Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
Parlour St. Paul runs a cocktail-first program with 12 named drinks, a rotating 'Soup' of the Day, and spirit-forward staples like the Parlour Old Fashioned, Parlour Manhattan, and Barrel Roll. Beer gets equal attention with 12 tap lines, local Minnesota breweries, and a rotating tap. Wine is a compact bubbles-to-red list, and the non-alcoholic section stands out with named zero- and low-ABV cocktails. Cocktail classes and the Bacardi-sponsored Daiq Off add a layer of engagement beyond the menu.
- What should I order?

- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who cares about a well-made cocktail and wants a serious beer list alongside it, as well as non-drinkers looking for more than a token mocktail.
