'Timeless' Minnesota Eatery Named 'Most Historic Restaurant' In The State

Some restaurants serve food; others serve history with every plate.

Timeless and charming, the most historic restaurant in Minnesota has become a beloved fixture, offering a meaningful connection to the past. With roots reaching back through decades of change, it has welcomed generations of guests who return not only for the flavors, but for the memories. From the vintage décor to the time-honored recipes, every detail tells a story. It’s a place where tradition is preserved, where locals bring visitors to share a piece of history, and where the pace of life seems to slow, if only for a meal.

While new restaurants rise and fall, this enduring Minnesota gem continues to thrive by staying true to what made it special in the first place. 

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the most historic restaurant in Minnesota is Neumann’s Bar & Grill in North St. Paul.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the most historic restaurant in the entire state:

"Saloon vibes abound at Neumann’s Bar & Grill. The place that calls itself Minnesota’s oldest saloon was established by Bill Neumann in 1887, with a view to selling beer to the small but thirsty local community. Neumann’s survived the Prohibition era thanks to a savvily located speakeasy and today is more popular than ever, serving up pitchers of icy beer and daily specials – think burgers, tacos, and Coney dogs – alongside live music and a welcoming atmosphere."
