    For pub crawlers, Sweeney's serves as brother bar to the nearby Muddy Pig, and its focus on low-cost happy-hour specials makes it an inexpensive nightcap. Read more

    Most of their food is WAY better than typical bar food--and you can get any of their specialty burgers with a turkey or black bean pattie, so there's a lot of options. And their 50-cent tacos are smal

    If you haven't been to Sweeney's, it's probably a good idea that you go. Happy hour is a great way to start with $3 Summit Pints and $0.50 Tacos every day from 3pm-6pm.

    Lunch special great. With the bar food and tap selection you might not guess that this is the best place to get soup... I know... I don't usually really like soup either, but it's very good.

    Easily one of the better patios in the area. Come here for the great beer and food!

    Great beer on tap, Chicken wings are a must-have. A little hipster, but worth a stop on a chill night! They show outdoor patio movies during the summer months.

    Sweeney's has the best patio in St Paul. Their Southwest Egg Rolls are amazing. Always get their ginger infused whiskey!

    Chicken "wings" not the usual bar fair. Really, the best wings I've had in the Twin Cities. And I'm not alone. Six wings feeds 2 people. Crowded seating but worth it.

    Late night food specials and a craft beer selection as well as a very popular patio make this a great warm weather haunt in the neighborhood.

    My favorite place to get chicken wings in town. During Patio season, this has one of the best in town. When it's still cool out they have heaters and a fireplace.

    I'd argue they have the best wings in town! During late night happy hour their wings are only 85 cents a pop.

    Go to Sweeney's and head straight to the patio (especially in the fall) and soak up the fire! Hands off the logs! You can get in trouble for that.

    60 cent wings after 9. They are huge and delicious! 50 cent tacos and 2.50 summits every day from 3-6. Service can be so-so.

    Bathroom Review: They just redid the bathroom, which used to have some terrific graffiti. The new one features a poorly placed hand dryer immediately next to the urinal, you can guess what happens.

    If you get Benjamin as your server, ask for a different one. Not really sure how he still has a job there by his lack of service.

    Crappy Service and missing alot of reagents required to make good cocktails. If you only want them to pour beer they are adept at that.
