Property Description

A Landmark Restaurant Opportunity in Cathedral Hill Welcome to one of the most exciting opportunities to launch or grow a new or established restaurant concept in Saint Paul’s historic Cathedral Hill neighborhood. Located within a beautifully updated 140-year-old former firehouse, this unique property combines historic character with modern restaurant functionality and an elevated guest experience. Join a neighborhood of established restaurants, retailers, and destinations while becoming the next steward of a true Saint Paul landmark. From the moment guests walk through the doors, they are welcomed into an upscale environment featuring custom bars, coffered ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. The main-level bar and dining area features a 25+ tap back bar and a fully equipped commercial kitchen, providing an exceptional foundation for a wide range of restaurant and hospitality concepts. Upstairs, an additional beautifully appointed space offers tremendous flexibility. Incorporate it into the primary restaurant concept or create a dedicated venue for private parties, chef-driven dinners, tasting events, and other exclusive experiences. The upper level includes a gas fireplace, separate restrooms, and a catering kitchen, creating a versatile extension of the main operation. When the weather is right, take the experience outdoors onto the expansive deck and patio, complete with a large brick fireplace—an ideal setting for outdoor dining, gatherings, and special events. A private parking lot further enhances the property and adds convenience for both guests and staff. With its historic architecture, thoughtful updates, restaurant infrastructure, flexible layout, outdoor entertaining space, and prime Cathedral Hill setting, this is a rare turnkey opportunity to bring your vision to life in one of Saint Paul’s most distinctive neighborhoods. Bring your concept. Build your following. Become the next steward of a Saint Paul landmark.
