Spacious, friendly St. Paul taproom with consistently praised beers, frequent events, easy transit, and generally accommodating staff; some dissent on service, music vibe, and occasional closing-time hiccups.
Dual Citizen Brewing Company delivers solid neighborhood brewery performance through well-executed beers across multiple styles, genuinely helpful staff, and bright, spacious design with strong patio appeal. The taproom excels as a community gathering space with loyal repeat visitors and reliable group event handling. However, occasional execution inconsistencies and a destination appeal that remains regional rather than destination-defining prevent a higher grade—it's a respected local favorite rather than a standout craft brewery destination.
The taproom opens into a bright, industrial space where groups mingle across couches and long tables, often before a match at Allianz Field. Staff come up repeatedly as genuinely helpful, and regulars talk about coming back for years. One visitor summed it up: "The beertender guided me to the perfect pour," while another praised the easy transit and welcoming vibe on trivia nights. Brewing leans classic craft over theatrics: well-loved hazy and West Coast IPAs, a standout Belgian tripel, malty darks, and approachable lagers, with a surprisingly robust NA selection. Expect a steady rotation and seasonal touches like slushies, though not every experiment lands for everyone. It suits beer fans who value variety, solid execution, and an event-forward community space more than cutting-edge flavors. Families do fine here thanks to the relaxed atmosphere and plenty of seating. Reviewers mention sodas, ginger beer, and NA beers, though food is typically via trucks or BYO options and one parent noted limited kid drinks on a Sunday. Plan snacks for picky eaters and check event calendars if you need quiet time.
Area: Creative mixed-use corridor near University Ave; draws beer fans, event-goers, and pre-game crowds.
Safety: Generally safe with steady foot traffic; industrial edges but well-trafficked on event nights.
Nearby: Near Allianz Field, Green Line light rail, and other breweries; events and patios activate the block.
