The Best Beer-Bar in Minnesota

So what exactly is a beer-bar?

According to Thrillist, "a true beer-bar obsesses over beer and caters to those who do the same."

The website says St Paul's Happy Gnome is the best beer-bar in Minnesota. Here's how Thrillist described it:

Despite the diminutive name, you'll want to arrive here with a giant-sized appetite, because not only is the 70-strong draft list (helpfully broken down into categories like "hoppy" or "sessionable") deep on Midwest favorites reliably on point, but the burgers are also not to be missed -- try the one with the short rib braised in Surly Coffee Bender. Better yet -- have that burger and beer (or let’s be real, beers) on the patio when the Minnesota weather permits, because let's be honest, there's no better state to be in between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

So what's the best beer-bar in Rochester?

My vote goes to Whistle Binkies.

Binkies was named the best overall bar in the state a couple of months ago.
