Wow, what a good choice for dinner. The Reuben Sandwich with sweet potato fries were excellent and hot. The overall vibe of the place is comfortable for all ages and the music is at a perfect volume. Kudos to Matthew for helping me choose the best meal. And then to top it all off with a freshly made ice cream sandwich ( fresh scooped vanilla ice cream between two baked chocolate chip cookies- not pre- made)! read more

Jamie was such a great server! She was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. She gave great recommendations and had such a positive attitude. Definitely one of the best service experiences we've had in a while. We'll be back for sure! read more

This place hasn't been the same since COVID. We used to come here religiously like once a month. Ever since COVID they lost all their good chefs and waitresses. Food is now average at a high price. The only thing they have going for them now is their location. read more

Dinner at Canal Brewery was great! Had an amazing portobello mushroom "burger". The menu allowed the burger to be replaced with portobello, impossible burger, or a fried chicken patty. The beer was great and the inside is decorated amazingly well. Views of course were great. We were able to park, eat, then tour the canal area for the evening. A note about this menu / As a vegetarian in this day of "impossible burger" I nearly never find a true vegetarian option at breweries anymore. What some restaurants seem to not understand is that vegetarians don't like meat! We are not looking for a meat tasting alternative. We want vegetables. LOL thank you Canal Park for offering a truly true vegetarian option to our burgers. read more

Good bar food, good beers, great location. The BEST cheese curds you'll find anywhere!!! Prices a little high but expected for the area. Our server was very helpful and even accommodated a birthday candle on our cookie. Good for families. . read more

Best Pepsi I've ever had do recommend. The Birria Tacos and Cheese Curds were also solid. But if you're into Pepsi get the Pepsi. Downed 2 in 5 minutes. read more

Good drinks! Went there for a nightcap before bed. Good service. Food looked good but did not partake.

This was the perfect spot to grab some food and drinks before the haunted ship on Halloween. We walked here from our Airbnb and sat out on the patio on an unusually warm fall day. The patio is great and was very nice place to enjoy our food and drinks. I had the Stone Surf IPA and the Hank and Dabs Pale Ale, both were very delicious. Great spot in Canal Park to either start or end your night, great atmosphere. Wish I lived closer... read more

I was seated quickly by a friendly hosted and didn't have to wait long for my server, even though it was a busy night! When in da north, I of course got cheese curds and a fish po boy. Both were delicious - best cheese curds I've ever had. As for my beer, I got the light lager and it was great, easy drinking. Good place to stop if you're taking a walk by the lake. read more

A nice dinner here despite the noise from kids and the kitchen, but I had two of their delicious beers and that took the edge off. Friendly service from a waitress who tried to time my two appetizers but they ended up coming out together. A plate of buffalo wings (temperature hot, but spicy not) with blue cheese and a plate of their cheese curds (we're practically in Wisconsin) was a good meal and I enjoyed eating fried and more fried. I would eat here again though perhaps in a corner of the restaurant away from the families. [Review 17894 overall - 114 in Minnesota - 1415 of 2022.] read more

First time visit for some late night dinner. I liked how this place was close to our hotel so it was a short walk. The ambiance here is nice, clean and close to the lake. The service was friendly and they were petty fast as well. The food is pretty good for the price with large portions. The Siracha honey wings and the buffalo Mac and cheese were both pretty good and filling meals. Definitely recommend this stop on a trip to Duluth. read more

Absolutely fell in love with this spot and can't wait to go back next time we are in town. Delicious beer (they were sold out of the one we wanted but there were several other selections), delicious food, cool atmosphere. Tried poutine for the first time and this spoiled me. The gravy is almost like a thick pot roast and sauce. Paired with white cheddar curds and slender potatoes this was a creamy, salty, beautiful treat. Already dreaming of it and it's only been a few hours. Was pretty full after so I went with the roasted beet and apple salad. It was fresh and exactly what I needed. read more

Good selection of beer, good choices of food (soup salad and sandwiches). Though price is on the high side, the sandwich portion is gigantic. Almost guarantee taking some left over home. Their skinny French fries is pretty cool. Nice view of the lake as well, top spot by the canal street. read more

We went for supper and drinks with friends, and we were not disappointed! We had the most delicious burgers, classic and jalapeño popper burgers, they were fat and juicy and seasoned to perfection! The cheese curds were off the chart, best I ever had with the chipotle sauce! The flight of beer was delicious and the north coaster beer and flavoured seltzers were amazing! the service was outstanding and everything was served hot and delicious! 5 stars and definitely is an ongoing favorite of ours!! Also bought some new fav merch! read more

