hour V4: Sunday Funday and it was a great choice. Our group enjoyed Sunday Drink Specials ($2 for pretty much any drink from 2-4pm and 8-10pm), live music, and food, food, food! If it was fried, we ordered it and we were not disappointed. French fries, fried pickles, onion rings, tater tots (which were some of the best I've ever had: crispy on the outside and soft, like real mashed potatoes, on the inside) were devoured quickly. The 1/3 lb. burger was simple but delicious. The burgers are $1 on Mondays with a drink purchase. Know before you go: Divey, cash only bar with an ATM on site; Weekly food specials, Sunday Drink Specials, rotating calendar of live music; Clientele leans towards bikers and regulars. Check Neumann's event calendar on the web before you go. Vintage nude art in the ladies' and mens' restrooms. read more

Neumanns Bar - African bullfrogs, vintage pictures, $2 drinks from 2-4, great burgers - Bars Near Me - North Saint Paul, Minnesota

Some friends and I were doing a movie marathon at the nearby Marcus Theaters. We were looking for a place with craft beers, tater tots, and a dress code that included yoga pants and sweatshirts. This fit the bill. I was excited to see that 90 Schilling was on the menu, as well as the regular staples and some other popular craft options. We ordered a big tub of tots and sat for awhile, enjoying he local banter. My reason for the docked stars is twofold: some of the tater tots were still cold inside, and we had a hard time flagging down our server to order them. We ended up ordering from the cook. We will be back to see if we have better luck next time, as this is one of the better townie bars in the area. read more

Nothing too special, just your hole in the wall bar. We came for a late lunch and had our toddler with us, no high chair. Reminded me to keep our portable one in the car. A lot of regulars were there. There was a $5 burger special, 1/4 pound with 5 toppings, and fries for $5. My husband got that, said it was good. I had the reuban, I thought it was pretty tasty, and fries. They only accept cash but do not provide an atm. Check out the tank of frogs near the front entrance. read more

I had a good time here. The bartender was really sweet and made us feel welcome. The beers were cold and the live music was good. Don't expect a fancy atmosphere, it's a biker bar with a nice smoking patio. read more

A classic Minnesota burger bar, but unfortunately the same kind of care that goes into a place like the Nook is not here. Good burger, but nothing special. read more

My mother, sister and I had lunch here and it was really fun. We had burgers, which were delicious. The beer was cold and my 93 yo mother ordered ordered TWO beers! And drank them both. This is a woman who usually asks if she can have a sip, or pours a little into her glass from yours LOL. We are looking forward to coming in the summer to the outdoor patio, which looks very appealing. I really enjoyed the history of the bar on the back of the menu. Very funny! read more

I really like numanns. My dad's girlfriend brought me here on one of the nights they were offering cheap burgers. I was just in there tonight , and my experience was the same.. nothing but exceptional! Flat out outstanding! It's a smaller cozy place to eat and the decor is really neat. It's like biker aroma with a little bit of 'back in the day's atmosphere. It's hard to explain, but its pretty cool inside. I heard in the men's bathroom they have it decked out in 1950's 'soft porn' photos. Lol, cool yet a little strange. . Waitresses we're very quick, polite, and funny. I will be coming back. read more

This bar and the people that frequent it, are the only reason I stayed in Minnesota. There are many iconic and historic bars in the Twin Cities, but this one has a uniqueness in and of itself thanks to its owners that maintain what Mr. Neumann wanted it to be. There's a book in a case I was allowed to review documenting the oldest continuously running bar in the State's history that said it best. Mr. Neumann refused to close the bar on Thanksgiving because he knew this was the only family some of his patrons had to share the holiday. The Brown Family that owns the bar today is Okie quality and the salt of the Earth. They love their patrons and treat them as family which is carried from the "old timers" that have been coming here for 30-40 years to the newcomers like my first mate and I (my dog) that continues to build on this tradition. I've been a loving and dedicated customer of this bar (I don't even like calling it so because it becomes so much more) and coming from the south, I will say I've found my family of the north. I'm an Okie so I can speak for Mr. Toby Keith with pride and honesty and say, "I love this bar, it's my kind of place. Just rolling through the front door, puts a big smile on my face." It's impossible to better my bar and the family we have...who even welcomed a dumb redneck . read more

Cozy, friendly bar. Plain but not a dive. Supposedly the oldest bar in Minnesota. Dunno about that, it had a tin ceiling and moose heads on the walls. Listened to Black Cat Bone playing blues, loud but fun. Food here is great greasy bar fare. Stopped here Tuesday evening after bicycling with a group. Daily special was 3 coneys for $5. It's an insane amount of food, not just three hot dogs--nope, three coarse-ground sausages on buns smothered with chili and cheese. Several people shared. BLT sandwiches are ginormous things on Texas toast with iceberg lettuce and tons of thick-cut bacon spilling out. Fries here were not my fave but a woman in my group said, "I like these because they're a little overcooked." I read negative reviews about this place saying it was a biker bar. Don't believe it. There were a few bikes in front but a nice mix of patrons from twenty somethings thru bikers to middle-aged suburbanites. Everyone seems welcome here. Service was super friendly, quick, and accommodating. read more

