Named after St. Augustine of Hippo, a patron saint of Brewers, Augustine’s features 40 craft beers on tap with many Minnesota breweries proudly represented. The menu, as well as the decor, is inspired by St. Augustine’s Mediterranean homeland (Hippo is an ancient town in what is now Algeria). After more than a year in the making and with the contributions of many talented people, Augustine’s is appreciative and ready to be a part of St. Paul’s Union Park neighborhood. We hope you enjoy what we’ve done with the old laundromat.
