The pizza is incredible! Beer is delicious! Fun atmosphere and very friendly staff. Not sure I love the ordering method and the lack of take out containers/box. Hard to bring home a pizza in a paper bag. With that said, I will still go back because it's just that good. read more

It was ok I had a cider and gluten free pizza. Both were good but there is no where near enough cheese on their pizzas. Plus it took like half an hour to get it. Way too long IMO. read more

Cool brewery. I wish we had chosen to eat here instead of where we went, but the beers were good and we'll thought out. Very inclusive atmosphere. The beertender was excited and knowledgeable about their brews. The queue to order expanded and contracted quickly, so even if there looks to be a long wait, it goes quickly. I/we wanted merch to support, but nothing seemed to hit us right. read more

Ursa Minor Brewing - 4 beers in a flight. - Brewpubs Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Craft beer was fine, pizza was good for wood fired, but my god.....there were tons of unsupervised kids running wild!! Absolutely ridiculous. I'm not some old guy shaking my fist at the clouds, but what happened to parenting?? read more

Excellent pizza and wide selection of draft beers on hand. Something for everyone and also kid friendly.

Stopped by Monday for a casual dinner of wood fired pizza and tasty brews. Had the extra powered IPA and Oktoberfest. Both luscious beautiful brews. The very chill indoor atmosphere added a nice vibe to the flavorful Wise Yker pie. Great blend of meat cheese and onions. My only suggestion would be to add a couple pepperoncini's on the side to wake up my palate! read more

Love this brewery! They have an awesome patio layout. The patio is huge so there's a lot of spots to choose from, you can sit by the fire or underneath the pergola. They have awesome beer choices I really enjoyed the pale ale. We also ordered food this time around, the pizza is delicious! Crispy and flavorful - the cheesy panini was good too! read more

We stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon and it was so crowded we left. Returned on a Monday and was great. Open patio and dining. We enjoyed two pizzas from their brick oven, as well as a bag of Windy City Three Mad Poppers popcorn, and a pretzel with beer cheese and popcorn. Also enjoyed a tiny glass of a very nice cider. read more

Ursa Minor has such a cozy and friendly vibe! The staff is super personable, and the atmosphere is the best! They have plentyyy of game options which I took full advantage of, and their merchandise is also great! All of their shirts are comfort colors which I love, and the hammock is seriously beautiful!! Now onto the drinks-- I love all of the fun names! Platform Nine and Three Porters tasted awesome and sounded cute!! I even tried the lavender kombucha, and I am not usually a kombucha gal but I really enjoyed it! They have truly thought of everything here-- there are little constellations everywhere! The patio also has cozy fire places that are a perfect place to spend your evening! The pizzas and pretzels even have you covered for dinner!! read more

Had to stop by for my carb load the day before Grandma's! The pizza was satisfying but, personal preference, was hoping for a little more ricotta on the Voyager. The red chili pepper flakes gave it a nice bite. We also had the Bear Bread and it was a nice thin crust cheesy, toasty bread. The marinara sauce it came with was really good. I enjoyed the oatmeal stout, Zaddy's Breakfast. Highly recommend the Ewok Cuddles and Bieramisu! Overall, this is a cool lunch place to visit with its outdoor patio and indoor industrial vibe! read more

Ursa Minor Brewing - Zaddy's Breakfast - Brewpubs Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Duluth is brimming to the rim with breweries these days. This is one of my favorite trends occurring across the States currently, and especially enjoyable in my own. Ursa stands out in the sense that 1) they make their own food; 2) that the food they make is brick-oven pizza; and 3) that the brand they promote is, in this fella's opinion, pretty nice. From sweatshirts to water bottles, I definitely would have purchased something if I didn't have limited space in my suitcase for my flight home. What separates Ursa from a five-star brewery, again in my opinion, is the price of their products, the good, (but not stellar) taste of their pizza, and the average selection of brews on tap. To be absolutely fair, this is as my first and only visit, so this last critique is likely to be taken with a grain of salt, though nothing was even remotely displeasing. Soooooooo, my suggestion is go try this place. And then probably try it a second and third time to leave a more nuanced, accurate review. I know I'll be back when possible to do the same. read more

