Read MoreI recently stopped by Alary’s in downtown St. Paul on a Chicago Bears game day, and the energy in the place was absolutely electric! As a Bears bar here in Minnesota, it’s a great spot to catch the game with other fans—it felt like a mini Chicago right in the heart of St. Paul.
I tried a few things off their menu, starting with the Ketel One Blueberry Mule, which was refreshing and tasty—a perfect drink for unwinding.
For food, I had the Brisket & Smoked Queso Sandwich, which was hands-down my favorite. The brisket was tender and flavorful, and their sauces took it to another level. Speaking of sauces, I also tried their Smoked Wings, paired with a variety of their house-made options: Mississippi Comeback, Strawberry Jalapeño, Jerk BBQ, and Petey’s BBQ Championship. Each sauce had its own unique flair, but the Strawberry Jalapeño stood out for its sweet and spicy twist.
I heard they make a killer banana pudding, so that’s definitely on my list for next time! The ambiance of Alary’s is another highlight—you can feel the history in the space, which gives it a charming and authentic vibe.
The service was also top-notch. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed, even on a busy game day, which really added to the experience.
One thing that makes Alary’s stand out is the convenience they offer. They provide validated evening and weekend parking in the ramp next door, and even run shuttles to and from all major events in Saint Paul, including Wild games, Saints games, concerts, and downtown events. You can park for free and ride with them, which is such a game-changer.
If you’re into trivia, don’t miss their Bar Trivia, which isn’t just limited to evenings. It’s a great way to enjoy some good food and drinks while testing your knowledge any time of day!
Whether you’re here for the food, drinks, or the lively atmosphere, Alary’s is definitely worth a visit, especially on game day. I’ll be back soon to try that banana pudding!
