    Best pizza in the tri state area. Been going here for years and they haven't changed a thing about the quality of their pizzas (which is exactly how it should be)

    Pepperoni pizza with feta personal size
    Annie D.

    Great local spot for pizza and live music. They also host various other events like trivia. We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch as my dad liked the local band performing. We got the loaded pretzel bites and a personal sized pizza with pepperoni and feta. I love that they have personal sized pizza options so everyone can get something they like. Food was good and it is a cool location being in an old train depot.

    Just came in for a beer and snack. Our group got the stuffed mushrooms, loaded pretzel and a personal pan pizza. The mushrooms were delicious with some taste of garlic. Loaded pretzel was good too but like mushrooms more. Personal pan even though small was perfect! I washed it down with a craft beer. Come give them a try.

    Excellent service, a creative menu and a good selection of beverages. The reuben appetizer was even better than the calzone, which was excellent! Give this place a try!

    Hands down, some of the best customer service I've had for a large party. I reached out to Deb via email about hosting my daughter soccer team for a team family dinner on a Friday evening. She responded to my request in less than 24 hours. She was very kind and helpful. She graciously gave me time to gather final numbers and call her back about 3 days before the event. We had 40 people, choose to do the salad, pizza, and soda option. They also were able to accommodate with Gluten Free pizzas too! We asked for food to be ready and served right at 7pm and they were set up and right on time!! We had one other server Shana helping. Both Deb and her were smiling and cheerful! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue to groups of all sizes. The building is a historic train depot and they did a wonderful job keeping the original charm of the building while turning it into a beautiful venue!! Thank you Deb and Steve!!

    Personal pizza with sausage, red peppers, and onions.

    This was a nice stop on a weekday night when I was passing through town. They have live entertainment, which worried me at first, but it turned out delightful- a solo singer/acoustic guitarist with real talent. The personal pizza (I chose sausage, red peppers, onions) was quite tasty. The tomato soup special tasted a bit too much like pizza sauce, which was a little odd (but OK). Staff were very friendly, but unable to properly recommend a smooth tasting beer out of their collection (I'm sure they do better with IPAs).

    Cheese bread

    We were in town for Grandma's Marathon and picked this place for our post race dinner. We could not have picked a more perfect place! There was a short wait of 15-20 minutes when our party of four arrived. We went to a bar for a couple beverages while we waited. I ordered the Lawn Chair cream ale and, to be honest, it was one of my least favorite cream ales I've had. Still, any beer is good after a marathon. We were seated within the 15-20 minutes they quoted. We ordered the cheese bread as an appetizer which came with a cup of dipping sauce. I love pizza sauce so that was a great plus. We ordered second beers. This time I had the Dreams of Orange cream ale. Now that one was a wonderful cream ale! Then we all ordered pizzas. Husband and son split a large pizza. The waitress warned them that it was very big and I told her that we'd just run a marathon. She said even so she didn't think they could eat it all. Darned if she wasn't right! It was the thickest, most topping filled pizza I have ever seen! Granted it was not cheap at $42 but they loved it and did have leftovers. Son's girlfriend ordered a 10 inch pizza and I ordered a gluten free spinach and feta. Mine was fabulous, especially for a gluten free and also came with delicious dipping sauce! It was the perfect post race meal! I highly recommend it if you're hungry and like beer and pizza.

    This was some of the best pizza that we've had! The crust was amazing. Loved that the patio was dog friendly as well. Awesome menu with lots of options. Pizza, calzones, a large selection of brews. I liked being able to do a personal pizza with 3 toppings. Their homemade sausage was bomb. We definitely will make this a regular stop when we go up north again!

    Stopped in twice while camping in the area. Place was recommended by my nephew who has played music there a few times. He knows we like quality craft beer and pizza. Man, we were not disappointed! Nice selection of different brews, tasty pizza, breads and salads, friendly capable servers. Unique setting inside and out. Plenty of parking. I treated myself to some merch. Owner Steve there the 2nd time we were in and he was incredibly personable and knowledgeable.

    Welcome to TPB!

    This place is such a vibe! It's like a eclectic hippie took a Green Mill and made it their own. Came on a Wednesday eve and it was moderately full and a epic mustache guy strumming on a guitar. All the young (good looking) staff were attentive and kind. Seemed clean and family friendly(ish)! There are a few tables outside and did see a couple with a dog. Food came out promptly and was good. Brownie for dessert was just OK. Despite my mediocre brownie - I would recommend and will definitely be visiting again!

