Great for live music

A mainstay of Saint Paul and the Lowertown neighborhood, the Black Dog is an unpretentious, all-day gathering spot.

The Black Dog is known for live music (Jazz, World, Roots, Bluegrass) most every night and particularly for their Saturday nights. “Saturday Night Jazz at the Black Dog,” which features the best veteran Jazz musicians in the Twin Cities and special opening sets by up and coming jazz talent.

6 of us ate here last Saturday breakfast. Half our orders had things missing or switched. 2 of us had almost finished by the time everything else arrived - that was after enquiring what was taking so long. Things were cold when they arrived - who wants stone cold Eggs Benedict? To rectify the situation our server reluctanly reduced that one dish to half price despite it being inedible. Worst place I've had breakfast in the Twin Citites. I advise you stay away.

Expensive and horrible food. I paid $12 for a plate of undresses greens with something that resembled chicken. My husband order a cheese plate and was disappointed

The website makes breakfast and brunch seem much better than it is. There was no brunch on this Sunday, and the breakfast food was below average. This is more of a bar than a restaurant.

It was terrible. Will not go back. Worst and slowest service ever. We actually picked up our own drinks at the bar after wathcing the waitress leave them there for several minutes and it wasn't even busy.

The food was good but very small portions for the price! The service was absolutely horrible. It was almost 15 minutes before a server acknowledged us! Then it took another 15 minutes before we got our drinks! Our food took 30 minutes! The server came and asked if we wanted another drink and we ordered one and asked for water too. We never got the water. We had to literally flag the waitress down for our bill. She brought our bill and then never came back so we flagged the hostess/manager? down and handed it to her. We wanted to leave! Will not go back.

The service was very slow. Every single glass at our table was dirty as was the flatware. The food was cold and just not very good.