I just had to write an update, and give another star, because we went again this weekend and were SO IMPRESSED with the outdoor patio for winter conditions! There's a tent with heaters in addition to several fire pits on the patio, with tables adjacent so you can eat the most delicious wood fired pizza in the area! We ordered The Nomad, and swapped the sausage for basil. House pickled red onion, oyster mushrooms, parmesan, mozzarella, YUM. You have to eat it super fast if it's cold outside though, which was not a problem for us. We loved our server Leah, she was so kind and attentive. She even came out and stoked our fire with more wood without us asking. We should have gone back the next night for dinner again, instead of the terrible meal that we had at Canal Park. Kicking ourselves! Previous review: We had a great time at Ursa Minor last night! We had only intended to stop for one round, and then continue hopping breweries and tasting all we could in the very brewery-prolific West-end Duluth. But when we realized there was a band setting up, complete with a horn section, we decided to stick around and enjoy some live music. What a treat! The band was very entertaining. And the beers were pretty good too. My favorites were the Pontoon Pounder (a mild sour) and May Flowers. I tried all of the sours, but didn't care for the strongest one or another more floral one. The staff was very sweet, even going out of their way to find us some earplugs. The only complaints I have are the place was packed- too packed for the times- it was super claustrophobic waiting shoulder to shoulder in 20 minute lines to get a drink or use the restrooms. They should remodel and do traditional restrooms, so more than one person can use them at once. Single occupancy rooms always create super long lines, because people take their time once they have a monopoly on the room. They also could use a lot more seating on their gravel patio. People were sitting on the rocky ground, that could not have been comfortable. I wish I'd gotten to try their wood fired pizzas, they smelled so good and had some creative combos. We did try the Carmel cheese Windy City popcorn, turns out it was made in Bloomington MN. It was pretty good and at $5 not too bad a deal. We will definitely be back! read more

Beer, pizza, and live acoustic music made for a nice Sunday lunch with friends. Enjoyed the Hazed & Confused hazy sour and the Action Slacks hazy IPA. Friends liked the pepperoni and nomad pizzas, but unfortunately the voyager left a little to be desired as they were out of mushrooms and seems like the balsamic glaze was barely there. Could've used more drizzle or other flavor, but still left happy and satisfied. Crust was perfection in the wood fire oven. Service was friendly and the musician was great! Cool, casually atmosphere, and also some cute merch. Definitely would come back. Cheers! read more

My husband came there for the Bearista coffee beer, I tagged along for the pizza. Both were excellent. A bit long of a wait for the pizza, but it was a busy Saturday afternoon. (And the bartender let us know that up front - thank you!) Wish the Bearista was a year-around option!! read more

What can I say but wow. From the patio to inside we very much enjoyed our experience at Ursa Minor. We had two great beers and enjoyed the outside fires they had going and made some new friends. Next time we will stay for pizza as their oven looks amazing. read more

First time at this brewery. I travel full time and hit craft breweries in every place I stay, from the west coast to British Columbia, Alberta to Michigan so far. Ursa Minor has a good vibe with inside and outside seating. Dog friendly and a glass for my beer even for outside. I didn't try their food. Nice west coast style IPA with the hoppiness I expected. I definitely would go back and try their New England style hazy or a stout. read more

Ursa Minor was so fun! It was packed on a Friday night, so a bit hard to find somewhere to sit (at least inside, there were tons of tables outside). The beer is excellent, ordered the Galactic Face Slap because of the name and was not disappointed. The Wise Yker pizza was great! The Bear Bread was skippable. read more

Very cool place. The staff and food were great. The staff was welcoming. The outdoor patio looks great bout we were there at 45 below so we stayed inside with a fun decor n read more

We came here on a Friday afternoon for some beverages and snacks. I had the badass princess warrior, a hazy ipa. It was delicious. My husband had a stout, and liked it. My kids got root beer and also enjoyed it. There is a patio and a huge outdoor area. There is a lot of seating inside as well. read more

Ursa has become one of my all-time favorite breweries and definitely my favorite in the Duluth area! They have so many great brews and they continue to innovate. With a wide variety of options, awesome pizza, and a cool atmosphere, I can't recommend Ursa enough. read more

Stopped on our way through Duluth & Ursa Minor hit everything we were looking for. From the coziness of the inside, to the drool-worthy pizza & huge drink menu! We had the wise yker pizza, bear bread & apple pie kumbucha. Everything was to die for, 10/10 recommend! read more

