"From snout to tail — every bite tells a story."
Pig-centric contemporary Southern cuisine in the heart of Cathedral Hill, St. Paul. Award-winning smoked brisket, dry-rubbed spare ribs, woodfire-roasted mussels, crawfish hushpuppies — and over 100 bourbons behind the bar.
We like bourbon. That's an understatement. Over 100 bottles line our illuminated bar shelves — from accessible everyday pours to rare single barrels you won't find anywhere else in St. Paul.
"We barrel-age our own bourbon for future enjoyment. It's patience, rewarded."
The smoky Sazerac is Chef's personal favorite. The House G&T with housemade tonic is what regulars come back for. The Bacon Old Fashioned — served over a fancy ice cube with a hog image — is the one you'll be telling people about tomorrow.

Handsome Hog was born from a simple belief: the whole animal deserves respect. From the snout to the tail, every cut has a story — and Chef Matt Green is here to tell it.
Nestled in Cathedral Hill, one of St. Paul's most beloved neighborhoods, Handsome Hog brings contemporary Southern cuisine with a pig-centric focus to a city hungry for real, soulful cooking. Locally sourced ingredients, seasonal menus, and bar program built for bourbon lovers.
The "Meat Bar" — situated right next to the main drinking bar — is staffed by a full-time Charcu-Artist who builds charcuterie plates on demand with meats from around the world, including Benton's Tennessee Country Aged Ham.
Sundays at the Hog are a whole different kind of morning. Southern brunch classics, patio seating, bottomless cocktails, and the kind of vibe that makes you forget the week entirely.
