Bar + Cart

Bar + Cart Restaurant and Lounge opened in the former Khyber Pass Cafe space on Grand Avenue in St. Paul's Macalester-Groveland neighborhood, a partnership between longtime collaborators Ralena Young and Brian Riess. Young, an accomplished Twin Cities beverage director, anchors a serious drink program — and that extends to one of the metro's deepest zero-proof lists. The "Free Spirit" menu runs nine non-alcoholic cocktails (around $10 each), spanning smoky to sweet: house builds like White Fox (coconut water, orange blossom, banana, egg white, cherry-bark vanilla), Up In Smoke (coconut water, grapefruit, jalapeño, basil, smoked salt), No Big Deal (dill, orgeat, grapefruit, tonic), and Hibiscus Punch, alongside bottled St. Agrestis Phony Negronis. Axios Twin Cities named it the most expansive non-alcoholic list in its January 2026 Dry January roundup. The food leans elevated-comfort, from Coney Island dogs to fresh oysters.

“Bar + Cart, a cozy Grand Avenue bar/restaurant, had the most expansive list of nonalcoholic options, with nine distinctive mocktails ranging from smoky to sweet.”
