Oleander Saloon — Restaurant in Mankato

This is a Saloon and therefore a Dive that recently got upgraded with Cambria Fake Stone Counter Tops. The bar upstairs where Live Music is played is entirely separate.

Excellent (seriously) staff and management. Service is always fast - even when it's packed to the brim. Keep it...