Traveling with our Psychiatric Service Dog from California, and had the best experience possible. Canal Park Brewing is incredibly dog friendly - even has a store for dog parents! Food exceeded well beyond expectation, and service was top tier. Such a groovy ambiance too. Thank you, Canal Park Brewing for such a wonderful, and warm experience. So excited to come back when visiting our family! read more

Canal Park Brewing was the perfect spot last Wednesday. The food was excellent. I realize we were at a brewery but their NA options were also delicious. And you can't beat the location right near the boardwalk. read more

This is my second time visiting Canal Park. I decided to try the beer cheese soup and a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. The salad was good. It had real bacon pieces and crumbled blue cheese along with all the other suspects. Everything tasted crisp and fresh. The beer cheese soup was delicious. I would come back just for that. I tried the Woodland Strawberry Blonde Ale. It was light and crisp with just a hint of berry. I loved it because it was not overly fruity. It was a beautiful day in Duluth, so the patio seating was wonderful. Service was good. Quick and friendly without a lot of chit-chat. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

I stopped at CPB to do some remote work one afternoon and I can say I had a blast. The ambiance of a brewery on the lake really provided an amazing backdrop to get some work done in peace. The service was amazing. My Server Seth went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience. Not only was he doing research on his own to help me resolve a wifi issue, something totally outside his preview, but he was also the perfect amount of attentive and informative as well. I had the Northern Lights Power bowl while I was here and loved that as well. It had a great taste while keeping me as healthy as I can expect myself to be under the circumstances. I always look for places that provide exemplary healthy choices and this was that. read more

Our wait was pretty short, our food was delicious, and I loved all the beers I tried. The gift store was cute by the entrance of the restaurant and there was plenty of seating by there while we waited for our table. The bar was full, but I didn't mind getting my drink before our table was ready. I got a turkey club with fries that was pretty filling. The lingonberry mayo was a great addition. My wife got an appetizer of baked glazed Brussel sprouts that were really nice, and a bit spicy! My favorite beer had to be the peach sour. I also tried the light ale(?) (the one with the dog on it) and the other sour was a boysenberry lactose which was surprisingly nice and not too tart. It was very busy for a Monday night and I could see why! read more

First off the service was on the money!! From the moment you walk in they don't make you feel like you're ruining their day, they are so cheerful and happy to see you! Them not only was our server sweet, amazing and attentive, I also observed the other servers around us and they were doing a heck of a job! I would come back just for the service! Szechuan cauliflower bowl-I am NOT a vegetarian, but for some reason this intrigued me...you would never know this was a vegetarian plate. The flavors are explosive!! It was so good! *Potato leek soup-almost every server said this was their favorite thing and get it before they run out that day, they were right to say nab it as it is my favorite soup I've had in a long time! I loved the cup I ordered so much that I asked for a bowl to go!! This is creamy and satisfying to the tastebuds for sure! *Minnesota mule-I wanted something that didn't weight me down and I have never tried a Minnesota mule before, this was light and refreshing and just enough umph to give you the happies. *Mac and cheese with grilled chicken breast-this was my husbands dish and he liked it a lot as it was a mild cheese flavor with the white cheddar and them being able to top it with some protein hit the spot for him. I also dug in and had to try it and would order that for myself. We had 3 other people with us and sampled a few different beers they had and not one negative comment! Everything about this place, including where its location is and the ambiance was on point! I will be dreaming of this place till we are able to come back to Duluth. Stay away from downtown(and the encampment!!), and go over the bridge to this amazing place, you'll want to go back daily! Oh and they have games like corn hole right outside of the kiddies need something to do while you wait for son great food! read more

When you have beautiful weather to eat outdoors, your taste buds are heightened. The Club sandwich was stacked high but missing the avocado slices. The bread was an Artisan bread and toasted just right. The Aioli spread gave it a good kick and the fries were well seasoned. We tried their Northcoaster light ale and the light and crisp taste was a great match. I tried the Ahi tuna burger and again it was grilled just right and dressed with a good Cole slaw. I tried their sweet potato fries and thought they were overdone BUT I was wrong! The seasonings deceived me and I enjoyed the sweet and savory taste of my fries. I tried their Seltzer water with Blackberry and it to was crisp and light. Service by Kaitlyn B was helpful and her help in deciding what to drink with our food made it so much easier. All the staff was on their toes to keep everyone happy. There's plenty of parking too. read more