    Upon first looks on the place it seemed kind run down. Not a very clean location on the outside. However, we decided to sit on the patio. The drinks and food were pretty good. If you are looking for some unique breweries check this place out.

    Chicken alfredo pizza sub red sauce and missing chicken
    Ericka B.

    Went here on a Wednesday night while in town. We were surprised by some live music when we arrived. We didn't catch the singers name, but were very impressed. Also impressive is the number of rooms to this restaurant. We were in what seemed like one of the main sections, but as we looked around, we found a few more dining areas. Our waitress was quick to come and get our drink order and appetizer order and was very friendly. We ended up ordering a flight of four beers: North Coast Amber, Burntwood Black, Lawnchair, and Room for Cream. My favorite was the amber as it was smooth and very drinkable. My friend's favorite was the Room for Cream, which he described as the best light coffee beer he's had. This one worked very well, where most don't. For our appetizer, we got the lasagna rolls with sausage. It was quite tasty and the ricotta was thick and well flavored. The sausage also had a nice little kick to it to cut the cream. Also ordered was the chicken alfredo pizza, but with the standard red sauce as opposed to the alfredo. It had a nice pan style crust and the presentation was pretty fun in the pan. Definitely one of the better pizzas I've had and that was without the chicken on it! Odd occurrence we had was that we took a couple slices and couldn't taste/find any chicken on our chicken alfredo pizza. We mentioned it to our waitress and she checked with the kitchen. They told her that the chicken was finely shredded, but we couldn't taste or find it, so she ended up bringing us out a cup of chicken. The pizza was even better with the addition of its main ingredient. Overall, great service and very good food and beers. Only downside is that the pizzas are on the more expensive side with the 13" pizzas being slightly more expensive than the 16" pizzas at most places. They do taste good though.

    Good friends, United in Wisconsin

    Overpriced, low quality. $50 for one pizza is ridiculous. Waits are long and there is no parking.

    I had heard great things about Bent Paddle Brewing's taproom - and it did not disappoint. A huge…read morestage with music set up outside and the inside was extremely expansive. Bent Paddle Brewing Company is a family-owned and operated craft brewery and taproom in Duluth, Minnesota. The brewery opened in May 2013 and uses Lake Superior water to brew it's beers and hemp beverages. Bent Paddle's mission is to create a unique craft beer experience while also being sustainable for the business, employees, environment, and community. And they deliver on it all. I got a flight to enjoy some of their more limited offerings. Munchin Pretzels: An Oktoberfest beer brewed with traditional German Malts and Hops. I get toasted bread malt character with a bit of sweetness, but rounded out by a hop bitterness. The malt profile is definitely the forefront and I wished I had a pretzel to go with it. Infinity Stuf: An Oatmeal Stout that they went all out with 100 pounds of Oreos. Nutty oatiness, chocolate, and medium fullness. I appreciate it not being a Pastry Stout, but still get lots of Oreo character. A Beer of Their Own: A Hoppy Pale Ale brewed in collaboration with a Bar Of Their Own in the Twin Cities. Tropical fruit forward - primarily melon and cantaloupe, with a nice finish. Stratarado: A Hoppy Pale Ale brewed with Strata and El Dorado (get the name?). Tropical fruit, pineapple, some sweetness on the tongue. Liked this one a lot. ______

Researching different parks, restaurants, coffee places and breweries, Warrior's art caught my eye. Curious to try the beer behind the bottle, we had the chance to drop by on our way southbound to Minneapolis about a month ago. Despite being in a multi-business strip mall, Warrior commands its own space the second you walk in. The owner was incredibly laid-back and welcoming, offering suggestions base on taste palate and providing a couple of free small samples before committing. I'm open to try any style myself, from the lightest table beer to the most robust barrell-aged stout; Warrior's selection runs the gamut in bold, distinct contrast. I highly recommend the flight (even if you're not the biggest beer fan, you have to appreciate the sword-shaped serving board). Personal standouts were the Barbarian Imperial Stout (much less harsh or boozy than you might expect) and the Samurai Red IPA. A short drive southwest of downtown, don't miss Warrior on a trip through Duluth. I may have to battle that commute from STL to make another visit myself someday.
