• Baldamar - 1642 County Road, B2 West, Roseville 55113

Pair your burger with a selection from the impressive list of bottled and draught beer. Baldamar is open for lunch until 4 p.m. every day but Sunday. Dinner is served seven days a week and a Sunday brunch buffet is offered from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
