Best Spot in White Bear Lake. The excellent selection of tap beers, the friendly servers and bartenders, the trendy atmosphere and the wonderful food keep me coming back to "The Wash". The decor rivals most places downtown, but the patrons here are much friendlier than most down towners. The patio is spacious and well maintained. A wood burning fireplace in the bar provides considerable ambience during the colder months.

There is an eclectic blend of live music on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The naughty buffalo wings pack just the right amount of zing, espcially when washed down with a pint of Bell's beer. A bloody mary (made from their own infused vodka) and a spinach omlette on a Saturday morning can't be beat. You won't be disappointed

Nice patio, average eats. This is a nice looking place in downtown WBL. The highlights are the nice patio, a good selection of micro's on draft (Bell's seasonal, Redhook seasonal, Big Sky Brewing, etc...), a split room/bar with non-smoking on one side and smoking on the other.

The food is average in both cost and quality. I had the Hawaiian Chicken sandwich (~8.50), which had a nice grilled aroma but little taste. A pint of seasonal Bells beer was $4.50, quite high but also better than paying to much $$$ for budmillercoors. They also have a punch card, buy 10 beers get one free.

While we sat for a while before being served, service was prompt once we got started.

Much of the patio furniture is the cheap resin/plastic you can get at Walmart. Otherwise the patio was nice and the surroundings quite.

We visited on a warm evening and had a nice dinner.

well done. Lunch on the outside patio, under the umbrellas, is a good way to spend some time. The servers are attentive, and the food is properly prepared.

The burgers were done exactly as ordered, and the topping ingredients were all fresh.

The servers do an excellent job of keeping you happy.

This restaurant is in White Bear Lake, not St. Paul, as the address suggests.

Our weekly hang-out.. We LOVE this place. All of the bartenders and servers are awesome, and the service and food is great. In the fall you can sit out on the patio under the standing portable heaters, and there's a cozy fireplace inside that creates great ambience in the winter.

They just added a Mexican portion to their menu, and the new items are spectacular! :-)

You MUST give Washington Square a try!

Bell's on tap!. The "Square" has 12 great beers on tap, incliding my personal favorite, the Two-Hearted Ale by Bell's Brewing out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. For food, I would try one of their burgers, they are wonderful:):):)
