Bugg's Place — Restaurant in South Saint Paul

Five stars because it's a small dive bar with pool tables. I don't know if they have food or not but they have really good deals on tall boys and you can play pool. Enough said. It's what a bar should be. I'm not a big drinker or anything but being able to drink and do something interactive like play darts, shoot pool, stuff like that is important when you're socializing. A lot of bars fail miserably on this principle, you don't have to sit drink and stare at the wall here like most bars. They have a stage and routinely have bands playing. This place is worth your business. The folks here seem friendly too, go here. I played 5 games of pool with random people who wanted to play. This being so close to the neighborhood's I'll bet you there's tons of locals and super regulars in here. One of the most glaring issues with a place like this is the bathrooms tend to be kind of nasty.

The stall in the mens bathroom has to be the most disgusting stall I've ever seen in my life. A pool of standing water/piss in front of the toilet, and impossible to maneuver in the stall without stepping in it. The smell is awful too. The rest of the place seems clean. The one bartender working when we were there was able to handle a group of 30+ patrons without anyone waiting too long for a drink. Anyways...OK place if your a local, but if not there are plenty of better places to try...

Great drinks, lovely patrons and bartenders, as well as a very well maintained bar. Management is eh. The blonde that claims she is the owner (she might be, I’m just not sure) talks ten thousand miles per minute about how great her bar is. Incessantly wiping tables that are already clean. Rolling her eyes at you when you mention that you noticed an early close one night, getting very aggressive. I don’t usually leave reviews. But she sketched me out. Ignore her...
