Top 9 Food & Drink in Duluth, Minnesota (MN)
Perfectly positioned at the westernmost tip of sparkling blue Lake Superior, Duluth offers visitors a true escape from the stresses of everyday life and an opportunity to enjoy nature. You can opt for a more leisurely pace: spending time at one of the city's 23 beautiful parks, taking an unhurried drive along the scenic North Shore, bird watching at Hawk Ridge, skipping stones on the Lake with the kids. Or go for a more structured itinerary: the aquarium in the morning, lunch at a sumptuous restaurant on the waterfront plus a tour of the famous Sculpture Walk, then a visit to the historic Railroad Depot in the afternoon. Either way, you are sure to leave Duluth feeling relaxed and refreshed.

We came to Duluth for two nights from the Cities and wanted to immerse ourselves in the beer scene. This was our first brewery and ended up being our favorite. They had a great selection. I especially found their porter delicious (I think they had more than one). We ended up staying for 3 or so instead of 2 because it was a cozy taproom with lots of games. We ended up playing multiple games. I would definitely go back. I wish we would have gotten some growlers to go. They also seemed to have great merchandise.

We were here on Friday October 16th Love, love love! This was our first trip to Vikre, We came upon it by chance, walked in and got a super warm reception and consultation on what was available. They have only outside seating at the moment but it was cozy. We ordered the warm drinks, I had the Apple cider with a cedar gin and it was fabulous. My partner had the hot Toddy, both were expertly made. Walking through the space to get to the restroom, it's almost like a tour, it makes me want to come back when it's safe to open the inside up to see more. It is gorgeous! It's also worth mentioning the outside, you see the lift bridge up close and personal, this place is so worth visiting. Lovely setting, friendly service and great drinks. We will be back next year.

One of the nicer breweries in the area. It was their Octoberfest. Nice friendly staff with a great beer selection. We sat at the bar and watched the staff, they were very busy but always gave the customers their full attention. I would go back and visit again. Again - good beer selection.

Popped in late afternoon to see this wonderful new space in Duluth! Greeted by friendly staff with recommendations for amazing dry cider. The tasting room is full of natural light and has a beautiful “living wall” of vibrant plants. We ordered the charcuterie board full of delicious treats. Relaxing, lovely and refreshing. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I were in Duluth celebrating our anniversary and we wanted to explore another area in Duluth as we have previously enjoyed the Canal Park area. Lincoln Park was recommended as an up and coming area. We stopped at Duluth Cider when they opened for the day. Very clean. We both tried different flights of the ciders. I enjoyed the more drier ones and he the sweeter ones. We both found one we thoroughly enjoyed and took with us a crowler and a growler of the tasty ciders. This overall area is still a work in progress but this Cidery is a wonderful gem. We are glad we tried it and will make it a planned visit on all our upcoming visits to Duluth.
