    Love their tree!!

    Are you looking for German food? A quaint little spot? A place that feels like you are being transported to somewhere other than Saint Paul? This is your place!! It's nestled in between other houses, so if you don't pay attention, you could miss it! This is street parking and make sure you watch for signs so you don't get a ticket! There is no reservation option, so be prepared to possibly wait, as this is not a large place. With that being said, not plan on staying super long either. This is not the place to just sit after your meal and chat. There will be others waiting for your table! Plan on a max of 60-85mins. The service here was good. They treated you like you were a regular, which added to the cozy feeling of this place! We sat at the bar. My boyfriend got some beer and he loved it! The bread and butter was very simple but perfectly done! The sausages here are delish! The walleye tasted fresh and the veggies were perfectly cooked! Overall, this was a very fun little spot to find in Saint Paul and definitely with the trip!

    Great service, amazing vibes, I love this place (except that I always spend a pretty penny when I go here). I love the food here. The platter is great for trying a variety of things and I highly recommend sharing. Four brats doesn't seem like a lot of food but it really it. Definitely feeds 3-4 people. Also a great spot to just have a beer, bring your pet (patio), and chill.

    Fun, classic German beer spot with great service! In a small, warm, cozy space, they do table service with classic German food and beers. They have some wines as well, along with some non alcoholic options. The beer selection was a bit limited, and one beer was also tapped out. The food was super authentic, and our service was quick. It's got a dark bar vibe, so in the later evening probably not super family friendly, but we sat in a more private dining area and were offered a high chair, so we felt comfortable with a quiet baby. If she fussed, we likely would have stepped out to preserve the atmosphere - something to keep in mind! Great spot if you're craving a cozy beer bar.

    History, charm, ambiance - this place has it all. We've been here many times and it is a local gem to say the least. This particular visit was for the German New Years toast! The gorgeous tree, fire pits a-blazing, folks bundled up and enjoying the outdoors, all to bring in 2026 with a festive toast! The chilled beers and mulled wine were flowing and the restaurant was also buzzing with good eats and warm seats! This crew is always friendly and welcoming.

    Great beer, good food, amazing patio, all with a little history to the building. First, it is a brewery so I feel like I should mention the beer. I love the German styled beers! The Dunkel is fantastic! Beautiful dark lager that is malty and toasty without being too heavy. I also tried the Waldmann Pilsner and it didn't disappoint. This Pilsner is full of flavor and delicious. Food was really good. Both the Tangy Beet Salad with chicken and the House Schnitzel was very good. Both plates were generous portions. The Greek Yogurt and Feta were a good touch to the salad. The Schnitzel sat on a generous portion of Spatzle. The Spetzle is so good that it is almost the star of this dish. I love the historic charm to this place. The patio is beautiful and check out their music schedule I would love to watch an artist perform out on the patio. All of this with great service too!

    Loved visiting here! Their lager is one of my favorites -- super crisp and refreshing. The food is good but pretty basic -- more like beer-friendly snacks (sausages, chips, etc.) rather than full meals. The vibe is so cute, especially in the winter! Cozy, inviting, and definitely a great spot for a casual date night. I'll be back for the beer and atmosphere for sure!

    I've been to Waldmann twice now and had great experiences both times! Although the indoor seating is somewhat small, we were able to get tables for 3-5 people right away both times. The indoor seating is quaint and showcases its history. The outdoor patio is beautiful and quiet, with large picnic tables and smaller tables. The beer is good and the food is great! We recently got "Amos's Lunch" and added a pretzel. It was a great charcuterie spread. They didn't skimp on the meats and cheeses- it was enough for 5 to share! I am not usually a fish person, but I LOVED the smoked trout that came with it. The staff were super friendly. The one down side is it's mainly street parking, but that won't stop me from coming back!

    Good beer, great food.

    Olde building, intimate yet spacious seating, nice service, and the food was fulfilling/generous.

    The second floor, like the rest of the building is so cozy!

    If you like beer you have to go here! One of the oldest buildings in St. Paul let alone one of the oldest breweries. These people really know beer. So well crafted, so unique. You might as well be in Germany The food is good too and the ambience is just so unique. A real treasure!!

    Hubby and I were visiting from California and our friends took us there to explore a different cuisine and wow we love it all, my favorite was the wurst platter with the cabbage so good. The beer was very tasty. The place has so much history was constructed in 1857. The Waldmann stay true to their traditions if you are in Minnesota you must try. The service was wonderful, a very polite gentleman explaining every question we had and always with a smile on his face. The ambiance is perfect we were outside, they have a nice patio with cute flowers to look around. The only thing has no parking you need to look for one or paid for parking closer to the restaurant. But it's worth it..

    The band
    Jason S.

    One of our favorite places in St. Paul. Old-time brewery vibe with great beers and outdoor seating area. Personally I always get the lager as it is one of the better ones I've had. My wife gets one of the special NA soda options and is always happy. Honestly, she'd go here weekly if she could. Food is great. Italian beef and burger are excellent but we've had entrees before and have loved everything we've gotten. We always get the trout dip for appetizer. Excellent and the veggies with it stand in well for a salad. Service is always top-notch and professional. They had a band playing this night and we sat upstairs and it was pretty awesome to have the music in the background. We'll be back 100 times or more!

    Wonderful German fair. Fun and cozy Biergarten. Dunked beer and the halapeno cheddarwurst were excellent.

    I came here on a Tuesday afternoon in April for the first time and had a perfect experience from start to finish. I'm from out of town, but my sister lives nearby. We have both lived in Germany at various times in our lives, and we both love history, so a German themed brewery and restaurant in a 19th century German lager saloon is a no brainer for us. The interior is seriously impressive; from the period maps and pictures on the walls, the stereograph and other period pieces on the shelves, to the pinewood floors, wood burning stoves, whale oil lamps, etc, it's like stepping back in time. The love and care that went into restoring this building is commendable. I'm a huge beer nerd and I can genuinely say the beer was fantastic. My girlfriend joined us and between us we tried the Altbier, Bockbier, and the Schwarzbier. All were good but the Bockbier was truly outstanding. Highly recommend it. We also had the pretzel with cheese dip which was also excellent. According to their website, they also offer live music, brewery tours, and history events and lectures. I've been to St. Paul numerous times to visit my sister and am kicking myself that it took this long to come to Waldmann, but will definitely make up for it the next time I'm in town. Can't wait to come back.

    Yummmm. Bratwurst potato salad and good European beers

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.

You can still come and hangout even if you don't play bingo or if it's full but recommend RSVPing in advance It's fun- 10 rounds and a coverall at the end You win plants but if you tie with someone you usually get something- ex. Candy :) Check in at 5:45pm. Recommend getting there early to get a good seat especially if you have a bigger group Couch areas, tables, bar seating A vendor comes around with homemade burritos, tacos, tamales and rice for a good price!
