The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

    We always enjoy going to Holmans. A little disappointed with my Benedict because the eggs were overcooked,but still delicious. Mushroom toast was delicious as always. We also thought we could use more than one $25 bonus gift card at one time. Still had a very good brunch with our friends.

    Lovely experience here tonight for my birthday dinner. The food was delicious, our server was attentive and very personable, and the manager was very welcoming. It was also nice to be in a restaurant where it wasn’t overly loud. We enjoyed the ambiance!

    Our server was so good even though the place was packed! It was 2 days before Christmas and right before a nearby hockey game so every table was full of large groups. Our server kept her cool and was attentive and kind. And the kitchen stayed on their game too, delivering very hot delicious meals.
