First opened prior to the Civil War by Bavarian immigrant Anton Waldmann and his wife (Wilhel)Mina, Waldmann is the oldest surviving saloon building in the Twin Cities. Meticulously restored to its frontier grace and simplicity, Waldmann once again welcomes all with the warmth of its wood stoves, lamplight and traditionally-crafted house-made lagers, wursts and other honest fare. Waldmann is a humble, memorable place—full of stories and tradition that just may inspire you to make a few of your own.
IF A LAGER BREWER OF 1857 WOKE UP IN SAINT PAUL TODAY, WHAT BEERS WOULD THEY MAKE ON OUR MODERN SYSTEM?
We start with classic German styles, use as much traditional malts and noble hop varieties as we can source, then add some heritage-inspired malts and hops for that New World experience. The result—a modern interpretation of classic styles, informed by tradition and place.
Slow food values and frontier traditions honored here!
The essential German-American immigrant combination of “Wurst und Bier” is celebrated at Waldmann, originating in 1857 and re-invigorated in 2017. Crafted with pride and with ingredients that would not be unfamiliar to Anthony Waldmann. Natural – because that was sensible then and remains so now. Local – because that was and is the most practical answer. Our award-winning bratwurst and curry-brat are manufactured locally using our original recipe with veal and pork sourced from Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota.
Large Groups
Waldmann is a small establishment dedicated to time honored traditions in craft brewing and culinary Americana. While we do our best to accommodate all groups, our space is limited by the physical dimensions of a time with simpler luxuries. As such, we charge a 20% auto-gratuity on the total bill for all parties of 8 or more. Additionally, walk-in parties of 12 or more are subject to a 5% large party fee. For ease of service and out of respect for all our guests, parties of 8 or more will be kept to a single tab.