What a wonderful discovery. We are enjoying exploring some new bars thanks to our 2016 Pub Pass. I used to live in St. Paul and never even found this little area or bar in the past. They have bullfrogs, live music, a juke box, variety on the menu, and spirits and beer to wash it all down with. Our bar host of the day Marissa was the bombdiggity. She works hard and delivers service with a great attitude. I enjoyed a cheeseburger and could sit at the bar and watch it being cooked right in front of me. The guy working the grill was just busy as a bee that day and I have to say we were impressed with the hard work we witnessed and enjoyed listening to some jukebox tunes and chatting up the locals for a bit. Great bar! read more

I love this place. Burgers are awesome and drink prices are reasonable. They also have a daily food special and they are often very good although I do periodically get something that makes me wish I had just ordered a burger. I've seen complaints about service and the biker clientele. My advice is to avoid the times when there is a biker event. Its pretty obvious when they occur since there will be dozens of high end Harleys out front. If the place is packed, the service suffers....just like any bar. My experience with the staff and patrons has always been good. There are a couple that might seem slightly rude or come off a little short with customers but again I think its just the result of getting busy. Everybody I've seen working here provides great service. I'm certainly not a regular but everytime I walk in I feel welcome. Its a friendly, comfortable place with great food and good drinks. Just remember to bring cash and avoid the crowds. read more

I LOVE this bar! Neumans= inexpensive drinks, good bar food, & a fun ambiance & mix of people. My choice for Sunday Funday! & whenever I am in the area. Neumans is a small bar with claims to being the oldest bar in MN. Bikers frequent this bar, but so does everyone else in NSP. There is a small stage for live music, a cute alley-way patio off the west side of the building, & live frogs in a pond in the the front window. Still haven't quite figured out why the frogs are there, but I have come to appreciate them :) The drinks are cheap & the bar food is good, featuring all things fried (cheese, pickles, etc.), burgers, & sandwiches. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

Love Neumans. Very friendly staff. The cooks work the griddle behind the bar and are a good bunch. Bartenders are outgoing and competent. The food is great if you're into greasyspoon-type burgers and such. In fact, they're very good. The BLT's are huge and on texas toast. This bar is Cash Only- no cc's no debit and no checks. They do have an onsite ATM though. read more

Good food and cold Hamms, Frank is a top notch tender.

Went to Neumanns bar Saturday about 2 pm sat at high top table waited about 15 -20 minutes and decided to leave, I guess neymanns doesn't need our money that much. Glad business is doing so well that they can ignore customers. read more

Being in the restaurant business I know a bit about customer service and quality of product. If I were to own a tavern it would definitively be modeled after Neumann's. We were a party of four from Mpls, and stumbled on to Neumann's after a recommendation by one of the local merchants. Melody, our server was totally unbelievable the chef visited our table to make sure we were pleased. Being a vegetation the chef went to extra work to make certain my sandwich was not prepared on the grill with the hamburgers the rest of our party was eating, and all of this during their Monday night happy hour. It's been a very, very long time since I have experienced such great customer service. And by the way the food well worth the trip from Mpls. Guy's don't change a thing, KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING Definitely 5 *****. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the Coney's and Fries special. The flat top was pretty full with burgers and buns. Took a bit to get room to grill up 2 dogs. After 20 minutes my order was served. Two Coney's and handful of Fries. The fries could be real good, but they were not hot. That made them a disappointment. The Coney's were decent. Nice meaty sauce, instead of a saucy sauce that is very popular in others Coney joints. The natural casing beef dogs were regular size instead of the 10 to a pound size. The dogs were hot enough, but the coney sauce could have been a bit warmer also. Didn't notice what brand buns they use, but they could have been a bit larger to hold the dog, sauce, cheese and onions. All in all, I think the coney's are decent but for me a bit more seasoned sauce. Long ago, I visited this place quite often. In those days, they did not have much for food. Pickled Eggs is all I remember. Maybe beer nuts too. But we were not there for food. Cheap pitchers was good for us !!! Probably $1.50 a pitcher of domestic tap beer. I did have to use the restroom and be reminded of the nice art work on the walls. A couple of vintage nudies and a deck of nudie cards. Not sure if these are paintings or photos of actual ladies. But very classy pictures. The story is they used to have a picture of a handsome guy in the ladies room with only a fig leaf covering up his man parts. Story is, if a woman lifted the fig leaf a buzzer went off for all patrons to hear. Typically, she would come out all red faced . Never knew about that in my earlier days. But then not many woman went there either. Nice place to hang out with a few friends for some beverages and ok priced foods. One dollar burgers on Monday nights with a beverage purchase. Extras are extra but not sure how much. Wonder if a soda qualifies as a beverage purchase? Dine in only on this special. No getting a dozen burgers for a boys night out at someones house. read more

Pluses: * It's a neighborhood bar with a lot of history, so it has a good vibe. * It's inexpensive. * Dollar Burgers (greasy!) on Monday evenings. Minuses: * Service can be weak. * It can get crowded. Recent example: I ordered a beer at the bar and offered my credit card. The bartender told me that it's cash only. Period. Not another word. Another bar patron, who was standing next to me and heard this, graciously pointed me to an ATM in the back. We were both bemused that the bartender didn't offer me this information. I guess the bartender wasn't strongly motivated to sell me a beer. read more
