Mickey's Diner

Mickey's Dining Car is a classic diner in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States.

Designed to resemble a railroad dining car, the prefabricated building was constructed in 1937 by the Jerry O'Mahony Diner Company of Elizabeth, New Jersey, then shipped to Saint Paul by rail, opening in 1939.

It also includes Mickey's homemade mulligan stew, hamburgers, and ice cream floats, milkshakes, and malts.

The opening and closing scenes of the 2006 Robert Altman film A Prairie Home Companion were shot at Mickey's.

[2] The diner is also featured on the front and back cover of the 1985 self-titled debut album of R&B singer Alexander O'Neal, and appears in his 1985 music video for the song "Innocent".

The diner also appears in the 1991 Pet Shop Boys music video for the song "Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes off You)".

It is decorated in the manner of a 1950s-style diner rather than the original location which is representative of the Great Depression and World War II eras of the 1930s and 1940s.
