We stumbled upon A Side Public House through a google search of brunch spots in Saint Paul and I have to admit I was surprised I had never heard of this restaurant before. After a quick look at the menu I knew they were right up our alley so off we went. When we arrived I was excited to find out that the venue is an old fire station! Get all the details

StandardI went into the Minnesota State Fair with an ambitious list of new foods and drafted my line-up of three other people willing to help; Noelle, Lisa & Tom…as you probably already guessed, we did not make it all the way through the list haha. The hard part about new fair foods is that it doesn’t take into account all of your Minnesota State Fair food staples OR the copious amount of beer you’re going to be drinking.
I think we made a valiant effort and secretly am thankful of the rain that swept in around 5pm so that we had a legitimate reason to leave with our mission incomplete.
6 hours. 11 foods. 6-ish beers. Minnesota State Fair ✓
