I got stranded in Duluth last year in April and I was stuck at the bus station for hours because I lived hours away and was waiting on a ride. One of the owners of this bar took me in and sat me down. Obviously being under 21 she didn’t let me near the alcohol. She taught me a song on the piano. She wouldn’t let some of the men talk to me. She gave me pizza and soda. We talked about life and she gave me a tough talk which I needed. She made me feel confident again. She made me laugh and cry at the same time. I don’t remember her name and I wish I could reach out to her and tell her how different my life is now and thank her. She had a few people along with her escort me outside so nobody would try anything. If anyone knows who this amazing woman is please feel free to reach out to me. She changed my life and I am forever greatful for her.

Went here with the bf the weekend of May 20, 2022. Our bartender was fantastic, and very friendly and attentive! I regrettably don't remember her name (I think it's Theresa?), but I hope she's sold many more Thin Mint drinks since we left haha! We'll definitely be back!

Perfect date night bar. It is small enough that you can have a conversation and still hear each other. Amazing service by the Co-owner Jen that went over and above to make us feel like we were VIP'S. This is our new favorite and extremely #Veteranfriendly. Thank you for a great night Jen.

Old school bar with great vibe, good humans. Enter either on Superior St or the lower entrance on Michigan St. Smoking section on lower side is good fun. Mix of humans. Local bus station across the street (Michigan side). R e l a x and breathe the good duluth air.
