My friend and I are from out of town and found that, out of the three bartenders, she was the best. No offense to the guy that works on Wednesday, but he unfortunately did not know how to make a simple martini nor a gimlet, which is featured on the menu as one of the signature drinks. So maybe the girl from Friday nights could teach everyone how to make cocktails. Then, and only then, will everyone be able to serve a good one.

The ambiance changes throughout the day depending on the people and this place makes a great people-watching location. The bartenders have always been friendly and kind and the service is very good. They do or use to have shows and events in another room that's connected to it and these are fun and can get kinda wild. Lots of the people who come here are here for conversation and watching the game and I have found mostly everyone very easy to talk to. If you have not been here I recommend coming on a Friday or Saturday evening. This is a good spot to pregame or to finish the night.

The beer selection was a little smaller than we expected, but there was still a nice variety of styles, so everyone in our group found something they enjoyed. They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails. The food menu was surprisingly large with lots of unique and fun options to try. The only small downside was that the Brussels sprouts were still a little undercooked for our taste, but everything else was excellent and more than made up for it. Excellent brisket, fish n chips, and build your own burger! The garlic aioli and IPA mustard sauces were definitely memorable. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, craft beer, and a fun atmosphere located right on the pier. We'd definitely come back!

We got on the waiting list and were told it'd be about a 30 minute wait. By golly, we know from the time stamps on the texts that it was 32 minutes total. We were seated outside, and service was fast and smooth from that point. We had the pretzel sticks appetizer, which was fantastic. Very soft, hot pretzels, and the queso was thick and loaded with flavor. My husband had the Canal Park red lager and really enjoyed it. My main dish was the birria tacos, which were quite good but could have used more cheese. Salsa and chips were fine, too. My husband had jalapeño popper burger with fries, and really liked it. Checkout was fast and pleasant.

She gave us a heads up that the bartender yells an immature remark when 69 is called. I teach 5th grade, so this attention seeking behavior doesn't bother me. Later the bartender interrupted a patron's order to yell when her favorite number was called, then went on to explain it (to they guy who didn't ask--and who was mid-order), calling anyone bothered by it "assholes." That shift in tone explains why some longtime workers and patrons have started choosing to go elsewhere. If you're looking for a spotlight on the bartender who's trying a little too hard to be edgy, this bar might be for you. If you're looking for a relaxed place to eat and play bingo, it would take some changes from ownership to get back to that.

Drinks, followed by poutine 5 minutes later, then food about 10 minutes after that. We were all done within 30 minutes! The food was fantastic, too. Delicious poutine, with oozy gooey squeaky cheese curds. I had the smoked fish salad; it had the right amounts of everything and felt like a distinctly Duluth dish. My husband had the fish and chips. I had a bite of his fish, and it was perfect, with great batter and flavor. I would happily come here again on a visit. I can see why this is a city institution.

I usually end up not liking the poutine at places, but will try it. Here, I actually really liked it, and will definitely get it again. The same for the onion rings, they were crispy and not too greasy. We also got the inhouse made root beer. That was quite good as well.
