Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery

Street parking although the brewery has 6 parking spaces at the end of the alley on the right side. It's in a residential area, one of the oldest in the city, directly off of W 7th st (which is the main drag) Cool historic building that's sort of like an old house. The patio & biergarden are nice. They brew Lagers. Very traditional and Germanic. The beers are excellent and the food is fantastic. A really unique, interesting and historic vibe. Nice employees & staff overall. Small selection and high quality. It is excellent.

 

Tiny and cozy spot in the St. Paul metro area. Retro building to a bygone era. A nice german style of taps are offered. I went with the dunkel. If you want to experience the charm of an old time public house, this is a place to check out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

An old building by Minnesota standards. Has a bit of the feeling of one of those English pubs with staircases and hidden nooks of seating. Probably the closest thing to the old world you will find in place around these parts. Rustic furniture fills the space. Not really a place to hang out with friends at a bar. It is mostly table service with little, if any bar space. Food was good but I thought a bit pricey for what a person receives. Also the tableware is too small for the meal. You hear a lot of silverware hitting wooden tables as it gets knocked off the plates. The German style beer is outstanding.

A pre civil war lager house reopened to do the same. You walk in and its a step back in time. Two floors with several rooms ,period lighting,fixtures and furniture old pictures and history on the wall brewery is on the rear side along with the kitchen. Looks like an outside patio is being built and a garden area to grow hops. Lagers only on tap with about six offerings both upstairs and downstairs, a unique brewpub and one that i thoroughly enjoyed.

 

Cozy atmosphere. Converted home offers dining in smaller rooms for an intimate setting. Menu is limited to wurst and a few small plates. As a big guy I found their chairs a bit tight. Small stand up bar and beer to go as well.

 

this place is so cool! right when you think the cities cant support yet another brewery, and right when you think they are all starting to feel the same anyway, a place like this comes along and changes all of that! its in a very cool and quaint old house with some historical significance, although i do not recall any more detail (we were drinking...). its cozy as can be in here, with a ton of restoration work done, obviously with a great deal of attention to detail. quick views back to the brew house show horizontal lagering tanks, dont see a lot of those around. the bar area is tiny, just a few seats, 6 or 8 beers on tap, all german style lagers of various colors. the place retains a lot of rustic european minimalist charm, with some period wood fireplaces heating it, gorgeous wooden features, and some old photos and trinkets from the mother land around. i love the low light, the homey floor plan, the warm heat and the smell of the wood, its perfect in the winter time, really gets me in the holiday spirit! there are so many cool little areas to sit, even the upstairs is open, mellow in here for sure, i just love the atmosphere. the beer is pretty solid, we enjoy a pilsener and a winter seasonal lager, both well made and interesting enough that these guys should do well. for me though, it was way more about the authenticity of the atmosphere than it was about the beer, i could have been drinking a miller light and still had a blast in here, really really loved it! folks said the food is excellent too, but we did not eat. i cant wait to return! not just another new brewery, this place has an awesome thing going on already!
