Kip's Irish Pub in St. Louis Park, Minnesota

From the decor to the extensive menu to the always welcoming staff, Kip's is one of a few authentic Irish pubs on the west of the Twin Cities and is the only establishment in the state designed and built by Dublin-based Sonas, a company that hand crafts Irish pubs and restaurants, which are then reassembled by the compan's pub fitters-who leave behind their mark of quality craftsmanship, a friendly atmosphere and a hint of warm Irish laughter.
