    I had such a great time at Gnome Pub in St. Paul! The mimosa flight was amazing—such a fun way to try different flavors. Plus, they have a really solid selection of beers, so there’s something for everyone. The vibe of the place is relaxed and cozy, which makes it perfect for hanging out with friends or just enjoying a quiet drink. Didn't eat so no review of food.

    I suggested The Gnome to a friend because I remembered a cozy fireplace on the 2nd level. But not only was that unavailable, we found the restaurant to be uncomfortably cold on a January afternoon. The food was very good and the service was fine, but I guess I’ll just limit future visits to the excellent patio in warm weather.

    Super nice staff. Good enough rail choices. Hardly any gluten-free options. The prices were fine. Seems like a great place to just hangout. I never saw any real-life gnomes tho

    Has off street parking. I had the fried chicken and biscuits, was so good! Good seasoning, hot, and yummy. I also had the grapefruit mamosa, also very good. Server was very attentive. Limited brunch menu but everything we had we liked.
