What People Are Saying About Glockenspiel

In Short – Housed in a Czech and Slovak fraternal hall that's a designated historic landmark, Glockenspiel's location fits its spirit. There's murals of bucolic Old World farm scenes and German script on beer tap handles. Royal blue tablecloths that match the servers' aprons as well as the light fixtures on the tin ceiling. Five of eight menu entries feature pork, plan on eating pork, but there's also a fish platter, chicken pork shank and cabbage.

Such a disappointment
by Lillietta at Citysearch
So disappointed! I ordered the Schweinbraten and the pork was old! My friend ordered the Jagerbraten (I think it's called - or Jagetschnitzel) and that wasn't good either - very plain. The decor and atmosphere is so very promising and none the food was fresh, including the red cabbage. If only the menu would live up to the decor. Felt very ripped off. Fresh food is badly needed with much better seasoning.
- Pros: Lovely ambience and decor
- Cons: Bad food

Best German Food
by youngtcer at Citysearch
The servers are down-to-earth, the portions are good...you pay a little more for the quality and the 'ethnic' experience. But it's worth it. This is as St.-Paul as it gets. Great location, they will even accomodate mid-sized groups with a reservation. Very pleasant experience all-around if you like German food or beer. Nothing bad to say!
- Pros: Authentic German Food, great atmosphere and location near downtown St. Paul
- Cons: Hard to find

Great Selection, Fun Atmosphere

I read the most recent reviews and was a little worried but a friend and I were going to be in the area and as she works at another local German restaurant, we decided to go and compare anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is extensive and differs from Gastof's menu (I was hoping they weren't the same), the tap and imported bottled beer list has a good variety, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I've never had Spargeltoast before but believe I will be returning for more! The large windows and German trinkets makes for a bright, cozy feel and the bar brings aged charm to the place. WIth light fare running $8 - $13 and entrees for $12 - $20, I would bring anyone curious about German food in to St Paul to the Glockenspiel. I cannot account for authenticity, but my taste buds certainly were pleased!
- Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Parking lot available
