Editorial Review for Sweeney's Saloon & Cafe – by Jennifer Blaise
In Short
Located on a residential corner, this lively pub attracts a mix of singles, couples and families for lunch and dinner. Loud music keeps the saloon noisy and helps draw a late-night bar crowd. Plenty of TVs make Sweeney's a popular option on game day. The typical bar-food menu does offer a few surprises, (spaghetti in a spicy Sicillian sauce and juicy bugers). A decent beer list includes Blue Moon, Anchor Steam, Pilsner and Grain Belt.

Insider Tips
Look GoodTables are crowded together in and around the bar, but there's a quieter dining room for those who want to hold a conversation. Or, score a table on the spacious patio--it's a favorite summertime spot.

My husband and I met some friends on a very slow Sunday night. After waiting on the patio for 20+ minutes with no service (it was not very busy outside) we finally moved inside and sat at the bar. The bartender who was very nice, but very slow took our order and screwed it up. We ordered 2 sandwiches and had 2 tap beers each an the tab was $60. I grew up in Saint Paul and Sweeny's was one of my favorite hang-outs, but it really has gone down hill in the last few years. The food and service not worth the price!!
Pros: The Patio is beautiful
Cons: what's the point of a nice patio if you won't get served

The guy who bashed Sweeney's three times in a row to make it appear that he was more than one person was completely out of line. Sweeney's is great and doesn't cater to underage people nor does it need their business! It's one of the most successful bars in the twin cities for a reason.
Pros: Locale, Outdoor seating, Beer selection
Cons: Parking
