Venues in Duluth, Minnesota

First time at the Alhambra last night and we’ll be back! Beautiful venue with great drink options. Snack options also great. Enjoyed visiting with Lance the bartender extraordinaire. Betsy is super friendly as well. An all around wonderful experience.

This is a super fun place that is a wonderful addition to West Duluth. Lance is a fantastic bartender. Make sure to get a Doli!

Great location and pretty good drinks. The bar tender was super friendly and seemed to know every single person! Lots of regulars here, which is a testament to the service and atmosphere.

This place is awesome! They opened early for the 8:30am Vikings game, and welcomed us when we came in. Everyone was super friendly, offered us free football snacks and even had vegetarian queso for my wife as she doesn't eat meat! To top it off, we won twice on their raffle at the end of every quarter of the game! We will make a point to come visit every time we are in Duluth going forward!

Neat little hang out place. Something we hadn’t experienced before. Everything is self serve and paid by the tenth of an ounce more or less. The rub down is, you give them your card to charge, and they give you a proximity bracelet (or 2+ depending on your party size and who’s paying). Every drink they currently offer, is on wall in a line of wall taps. You choose your flavor, and present your bracelet to that tap, and it grants permission to pour. It meters your pour down to the tenth of an oz or so. Every drink has its own independent price so it charges accordingly. Not sure if you’ll like something? No problem, just pour a small sip out and try it. If you like it, pour more. If you want to try something else, move on down the line trying others. Once you leave for the evening, your proximity bracelet will have everything tallied up front for your bill. No more buying a drink for $6 that you don’t like. You can be here all night drinking nothing but samples after samples if that’s your gig. And when I say sample, they are paid samples, not a freebie. I’m just saying you can try little amounts of 20 different kinds if you want. Find one you like, you can stick with it. Staff is friendly and helpful. They also rotate a lot of glassware from what people use and from what has been washed to set out. We found this to be a pretty cool way of handling things. No waitstaff, so your get up and pour your own, but also no obligatory feeling to tip for every drink as well. You can still tip at the end if you’d like. This kind of place and it’s service style may not be for every ton, but we found it quite pleasant, as we could drink at our own pace, without feeling like waitstaff had to keep asking how we were doing. It’s a very load back atmosphere, and one we enjoyed, and we really aren’t bar people to begin with.

The server was great really enjoyed her and she had great feedback on all the drinks. Molly is a great server and has the personality to go along with it. She makes the experience enjoyable and a great atmosphere, definitely want to come back when she’s working again!!!! Can’t wait to be back!

What a great cocktail room. Delicious drinks, fun space, pinball - I challenge you to not find something you like in their menu. Bartenders there are top bar - they know everything in the game. A must stop for canal park.

The Bridge is an absolute gem, and just what this area of Duluth needed. The vibe is cozy, elevated, and thoughtfully designed. The bartenders are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, and their passion for craft cocktails is really evident. We just came up for Grandma’s marathon and stopped in for a few drinks – every drink we had was beautifully balanced and creatively made. I LOVE all of the artwork on the walls – the pieces are stunning and add so much character to the space – many of them are Duluth-themed, and a lot of them are for sale! Love a business that supports local artists. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Bees Invaded My Epic Duluth Beer Adventure at Sir Benedict’s—But I'd Still Give It 5 Stars! 🐝🍻 (You Won't Believe the Historic Vibes!) #DuluthHiddenGem 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 Stars – A Historic Beer Haven in Duluth That's Worth the Buzz! Oh man, if you're in Duluth, Minnesota, and craving a craft beer experience that's straight out of a history book, RUN—don't walk—to Sir Benedict’s Tavern on the Lake! This place is a total gem, nestled right on the shores of Lake Superior with an outdoor seating area that feels like you've time-traveled back to the 1800s. Picture this: you're sitting on a charming wooden patio surrounded by century-old brick walls, vintage lanterns flickering in the breeze, and the faint echo of Duluth's maritime past whispering through the air. The historic ambiance is next-level—it's like dining in a restored ship captain's quarters, with exposed beams that tell stories of old trading posts and iron ore ships docking nearby. Every corner screams 'authentic North Shore heritage,' from the rustic stone accents to the panoramic views of the lake that make you feel like you're in a postcard from Minnesota's golden age. It's not just a bar; it's a living piece of Duluth history, perfect for sunset sipping or cozy fall afternoons. And the craft beers? Absolute perfection! They pour local legends on tap, with rotating seasonal brews that hit every note—crisp IPAs with piney hops, smooth stouts that warm you up against the lake chill, and fruity sours that pair insanely well with their pub grub (pro tip: get the fish and chips for that true lakeside vibe). The staff are beer wizards, recommending flights that'll make any hophead swoon. It's the kind of spot where you lose track of time, chatting with locals about Duluth's wild history while the waves lap in the background. The ONLY downside? The bees are in GREAT numbers during fall peak season—think a buzzing squadron that might photobomb your pint! 🐝😂 I had to do a little dance to shoo them away, but honestly, it added to the adventure (nature's way of saying 'welcome to the outdoors!'). Just bring some bug spray or snag an indoor spot if you're bee-phobic—it's a minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless experience. Duluth locals and travelers, this is your sign to go! Historic charm, killer craft beer, and views that'll make your Instagram explode. Who's braving the bees with me? Tag a friend and let's make this spot famous! #SirBenedictsDuluth #CraftBeerLovers #MinnesotaAdventures #HistoricPatioVibes #BeeHiveBar #LakeSuperiorEats #ViralDuluth #Travel

