'The Gnome' Will Replace St. Paul's 'The Happy Gnome'

SAINT PAUL, MN — Chef Brian Ingram and his wife Sarah will open "The Gnome" in the space where "The Happy Gnome" used to be in St. Paul's Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The Gnome will open as a modern pub and beer hall in late July.

Changes to the St. Paul space — located at 498 Selby Avenue — will include an expanded patio and an outdoor bar.

"In continuing with the legacy of The Happy Gnome combined with the history of the firehouse and representation of a gnome providing protection, we felt The Gnome name was so fitting," said Chef Brian Ingram in a statement.

"As a Guardian of Good we want to continue to focus on the community around us – providing a place for people to come together, enjoy quality food, and have some fun – all while helping others."

Chef Justin Sutherland has come on-board as Director of Culinary, working with Brian to fine-tune the chef-driven menu featuring European roasted and shaved meats, refined sandwiches and a unique cheese experience including build-your-own charcuterie boards and table-side raclette.

The beverage menu will feature over 100 drinks on tap including craft & local beer, wine, cocktails, soda & cold brew coffees along with tiki cocktails in signature Gnome glassware.
