City PagesAugust 5, 2014Twin Cities sports bars are understandably barren territory for fans of out-of-state sports teams, but Gabe's by the Park is happy to provide an oasis. Read more

I like this bar....its a blue collar bar...not a prissy lets get super dressed up and pay 3x the amount for drinks. Its a bar...not a club and so far the service has been great.- Maureen McLaughlinFebruary 20, 2020Great stop for lunch with large selection of American favorites: hamburgers, soups and salads as well specials.
RichardMarch 30, 2019Friendly service an food was nicely prepared and tasty with just the right portions.- Joe and Pete are the best bartenders ever friendly staff great food. Ask for the Mac & cheese rib sandwich it's not on the menu but it's amazing
AndrewJune 11, 2011The Original Gabe's By The Park is a neighborhood bar and grill located on the edge of Como Park. Giggles is glad to be back!!
Good burgers and fries. Also love the pizza fries. Sandwiches are kind of mediocre.
Chad DavisSeptember 20, 201113 HD big screen TVs with theater surround sound to get the full game day experience.
Randy DuxApril 30, 2011I overheard a waitress telling a trainee how to lie when claiming tips. I understand that happens, but have enough class not to say it within ear shot of customers!
Steve SiskaJanuary 25, 2015Only reason to come here is the free shuttles to various events. Food was good but service was piss poor. Eat somewhere else then have a drink at the bar waiting for the shuttle
Eric HohertzFebruary 11, 2012Don't sit at the bar, the bar tender with the captain America hat will be a dick to you for no reason.
Roll the dice on you're food. Count on you're carry out order to be wrong!
Gabe WatkinsJune 6, 2014Pure utter crap! Truthfully we only went there because it shares my name... I have never been so appalled by service and horrible food. Everything ordered tasted only of salt. Stay away!
Alisha HillstromAugust 29, 2012I would never go here again. WOW, reservations at 11:15am and food brought to the table at 12:30pm. Ridiculous. Our wild rice soup was cold and chunky. I don't think it was cooked through at all.
I gotta say I've been here about 5 times w/ my softball team and the service gets worse every time. Is it too much to ask the waitress to walk around the table to take orders instead of making me yell
Danielle DuCheminMarch 3, 2012Service from Kellie was less than mediocre...she made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Missed out on a great tip because of it.
jonesieAugust 27, 2012Home of the world's worst service! They serve up crappy bar food with an extra side of attitude for no extra cost.
DaveJune 14, 2013Bad service, the place wasn't even busy and I was ignored. They didn't even say thank you, I won't be back.
- Anderson CleanersFebruary 2, 2011Now officially the worst bar in St. Paul. Apparently, old owner coming back...stay away until certain. NO tap beer, few bottles.
