Bennett’s Chop & Railhouse

Specialties

In every city, there is a natural gathering spot for city folk and neighborhood people in the know. This place in Saint Paul is known as Bennett’s Chop & Railhouse. Located on West Seventh & Victoria, it is the perfect place to meet: A Restaurant and Bar of uptown and downtown, and of quiet neighborhood and big city lights. It’s called a chophouse because it specializes in a casual steakhouse atmosphere with top-​of-​the-​line cuts of the finest meats. It is a railhouse because it is on the old railroad line serving the city and rail drinks (as well as top brands) are served in the convivial atmosphere of the horseshoe bar. And of course Bennett’s is Bennett’s because owners Joe and Meghan Bennett ensure that welcoming hospitality is always served. They have taken their decades of experiences with leading hospitality brands and translated it into an intimate venue where you’re not only a customer, but more importantly, a welcome guest. From signature Bloody Mary’s and other cocktail bar favorites and favorite menu items to free shuttles to Wild games and concerts, there is always an open invitation to make a meal, a visit or an evening into a Bennett’s event!
