Located at 221 Fifth Street East in downtown Saint Paul, this single-floor amenity lounge delivers a polished, contemporary atmosphere that blends urban energy with comfortable gathering spaces. The interior is characterized by soaring ceilings with exposed ductwork and structural columns, lending an industrial-chic aesthetic softened by warm wood-framed windows and circular pendant lighting. Large, gold-trimmed windows line the perimeter of the space, flooding the interior with abundant natural light and framing views of the surrounding historic downtown streetscape, including classic brick architecture and tree-lined sidewalks. The open layout accommodates multiple distinct zones, including a lounge area anchored by a navy sectional sofa, colorful accent pillows, and a bold patterned carpet in deep navy and white tones. A full-size billiards table serves as a central focal point, complemented by high-top bar seating and a wet bar with warm wood cabinetry. A media lounge area features a wall-mounted flat-screen television set against textured tile, flanked by directional sconce lighting and an orange upholstered ottoman. White communal tables with modern chairs round out the space, making it well-suited for casual socializing, recreation, and community gatherings.

Despite a similar name, St. Paul’s Lowertown is different from downtown in both location and character. While most residents know Downtown St. Paul as the entertainment hub of the city, Lowertown — its neighbor to the east — is developing a unique identity all its own.
Art galleries, restaurants, and local businesses are setting up shop in the warehouses and factories that put St. Paul on the map in the 20th century. Mears Park and the greenway along the Mississippi River provide much-need recreation space in this growing city. Residents of Lowertown enjoy a booming nightlife scene, as well as short commute times thanks to the interstates around the area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
