Palace Pub to take the place of Wrestaurant at the Palace starting next week
The restaurant next door to the Palace Theatre in downtown St. Paul is finally reopening after extensive water damage caused its closure last fall.
The new name for the restaurant, which will be run by First Avenue, is Palace Pub. Wrestaurant at the Palace is no more.
'After months of repairs and reflection, we made the decision to officially close that chapter,' the First Avenue folks said in a news release. 'Now, we're ready for what's next.'
The restaurant will officially open Tuesday, June 17, with happy hour, dinner and late-night bites.
The menu includes thin-crust pizza (a stark departure from Wrestaurant's thick-crust Detroit-style pies), sandwiches and appetizers. There will be a full bar with a cocktail menu, local beer, wine, THC beverages and other non-alcoholic options.
Regular hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. with the kitchen open until 11 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday.
The restaurant will also open on Sunday or Monday if there are events at the Palace or the Xcel Energy Center.
'We're excited to bring something fresh to this iconic space,' said Marc Dickhut, First Avenue director of general operations, in the release. 'Our team has put the time into creating a spot that feels easy, welcoming, and fun — whether you're grabbing a quick drink before a show, hanging late with friends, or stopping in for food downtown. We can't wait to open the doors and be part of the renewed energy in downtown St. Paul.'
The Palace Theatre is owned by the city and co-managed by First Avenue and JAM Productions.
