Out here on the North Shore, the center of town life is often the municipal bar + liquor store…read more This is a canonical example of that Minnesota tradition. One very overworked female bartender, frozen bar pizza plus apps from the deep fryer (frozen pickles nom), cold beer on draft, and a pull tabs machine in the corner. This particular one gets props in a couple respects. First, great drafts -- I haven't seen Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter in a long long time. Second, they actually have their own house whiskey -- a California bourbon barrel selection from Savage & Cooke. And it's quite good! Third, the locals are pretty welcoming of a city slicker. I did get quizzed fairly extensively about my religious and political beliefs by one very close talking local, but at no point was she inappropriate or jerky, and when I said "hey, I need to pay attention to my kid", she chilled out and let me drink and play cards with my daughter. I can't say as I'm going to be up this way a lot (pretty much did what we wanted to do at the state parks), but if I were, I'd hit this lounge again, it's the best and most reliable food and drink option in a 5 mile radius. (Their competitors in Beaver Bay are also pretty great, so it's a hard call to make.)

The service here is top notch - each time I've been in, the store staff member has been very helpful in finding things. This last time, when the firestarters were out of stock, they gave us extra paper bags and old newspaper. Selection is a bit limited, but that's to be expected for a general store. They have a decent variety for grocery, and some other home essentials. The last few times I've been in, they've been out of firestarters - which is one of the only things I come here for! Besides that, this is a great spot to go if you forgot something or need to pick up a few things during your North Shore stay.

I'm from NJ but a friend from MN recommended this place telling me it's the best beer in the state. I visited on a Saturday in August and it looks like a lot of others agreed because it was absolutely slammed my whole time there. They had three lines at the bar for ordering beer and all three were packed with people all the way to the door. The taplist featured a nice variety of beers including a Märzen, a lime lager, a cream ale, a stout, etc. Almost no two beers were alike. I had a flight and the beers I had were good, but nothing really wowed me. I've been to over a hundred breweries in NJ and I've never seen THC drinks on a taplist, so that was unique for me. They also had a nice variety of hard seltzers and hard slushies, plus a wide variety of NA options including NA beers. So something for everyone here. Overall a nice spot with competently brewed beers that I would return to if I were ever in the area again.

There is a crosswalk but be careful, people drive quick! The space itself is small, no tables inside just a counter for ordering. It looked pretty busy when we got in but our food was ready in about 15 minutes. It was delicious and we will definitely make a stop next time we are in the area.

That said, it could be entirely possible that the crew we encountered at the outdoor hot tub the night prior could have been responsible for wiping out most of their inventory; those guys were out to party hard.