After getting lost on a hike and not having a real meal for hours, I can't fully trust my opinion on this (because I probably could have eaten anything!) but I still think it's worth a stop! Really interesting flavors of stone fired pizzas and tasty beers in a cutey setting with a giant patio with twinkle lights. read more

This was our first stop on our way up north to Lutsen to ski for the weekend. I had the drunkel Gandolf or something like that and my partner had an IPA. The service was really good and I felt people were too close for my comfort so I went outside by the wood fire pit. The fire pits are really nice and an added bonus and without them I would have peaced out. One thing I think is majorly bunk is there is a 15% service charge which doesn't go to gratuity!! What?!? And then the options for gratuity are 3%, 5% and 8%-seriously?!? And the people who work here were outside shoveling water! I don't know how this place keeps staffed. Yes the beer is good and I don't know how to support a place with so low gratuity options for staff unless they get paid a fair and fixed wage. read more

This is a great little brewery in Duluth that also has great pizzas - albeit the menu is limited. The pizza. Made with the correct flour for the crust, this would be great pizza in Chicago or New York! It's a wonderful surprise in pizza greatness! Wise Yker - pork loin, hot Italian sausage and Gorgonzola. It's top of our list - ooooooooooo! Voyager- kale, mushrooms, basaltic. Yes please! Nomad- our 3rd fav but still a home run! One side bar: the center of the pizzas were not quite done and very juicy. People we were with said this was not normal. Beer - 18 different beers on tap I went with the cream ale, a light ale with pleasant flavor. It went well with the pizza. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!' read more

Favorite spot in Duluth!! Have a large selection of alcoholic beverages and N/A beverages. The pizza selection is fantastic and all the other options are as well! Don't even get me started on the out door heated patio read more

Not our favorite place after trying many spots in Duluth over the past five weeks. The beer was fine but the glasses were somewhat warm so the beer was not cold. The food was extremely average. The pizza was dry and tasted like tomato sauce without flavor. We love Duluth's Best Bread but the pretzel tasted stale. The women who helped us select our beet acted like she was doing us a favor. Service is always better when the customer tips. Ursa adds the tip to the check; I suspect so they can legally share the tip totals with all staff not just waiters. Then they push hard for an tip extra. They push a screen in your face without the option to select no extra tip. I just signed and pushed a button that said "paper receipt" and the transaction was over. Did I mention our tab was $47 for two beers, small pizza, and pretzel? read more

I had the cream ale and a German pretzel both very delicious. The staff was very friendly. During COVID times you give your number and wait for them to call you when a table is ready and you can't order anything while waiting for a table. I understand they're doing their best during this time and respected that. I saw that others were snippy with the hostess for this and that's just ridiculous. I appreciate the staff navigating extra hard during this time. I'm from the east coast and this was my first taste of mid western hospitality - very impressed read more

Great ambiance, friendly staff and delicious pizza. Beer was great, they let us try a few before making our minds.

We have been told to go there to eat. We've been there for beer. Last week we traveled to the North Shore from Orlando, FL. We went to Ursa Minor specifically for lunch. We ordered our pizza "well done." My goodness it was burnt to a crisp. I could not believe anyone would even serve it like that. We had our 14 month old grandson and he needed to eat. We finished our beer, threw out the pizza and went to the Duluth Grille which is ALWAYS GREAT. read more

Perfect patio for a windy spring day. I split a pepperoni pizza with friends (no brews for me). The patio is protected from the wind and has heaters. It was 55 degrees outside and I was comfortable! Service was awesome - food was delivered to our table outside and a server even bussed our table for us. Would recommend! read more

Good pizza and great beer selection, one of the best breweries in Duluth. Nice outdoor seating area and expanded indoor seating area.

Such a great little brewery in Duluth. I wish I got the name of the duo that performed on Thursday night they were great vibe for a rainy fall day. The woodfire gave the scent as if you were away at the cabin. Now I'm not a huge beer drinker so I always go for a light beer. I had the constellation cream ale and it's one of ten first beers that I could picture myself drinking all night long. My bf got the Helmet Hair after checking reviews on untapped and said it was one of the best IPA's he's ever had 5/5. For dinner we shared Wise Yker pizza. Crust was baked to perfection. The Gorgonzola was a nice touch and the meat toppings great portion. Highly recommend to anyone in the Duluth area read more
