The Commodore Bar & Restaurant

Old-school St. Paul glamour in a room that has been doing it since the Fitzgeralds were neighbors. Wednesday and Thursday from four to six: fifteen dollars for any app (cheese curds, fries, lamb sliders, cauliflower) and sixteen dollars for any cocktail from the classic list. Wednesday and Thursday also get half-off wine bottles. The late-night Friday and Saturday window from nine to eleven is the one locals know.
