Former Chicago Bear Al Baisi really built a local favorite with this establishment. The Chicago Bear games during the football season are something else to witness. The fan support in the Twin Cities is great. Alary's is, I believe, the safest bar in St. Paul. Not only home to Chicago Bear fans but to the local Police Officers and Firefighters. Alary's is a must attend party before any event at the XCel Center with reasonably priced drinks, free shuttle to and from the XCel with a ticket and a friendly atmosphere. It is a relaxed, blue collar place that will put a smile on the face of any weary traveler. The current owner ""Big"" Al is a great host and warms the coldest winter nights with his smile of genorosity when in the cozy confines of Alary's. And don't forget the old school bubble hockey. Now how can you go wrong in a place with that machine at your disposal? It is a must visit to anyone from the area or just visiting. If you are an out of state Police Officer, there is a special place for you at Alary's as well. Stop on by and say ""HI"".
Pros: Friendly service, great patrons, friendly host/owner, free shuttles, good drink prices, nice outdoor patio
Cons: just frozen pizza's (for now)
