St. Paul Restaurants: Tom Reid's Hockey City Pub - Review

Getting To Know Tom Reid's: As seen on Tom Reid's Hockey City Pub's official website, "in Minnesota hockey, Tom Reid is recognized as someone who bridges the gap between past and present." A hockey analyst and former player from the Minnesota North Stars, Tom Reid has been an active part of the community for years. In his honor, Tom Reid's Hockey City Pub was developed and has grown into a popular local hangout for families, hockey fans and any sports fan looking for a place to stop and have a good time.

Located two blocks from the Xcel Energy Center, Tom Reid's is a perfect stop for any hockey fan or local sports fans, and also attracts the business men and women from downtown St. Paul, along with any visitors in the area. The location of this St. Paul restaurant is perfect if you are ever in the area.

Menu & Price: Tom Reid's offers your typical sports bar menu with burgers, sandwiches, wings, wraps, salads and your average variety of deep fried appetizers. You get great bar food for your money as the apps range from $6-$10 and your average entree will be less than $10. They also offer a "Little Mite" menu for the kids (12 and under) for $4.95. A soda is included in this price and a couple of the favorites are the chicken fingers or grilled cheese.

If you want to try out some local flavor, I would recommend the Wild Burger ($11.95). This bacon double cheeseburger will satisfy your hunger through an entire game. If you want to try something on the lighter side, you can not go wrong with the Hockey City Chili ($5.95) or a Buffalo Chicken Wrap ($9.95).

Like most sports bars, if you hit up Tom Reid's at the right time, you'll benefit from their specials and happy hour. 2-for-1s all day on Tuesdays and Fridays, or maybe you prefer the $6 pitchers and $3.99 appetizers on Thursdays. You'll also find specials during the Wild games and other major events. If you are stopping in and don't prefer the specials, you can expect to pay an average price compared to other downtown bars.
