Groveland Tap

The Tap has started to grow on me over the years. No, I'm still not too likely to go out of my way to stop in, but for a neighborhood pub they're doing things pretty well.

The draught beer list remains fairly sizable and they've been doing an admirable job filling said tap lines with a number of local and regional craft beers (they also always have one cask conditioned ale). They also have wine, but don't bring your sommelier friend lest you be made to look a fool. Also, there's no hard stuff (i.e., liquor) to be found here due to this part of St. Paul's yearning to relive parts of prohibition.

Food remains standard bar fare with the typical Minnesota twists; burgers with cheese stuffed inside, wings, curds, fried fish, etc. While nothing is exceptional, it's fine for what it is, though the turkey burger or fish tacos are typically what end up in front of me.

Overall, it's a good neighborhood bar, which explains why it's usually quite busy.

It's true.  The cheesecurds here really are the best.

Very good burgers & bar food (get the cheesecurds!).
Great beer selection.
Fun atmosphere.  
Great place to watch a game or hang with some friends.  Can definitely get loud/crowded.

Great beer selection, bar food, and happy hour!  My only complaint:  the service can be a little spotty... For those of you who have sat in the back of the house during their evening happy hour, you know exactly which waitress I'm talking about. Super friendly :/ [sarcasm]
