Dark Horse Bar & Eatery

The Lowertown restaurant nails the St. Paul feel at first blush, and the eccentric, worldly menu will lure you in with options like the apple serrano burger and blackened halibut. The buttery Brussels sprouts are enough to get the kids to eat their greens, and the traditional flatbread pizzas are a favorite. The bar is the heart of the room with 40 American beers on tap, plus nearly 90 varieties of whiskey.
