Camp Bar

From the moment I walked in the door this place felt like home. It reminds me of the show "cheers" in its own unique everyone knows your name kinda vibe! I'm pretty unorthodox when it comes to enabling my creativity, and seek out untraditional places to create, and this was perfect. 5:55pm on a Saturday and it's just the right amount of background noise and genuine personality and inspiration all over, the wonderful welcoming atmosphere and overall tone and meaningful interaction with the staff and the other individuals here enjoying there evening was exactly what I needed to feel well enough to get into alignment with the momentum of just being comfortable enough to allow myself to be present. This was a beautiful gift, and a very wonderful bar, and community of supportive and friendly people who just be being themselves inspire joy and happiness! Highly recommend.

Camp — the Bar — sells itself as a Packer bar. It only takes one bad apple. We had 6 people at our table this noon, all Packer fans. While we were completely focused on the game, the bartender, the one wearing a Viking jersey, came up to our TV and changed the channel to the Viking game. The Viking game was broadcast on local TV; the Packer game was not.. When we reminded him that this was a Packer bar, he pointed to one woman at the end of the bar wearing a Viking shirt. There were 5 TVs in the place, yet he chose to change our channel. It appeared to be because it was the TV easiest for him to watch. To a pair of customers at the bar who brought a bell to ring when something good happened, he told them they couldn’t ring it. On another occasion, he came by our table and started to open the garage door-like wall beside us. It was 45 degrees outside. When the two seniors at our table objected, he said “We always do this.” No common courtesy like “Excuse me folks, mind if I …?” or “Sorry, folks …” He was just rude. So much for the interests of the customers. It only takes one bad apple — to ruin what the owners were trying to achieve, and what the customers thought they were coming to experience.

NO LONGER A TRUE PACKER BAR. RUDE "VIKING' BARTENDER I have been to the Camp Bar for Packers games in the past and really enjoyed my time at this previously "Packer Bar". I invited my parents who are in the late 80's and a family of three to Sunday's untelevised Packer game. I got there before the bar opened to be able to search out the best table options for a group of six and seats that would accomodate my parents. Please note that I called the Camp the day before and a bartender was very gracious about reserving a table for our party of three, but we added people on late Sunday morning, so needed a different arrangement. I was grateful for the reservation. We chose a table very close to a TV and close to the outdoor windows. The bartender Chris was lovely. And there was one bartender who was wearing a Vikings jersey. The Vikings guy came by our table and without asking us or even greeting us, started opening the "garage door" window on a 43 degree day. Many people still had their coats on in the bar. We stated it was too cold and he said "We always open the window. He was not at all courteous or kind. The six of us were enjoying the Packer game, and with no warning the Viking bartender turns on the Viking game on the screen we were watching. It was so rude. Right in the middle of the Packer game at the Packer bar, without asking us, he switches the channel. We asked him to turn back on the Packer game, and he said there were a couple of Viking fans in the house and said that he was keeping the Vikings game on. I got to the Camp before it opened and I was the second person in line to choose seats that would work best for my parents and friends. Arriving early, picking seats that worked best for our party, enjoying ourselves and boom, having it go south by rudeness aned inconsideration was so disappointing. The Viking bartender actually told two Packer fans sitting at the bar and had bells to ring when the Packers scored that he would take away their bells if they rang them again. Buzz kill!!!! I can't even believe he said that. There was such a damper placed on the game based on this Viking bartender. He was clueless to the experience he was creating for the customers around him. I am so sad that this will no longer be an option for a Packer Bar for us. We will return to Gabe's.

Great time at Laugh Camp. Fantastic to have another comedy option in St. Paul.

Great bartenders, fun Packer bar and swell Heggie’s za! Recommend!

Excellent comedy show. Great place to take a date. Saw Langston Kerman. He and his opening acts had my girlfriend and me rolling. Will definitely be back soon to see more shows.

My friends and I stumbled upon this bar trying to find somewhere to enjoy some beers near our hotel. The service was great, they had a pool table and touch tunes. What more can someone ask for? Also, the late night pizza came in clutch.

This place is super cool! I visited for an event and the bartenders killed it! They were so fast and efficient. The only complaint I have is that they have no food besides Heggies pizza. I wish they carried some other bar apps, especially if they don't have the means for a full kitchen set up. It's hard to order multiple drinks when there is nothing to soak up the alcohol.

Great bar/lounge with good staff. They have cabaret shows you can buy tickets to ~$8. Outdoor tables in the summer too.

Was looking for something to do after a Saints game on Sunday afternoon and found this little gem! They had open mic comedy night in one room and a football game in the other. The Packers were losing miserably, but there were a few promising practicing comics! Drinks were good, staff was friendly, and we had cheap entertainment!
