A new space, a new concept. When Just/Us restaurant opens Dec. 10 in its relocated downtown St. Paul space, the concept will also get an update.

The new restaurant, called Just/Us Eatery & Events, will be a version of its former self as the owners tweak the format and turn it into a high-end gastropub concept with international-influenced fare.

“Primarily it was a prix fixe dinner place plus burger options before. Now we’ll have a regular menu that we’ll change seasonally,” said Mona Negasi, who owns the spot with Nathan Docken, Emily Hagen, Samantha Hathaway and Jesse Hedman. “We’ll still be doing the prix fixe, but that will be held in a side room.”

Negasi said the prix fixe meals will be held the first week of every month. And instead of just the chefs on staff throwing on the meals, they plan to host guest chefs, too.

In the mornings and during lunch, counter service will be available. Come evenings, look for full service dining and a menu of small plates, sandwiches and more formal entrees. And of course, burgers will be a part of that menu mix. As far as the drink menu, look for beer, wine and spirits that include batch cocktails.

The owners say things will happen in phases, with lunch and dinner service offered from the get-go. Eventually, they’ll extend the hours to include mornings where things like coffee and pastries will be served. Brunch will also be added down the line.

In April, Just/Us closed in its original location at West Seventh and Wabasha streets after the building changed ownership. The owners went in search of a new home for their restaurant, and found it in a Lowertown space across the street from the St. Paul Farmers’ Market. The spot formerly housed the long-running Golden’s Deli and, more recently, Biergarten Germania.

And in the spirit of the history of the space that has been home to live entertainment acts, Just/Us plans to host events such as open mic nights on Tuesdays as well as music and art events on weekends.

Docken said Lowertown has a long history of supporting the arts, and they want to be a part of that. “It’s really about being part of the community.”
