Believe it or not, Minnesota is home to more than a few places that are said to be haunted. The historic Palmer House Hotel is frequented by ghost-hunting guests eager to catch a glimpse of a spirit. The entire town of Mantorville is said to be filled with supernatural destinations. And, of course, the Twin Cities are home to stories of spirits at First Avenue, the Wabasha Street Caves, and more – including the place we’d like to discuss today. The Lexington is a historic restaurant that some say is haunted by spirits. Read on below to learn more about this potential paranormal hotspot.
The Lexington is a popular restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota. It's right at the intersection of busy Lexington and Grand Avenues, making it a great spot for those looking to spend some time shopping and strolling in this great neighborhood.
Be sure to come hungry, because the Lexington menu is full of many wonderful options. They serve up elevated dishes that are wonderful for those looking for a special meal. This will quickly become one of your favorite spots.
Popular menu offerings include steak, surf and turf platters, scallops, chicken, burgers, and more. Everything is great, created with fresh and flavorful ingredients.
During the summer months, many visitors love enjoying their meal on the rooftop patio. Always lively, this spacious patio offers wonderful views and a private vibe that will make your meal feel truly special.
The inside dining areas are great too, especially for those who would like to take in some of this restaurant's history. It's been open since 1935, so it's been through a few changes. But the atmosphere is historic, with beautiful furnishings and decor that look like they come from another time.
One thing to note about the restaurant, however: many people believe it to be haunted. There have even been ghost-hunting professionals who have visited to confirm. In 2021, a ghost hunter made contact and determined that the spirit they contacted was friendly.
The restaurant's long history does make it easier to believe that this place could be haunted. But if the ghost hunters are to be believed, the spirits that linger here mean no harm. What do you believe?