Came here with a date last week. We had heard that this place had great food. After issues with our phones not loading the menu in the hotel, we said screw it and just made a dash to the brewery instead. We were told it would be an hour wait or so, and it was packed. We opted to wait and go sit near the water to pass the time. Ten minutes later we get a text that our table is ready. We walk back in and are seated. We order our drinks and a pretzel as an appetizer. The cheese was pretty good with the pretzel. The mustard was spicy (coming from someone who likes spicy foods - it had some kick and was delicious). The pretzel was heavily salted, and I'm not personally a fan of as much salt as we had on ours, but we ate it and scrubbed some off. I'm unsure if it was the heat, or if the brewery doesn't put ice in the water, but it was 90+ degrees and neither of our waters showed up with ice. Which was really what we wanted with the heat index. We asked for additional water with ice, and were brought a jar with just water. For my entree I wanted to order a steak melt, but I was told they just had ran out of ingredients to make it. Bummer. I decided on the fish and chips instead, and was told that it would be a bit of a wait because the kitchen was having issues. Yikes. I asked if a burger would be quicker and he said yes, so we went with the mango habanero burger with sweet potatoes. My date had the Mac and cheese with pork. She said the pork was moist but could have really used some type of BBQ sauce or some component to bring them together. My burger was okay, at best. I devoured it because I was starving, but the sweet potato fries were the only real part I enjoyed. Not sure that I would put this in my list of "must visit" or "great food" lists that I have visited in Duluth yet.... but it did have a great location and a nice atmosphere in the bar. read more

Canal Park Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

One of my favorite breweries in Duluth. They're beer and food options are amazing and I go every time I'm passing through Duluth or skiing at Spirit Mountain for the day. I'm an IPA fan and they only have one IPA at the moment, which is a bummer. It is a good IPA but I do like to have more than one option to pick from. Food is unbeatable for a brewery. I almost always go for a burger, and the north coaster is probably my favorite. Get extra napkins though because it is messy! Can't go wrong with other options as well. read more

Today I had the Birria Beef Short Rib tacos. It's gluten free and tastes delicious! Literally mouthwatering! I definitely think the portion sizes could be larger, especially for the cost. I ate my entire plate and was still hungry. I was impressed with the gluten free options for their entrees as well as their desserts. The waitress made sure to let me know the kitchen isn't celiac friendly which is important to discuss with any customers with food allergies or sensitivities. We always love the interior design, that it's a clean and environmentally friendly place. And that dogs and kids aren't frowned upon. read more

Well the bartender was great and made a good drink, but these fish tacos left a lot to be desired. No pico included with the chips, jicama slaw was tasteless even though bathed in sauce. The walleye was over done, dry, and flavorless. The only thing in that box with flavor was the lime?! Busy for a Monday but in was 60 degrees in Duluth what do you expect? Not sure there will be a return visit? read more

This is a fantastic spot down on Canal Park to enjoy the view of Lake Superior while sampling some great brews and specialty drinks. The food is excellent and offers a variety to satisfy all types of appetites. The service is spot on and extremely helpful.

This place is located off the water. We came up here around Halloween and the temp was perfect for hoodie weather outside at night while we had some drinks and ate dinner. The burgers are what you need to order when here, cooked so perfectly and flavor was exactly what I was looking for. I will come back. Wish I had more time for beer, however the 2 I had were good and went with their flagships. read more

My friend and I stopped here while staying in Duluth for a girl's weekend. I've heard really great things about this place and was very excited to try it. But when we arrived I was less than stoked. When we arrived you were sent to a line as all orders are taken at the bar, but then seating is a free for all. (When we ordered there were only 2 tables open and a line of people behind us.) This created a situation of people ordering and then wandering around trying to find a place to sit. If you ordered anything alcoholic you had to stand at the bar to receive it but all food came packaged completely to go whether you were staying or going to your table. The waste created in this was really saddening. I understand that everyone is just trying to make it right now, but as someone who understands what it takes to run a restaurant, I do know the cost involved in using so much togo product vs. Labor costs so I had a hard time wrapping my brain around it. Not to mention the waste to the planet.. so much plastic. On the flip side of this, the drinks and food were really quite good so I will definitely give them another try when they are back to normal service. read more

We did take out originally since we were driving from the cities and we're getting hungry and didn't wanna wait around for our food. It was easy to order online and when we picked it up at our designated time it was ready to go! We decided to sit on the patio to eat since we've been in the car for two hours driving and we had our dog with. The staff was great and you can order drinks inside if you decide to sit outside. I got the fish tacos and it was delicious! I loved the tar tar sauce they gave me! It went well with the fish tacos! And I got the cheese curds which were a little spicy but very delicious! My fiancé got the northerner and he said it was amazing! He said it had avocado, egg, bacon; it was basically a breakfast burger with all the helpings! Highly recommend visiting here when you're in Duluth! read more