Great spot to see the lake and enjoy a warm lunch on the North Shore. Very adorable! Pesto Sammie was incredible Highly recommended the German pretzel 🥨

This is a great little place! My friends from Duluth brought me here for an after-dinner cocktail, and it was perfect. The menu was extensive; the hardest part was picking just one item off the menu. They also had a good selection of NA drinks, which is always nice to see. I got the Holy Thistle, and it was unlike anything I've had before. I will definitely be back!

Duluth Gains Altitude! Curiousity is a wonderful thing. Consider two sisters visiting Duluth who love Vikre, but posed a question: "Are there any other fabulous cocktail bars in Zenith City of the Unsalted Seas?" The answer is yes, delighfully so. Three months ago, Altitude Cocktails opened in the Lincoln Park Craft District, and it is a beautiful addition to this part of the city. Beautiful as in eye candy, first off. It's a lovely space, with the bar itself front and center, pretty bottles all in a row. Then there's the menu. If you've had the good fortune to visit cocktail bars of renown such as Lyaness in London, then you know what I'm getting at: This is a menu worth reading because it's so much more than a list of ingredients for each cocktail; it's a reader's dream. And there's Hunter, the bartender, and "bartender" is, I realize, a word that does not capture what he does. We need a new word for people who do what he does. On a Monday afternoon, we had him and the cocktail bar all to ourselves, it being a Monday afternoon. Hunter was attentive and informative, which helped sister choose her drink from the many on the menu that were calling her name. He shook up two delicious Death By Gins for us; they were perfect, topped with a touch of bee pollen. We talked, we laughed, we learned. Would that we could return daily to this gem of a place, to drink our way through the menu, with Hunter as our guide.

My husband and I had such a great time at The Rathskeller! The vibe is so unique and inviting, with amazing live music that set the perfect mood for the night. We ordered espresso martinis, and it was absolutely delicious—probably one of the best we’ve had! The whole experience felt special, from the atmosphere to the drinks. We’ll definitely be coming back!!

Great vibes, history and live 1930’s jazz music with no cover. A true speakeasy atmosphere. The drinks and service are top notch. No food available but you can bring your own food in. Bar service only the night we were there but signs said, “Have a seat and someone will be with you” so that was confusing.

I took a group of people for an evening of simulated shooting games, good food, good drinks, and good service. You know what I got?? An awesome evening of simulated shooting games, great food, great drinks, and first-class service! My guests and I enjoyed ourselves immensely! Cool bar with tons of fun things to do! Thank you!

Loved visiting caddyshack!!! Great drinks, reasonable priced, really fun games and also private suites which is hard to find for golf simulator places! Bartender was really great and got us hooked up with CBD treats for our dog which should even trying to find, and also tons of great suggestions for the area. Found out she was the owner which is even cooler! Thanks for entertaining us and for all of the great suggestions! Will deff be coming back with friends soon :)

Nice little brewery right on the lake. I had great, quick service. I had the bowl of chili as it was one of those windy beginning of fall cool days it it hit the spot perfectly. Was nice and chunky and had just a touch of heat. Then I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and it had a perfect amount of heat for a chilly day. To drink I had a strawberry mango lemonade Arnold Palmer. It was perfect.

Canal Park Brewing Company has a really great atmosphere with a fun vibe right on the lake. It’s a nice place to grab a drink and enjoy the view. That said, the food doesn’t live up to the price point. A $20 hamburger just wasn’t worth it, and overall the value didn’t match the experience. Worth visiting for the atmosphere, but not for the food prices.

