The Happy Gnome is a pleasent hangout in St. Paul known for exceptional beers(140, about 40 on Tap), chill-attitude owners/staff, and a great patio. The Gnome is very popular with people from the neighborhood and a long list of regulars that come for top shelf liquors and to try any number of micro-brewed beers.



They've also started to get noticed for the food; great heaping plates of gourmet bar food including fresh cut fries, burgers, pastas, and pizzas.



Music is everything from the Grateful Dead and jazz to today's Top 40, but they do an excellent job of finding something everyone will like, so don't ever worry about not liking the music here. Sit, enjoy yourself in your large booth or at the marble bar, The Happy Gnome is a place you will always fit-in at and love.



Planning a party? Happy Gnome has banquet space for 100.

This is pretty much my favorite bar in the cities. Amazing beer + gnome decorations = perfect. I was sad when I moved too far away to walk there regularly. The parking lot is big, but often not big enough -- street parking is decent.

Good beer selection, but every pour comes with a serving of snide. I'd be a regular, but I can't stand the level of self-worship here.

Atmosphere is good but don't order the seared Tuna. Food is hit or miss.

My sis loves little gnomes for decoration in her garden. i found your resturant in the mpls/st. paul magazine. we had a great lunch on the patio. Server helped us with the perfect beer. Appt bruchetta and apple salad unbelievable good! Can't believe we hadn't found you years ago since we are from St. Paul! We are telling our friends to visit. You never know when a littl gnome might show up in one of your flower pots!

I really wanted to like this place, but then they charge a dollar more for the same beer I get at the Bulldog or Busters. The service was slow too.
