The West 7th neighborhood combines gorgeous scenery with local tradition to form one of the city’s most eclectic areas. It stretches along the Mississippi River from Downtown to Fort Snelling. Artists, small business owners and craft brewers have transformed this neighborhood's once-vacant warehouses and empty storefronts into go-to, family owned and operated gathering spots. It's where you'll find iconic family-owned restaurants like Mancini's Char House and Lounge, Cossetta's and Bennett's Chop and Railhouse, along with local craft brewers Summit Brewing Co. and Bad Weather Brewing. *Description borrowed from visitsaintpaul.com.