Fun bar and the bartenders are super nice. The DJ plays some really great music too

A very pleasant and clean atmosphere with a world class bar owner and operator of full bar drink selections including top shelf high end brands as well as consumer cost friendly spirits selections not to mention live Dj's.. I rate Aces on first 10/10

Dubh Linn was awesome, we went on Thursday night for the amateur comedy night and the atmosphere was great. Free pool & darts were great options. Our fries were very good, crispy and flavorful. Bartender was super nice and friendly, everyone in the staff team just loved to be there and was happy to help some new faces. If I was local I’d be coming here often.

My wife and I have been homeless in Duluth for the past 6 months. This bar and one of it's employees became the first time I have experienced discrimination in Duluth due to our status as homeless. The bartender working last night opened the front door as we stood on a public sidewalk next to the bar. We were not there long, and we weren't disruptive or causing and issues at all nor were we blocking access to customers in any way. The bartender looked at my wife, a friend who is also homeless in a wheel chair, and my wife then proceeded to tell us we could not be standing by his business because we were turning away customers. I couldn't believe he discriminated because he knew we are homeless. Duluth has an enormous problem on their hands with the overwhelming population of homeless. Many of us have done nothing to deserve homelessness, we're also not drug addicts who choose to spend their money on drugs rather than necessities. Personally, I grew up in a wealthier family and have vacationed here since I was born. I have an education and owned my own business that was very successful. I went from the top of society to the bottom in a short period of time which was not my fault unfortunately. If you have any morals. If you have a heart, and if you believe stereotyping, and discrimination regardless of the situation is wrong do not patronize this business. If I could I would shut them down specifically for this very incident whether I was discriminated or had been a witness. I hope the owner of Dubh Linn reads this. I may be homeless, but I am not idiot. I also have an education, and I previously owned a business myself. If the owner is reading this before you receive anything from my attorney first, I have every intention to make it publicly known on social media and news publications of this discrimination. I also will be following through with my attorney filing a discrimination lawsuit so I receive monetary compensation for the discrimination by your bar. I am not going to be keeping everything I am awarded in court. It will help other individuals who have become like family. Those of us who are homeless for the most part stick together, we help each other, and none of us deserve to be told to leave a public sidewalk because we look and are homeless. I hope your bar is boycotted hopefully forcing you to shut down or the city shuts you down for the act committed by an employee of yours. If the owner wishes to settle this atrocity before I hand it to my attorney please comment on this with a way to contact you. If not, as I said above, I have no issue following through with a discrimination lawsuit.

We went Sunday, October 6th, 2025. Had the buffalo chicken wrap, beef quesadilla, and pickles fries. Attentive and courteous staff. Food was so good that after we got to the hotel (and had a few drinks) we had to go back for the chicken nachos. •The buffalo chicken wrap had tender chicken and a good sauce ratio so it was not dry •Beef quesadilla was not shy on the meat and cheese, and nice flavor. •Pickle fries came out nice, hot, and crunchy. As well as not too salty. •The nachos were very tasty as well, loaded nice and heavy with a fair share of each topping. Out servers both times were very nice, as well as the bartender. Bathrooms are also well kept. Will be returning next time I'm in the area!

Disclaimer: This is based solely on my experiences alone. This is in no way, shape or form, meant to offend or discourage anyone. This was a few years back now, circa 2021, I believe. My friend and I were just taking a weekend trip up North. We just wanted to do more sight seeing Duluth. We found this place (310), we weren’t sure about the parking but we were able to park in a parking lot right next to the building eventually. We go in, it’s relatively good energy. I don’t think we cared either way, though, we were there for some Beer (I mean we were 22 and had the weekend off😂). Well they delivered. The staff was nice and answered all our questions. Although we didn’t order food, the service was still exceptional, everyone was proper nice, and the bathrooms were clean. I always admire a clean bathroom that isn’t stinky! So thank you for being a part of my younger years. Though, I no longer drink alcohol, I hope to still come and finally try food. God bless all on their future endeavors🙏🏽🤎🌳

Had to watch you see the girls from the barstool, but I had to get a closer look then I got a chance her name was shorter girl super firm if u. Like being teased had to be the best dancer show stage could be bigger for them but I did get a dance in the back from her Very very nice wasn’t sure but I figured out real quick. You’re not allowed to touch them. Overall, it was one of the best times I’ve had in Duluth

Not bad. There was only one stripper that I really liked there tonight. She had dark hair and glasses and tattoos. I'd marry her if she wasn't a stripper
