When the Safe Bar Initiative was still a pilot program a year ago, Patrick’s on 3rd in St. Peter was the first bar in Minnesota to jump on board. Patrick’s opened in 1988 and has been a destination in southern Minnesota for awesome beer and food ever since. They were the first bar to participate in bystander intervention training for their staff. The Safe Bar Initiative is a prevention effort to help reduce sexual harassment/violence in local bars by training the staff at establishments in bystander intervention. Patrick’s on 3rd has several different menus and the chefs at are dedicated to providing many different options for whatever you are craving. They have 30 beers on tap and a range of options from breakfast to Mexican food, awesome homemade pizzas to unbelievable burgers! There certainly is something for everyone at Patrick’s and you can enjoy your food and drinks knowing the staff has your back.