The evening hostess were surly. We waited for a table, saw 2 other parties seated before us and decided to go somewhere else. As we were leaving, they said our table would be ready before we got anywhere else....but they'd already lost our business. read more

We ordered food from Canal Park Brewing Company for pickup. The wait ended up being quite a lot longer than we were originally told. Upon arriving at the restaurant we were given a timeframe of 10 minutes and we didn't get our food until almost 40 minutes after we got there. Nobody was drinking or eating inside the brewery, but the number of people outside on the patio and waiting to check in raised concerns for me. People were seated close together and it looked like every table was full. No one wearing masks waiting in line (upwards of 15-20 people at a time clumped together in front of the brewery). I personally would not feel safe eating/drinking there so if you're concerned about masking and social distancing measures I would avoid Canal Park Brewery for the time being. As for the food, I would say the dishes were a solid mediocre. We ordered a Juicy Lucy and the Mac and Cheese. We had requested the Juicy Lucy to be cooked as well done as possible and it was pretty much raw on the inside. I know Juicy Lucy's need to be cooked a certain way, but I have been to plenty of restaurants that can cook a Juicy Lucy to have very little or no pink in the meat. The cheese was pretty firm, not oozy and runny like you'd expect from a (good) Juicy Lucy. It also lacked flavor. We had requested no sauce because again, a (good) Juicy Lucy gets its flavor from all the cheese. The patty had no seasoning that I could taste (thankfully we had a side of garlic mayo we were able to add to give it some more flavor). The Mac and Cheese was okay, also a little bland. The best part of the meal was the house-made chips that came with the burger. I had high hopes for this place based on other reviews and recommendations from people local to the area. Unfortunately this just fell really flat. I can't vouch for the beer because we didn't stay and drink (and wouldn't until things are safer since everyone is pretty clumped together). But based on the experience today, my impression of the food is that it was bland and average. read more

Overall I had a great time at Canal Park Brewing. They had a good variety of different beers and both outdoor and indoor seating. My only complaint was that there were not enough places to stay warm outside, they only have one fire pit and that was it. Overall I would recommend coming here and watching ships go by! read more

Still a fan of this place. covid19 has opened extensive outdoor seating! This is certainly a bonus during our summer visit as it was a nice evening and we were shaded by the building. The scenery wasn't very good because the lake walk is under construction. It does provide interesting construction equipment watching. Once this is finished the view will be good as it overlooks Lake Superior. The wait was not bad and the wait staff was very prompt but required a member of our party to go inside to order. The orders were delivered to the table in brown paper bags in styroform containers. Soda still has refills but you have to get them yourself, however, we were lucky to have a great manager that kept our drinks full. They have an extremely limited menu so I ordered a double swiss cheese burger and FF. We also ordered a side of chees curbs. Cheese curbs were just OK, I would pass and instead go with the onion rings I had on a prior visit. The burger had great flavor and the FF are very good. Certainly still on my MUST visit when eating on the canal. read more

Stopped by this brewery after a long and exhausting hike up north and it definitely hit the spot! We wanted to sit down and eat and relax but we also had our dog so we googled dog friendly restaurants and found this nice place. The Cuban sandwich was so good and cheesy and had a hint of sweetness to it! The nachos were perfect and I love how generous they were with the beef. The beer cheese soup absolutely hit the spot especially since it was 40 degrees out! It's self serve when you sit outside but that was so problem for us at all. We just walked up to the bar whenever we wanted to order anything. It was a nice and clean brewery! read more

What I would call a destination brewpub. Canal Park Brewing Company is located in the heart of Canal Park in Duluth with absolutely stunning views of Lake Superior from both inside the restaurant and their amazing patio. While I enjoy the food I feel the beer is just sub par. Drawing business and being successful is almost a guarantee given the location just as long as they put out a good meal and drinkable beer. The craft beer scene in Duluth has become fierce since Canal Park opened but they still dominate for food as far as I'm concerned. We started with a couple appetizers Lobster Cream Cheeae Puffs: 6/10 While I enjoyed these I was confused by them. The word puff lead me to believe I would be getting a pastry of sorts and not a wanton/ragoon Duck Poutine: 6/10 Loved the fresh cut fries and the generous portion of duck. I would have preferred fresh curds over deep fried Smokehouse Burger: 8/10 Nice size patty, thick bacon and a wonder smoked flavor. This would be a 10 if prepared medium well like I ordered and not well. Tuna Poke Bowl: 8/10 Grear size portion. Lots of Tuna. Great sauce. A light and refreshing balance dish that fills you up nice. Beer: 5/10 Our group tried 3 different beers. All somewhat generic. Nothing really stood out other than they all were the same color, aroma and overall taste. Not bad, not great. read more
