Billy's On Grand

For a text book definition of bouncers on a power trip, combined with unintelligent and rude wait/barstaff visit this place. I have had two bad experiences there and will never go back. The first time I was harrased by a bouncer who had supposedly has seen fakes better than my NH License, (ya you have funny i don't have trouble anywhere else in the cities). The second time my girlfriend was accused of not paying her bill (even though they had the check she paid with they chose to call her house and harass her). I just feel like the a good percentage of the staff are on major power trips. The food is just average pub grub, add the service to the food and they equal a place worth passing by. Pros: beer selection, outdoor seating Cons: service, atmosphere more

My first visit to Billy's was terrible. A friend wasn't able to come in due to a clipped license without papers (although it was because he was turning 25.) The bouncers were rude and made fun of him, he came back with his valid passport and they turned him away because they ""felt like it."" They got a big kick out of it. I'll never go back. Cons: rude bouncers more

We were a large group of women there for dinner - service was great & so was the food! We also checked out the Lucy since someone wrote a nasty review about her - Hmm seems that person can't read. Lucy is holding cute mugs of ROOTBEER!!! I don't think you can get drunk off of rootbeer! And as for being a blond - there was also a fushia colored one & brown haired & multi-colored ones. So the blond is cute. So Billy's and Lucy get a thumbs up from us gals! more

In St.Paul the one place to be is Billy's.I love the outdoor patio for happy hour.The food is very good and the service is top notch.I highly recommend Billy's for a great time!!!!! more

In response to the complaints regarding the ""Lucy"" in front of Billy's on Grand, I would like to point out that Lucy is holding ROOTBEER, which is clearly printed on the side of each of her mugs. I would also like to point out that Billy's did not design the statue, so I highly doubt this is an advertising ploy, nor is it a promotion for alcoholism or drinking and driving. more

I must say most of the Lucy's that are part of the Peanuts sculpture group are great. The Lucy in front of Billy's is just disturbing. Lucy has BLONDE hair and is holding 6 beers in her hand. Since when does Lucy have blonde hair and when is she a raving drunk who endorses drunk driving? Anyone who had 6 beers would get a DUI for sure. I think Billy's has taken the ""advertising"" affect a little too far. Lucy is a symbol of girl power and hope. Why would Billy's try to reduce her to a stupid blonde alcoholic? Plus when I went to Billy's their food was bad and service was horrible! more

I wish that Billy's waiters would learn some manners. I realy wanted to like this place, but I went here for dinner and it was a really rotten experience. The food was cold and the service was very rude and slow. I won't be going to back here. more

I went to billy's on Grand Old Days last weekend and had a terrible time there. The service was incredably slow and I was treated like an insect by the wait staff. I went to Grand Old Days to have fun and get to know my neighbors. I will never go again because of the bad service at Billy's. more

I went to Billy's a few days ago and had a very unsatisfactory experience. The food was over done and I had a lot of back talk from the waitress when I complained about my burned burger. She didn't act like she cared at all and didn't offer to compensate me in any way. She just said she was really busy and it would be another half hour for another one. I thought this was very rude and do not plan on going to billy's ever again. more
