Herbie’s on the Park, the new downtown St. Paul restaurant that pays homage to Minnesota hockey great Herb Brooks, will officially open Saturday, Sept. 24.

The owners promise an “upscale tavern feel with an approachable menu,” craft cocktails and an extensive wine and craft beer list.

Executive chef Tim Kovacs, most recently the executive chef for 3M, also has worked for the nearby St. Paul Hotel and the Marquette Hotel. General manager Aaron Johnson opened the original re-incarnation of Town Talk Diner in Minneapolis and is still co-owner of Strip Club Meat and Fish restaurant in St. Paul.

The 208-seat restaurant, located in the historic Minnesota Club at 317 Washington St., features a 40-seat marble bar front and center, as well as several sizable fireplaces. It will be open seven days a week, for lunch through dinner on weekdays and brunch through dinner on weekends.

The menu, which is already posted online, features burgers, salads and entrees ranging from Arctic Char to New York Strip to pasta and risotto.
