The owner greeted us and poured us a beer and shared the story of this building and pointed out the tile floor is the original floor from the early 1900's. It's a beautiful location and he made an outstanding Bloody Mary (Wisconsin style with a ton of eats and a beer chaser). Once the weather improved, we got back on the trail. It's a great location and the owner suggested where we should go for dinner in nearby Rice Lake. From the looks of things at this old school supper club, this will be a winner too! The only thing to be aware of is he does cash only--no credit cards. A great day indeed! Thanks Corner House Inn!

We've always ordered their Old Fashioned, so tonight was no exception. I wasn't too fond of the bourbon used but the drink was well made and was on a nice big ice cube. The vibe here is "speakeasy" in my opinion. Each time we've been here, there's only one person working and he stays busy. But he is very efficient, so we've never waited long for our drinks. One room here has a small stage and PA setup. We've never been here when they had entertainment. But they always have music on in the background for ambiance. Thanks Jade Fountain for capping off our week-long visit to Duluth. See you next time.

The vibe is a little lounge-y and a little downton abby. There are little nooks to sit in everywhere. We got there early in the evening so it was quiet as far as people but the music was cranked up to club level. We ordered our drinks at the bar and were a little disappointed when the bartenders did not engage at all. Even when we asked questions. The drinks were done really well. All in all it was a fun place to check out!

The service was great, but the food was terrible. We ordered deep fried chicken and what we got was some very small and extremely dried reheated pieces. I say reheated because deep fried chicken takes more then 5 minutes to cook and it tasted reheated. Besides the dried out food, there were two dogs running around INSIDE the restaurant that bothered us most of the time by trying to sniff our laps while we were eating. it's to bad, but we won't be back.

The 5-star reviews describing this place as a cocktail lounge or having met interesting people must be locals having a laugh at those of us who were looking for something unique in WBL. This is not it. It was loud, full of drunk people shouting at each other, and too busy for the single poor bartender trying to keep everyone served. They had a decent bar for mixed drinks but only serve Heggie's pizza for food. They only take cash--unless you're a regular (then they'll take your plastic). So bring cash, get one drink, and then run down the street to somewhere with a better menu and your choice of whiskeys.

I'm happy to recommend this restaurant!

Great vibe and friendly staff, but held back by service delays and AC issues. We started our visit…read morewith high hopes because the mood here was cheery and everyone was incredibly friendly. Unfortunately, once we were seated, several operational issues impacted our experience.It was quite obvious the restaurant was short-staffed. There appeared to be no designated bartender, meaning our drinks took a very long time. In fact, our appetizer actually beat our drinks to the table (and we only ordered two Bloody Marys and four waters).The food quality was a total mixed bag:The Good: The chicken and waffles and the braised beef sandwich were absolutely delicious.The Bad: The chicken Caesar salad was sub-par. The lettuce was warm, and the croutons were soft and spongy like cake. There was also barely any chicken on it.Lastly, the temperature control was highly uncomfortable. We sat at the circular table directly to the left of the entrance. It was 70 degrees outside, but the floor vent blew freezing cold air on us for the entire hour. I even went to the restroom to get away from the draft, but the bathroom was somehow even colder.The staff's great attitude is a huge asset, but management needs to fix the understaffing, salad quality control, and the intense AC blasting near the door.

Say it with me: OVERRATED. The scene is odd, the furnishings…read moreare odd (old office chairs and old wheelchairs for seating) but I could get past all of that if the drinks were actually good... Sometimes you look at a drink menu and are intrigued but a bunch of options, this place was the opposite, not one drink looked good. All of the options are very masculine in nature: vermouth, bitters, etc.. you would think there would be something with like vodka or tequila and some fruit but nope. There was one drink that almost fit that profile but they threw in pink peppercorn and I was told that under no circumstance would they alter the ingredients... makes me think the bartender is either incapable or a complete jerk. In any case, bad customer service. I came here with 3 others and no one liked their drinks.
