6 years agoStopped in for a quick drink because I was in the area. Was greeted by very friendly staff and bartender. I didn’t even know what I wanted to drink but explained that I didn’t want anything “overly sweet“ and voilà a yummy drink appeared before me at a very affordable rate. Will go back again and can’t wait… The atmosphere is friendly and everybody was very nice…!!!

6 months agoTHE SPOT for fun in downtown Duluth; This place is absolutely amazing! The crowd is a lot of fun, they have tons of affordable beer, and a plethora of delicious spirits. The owners are so crafty and knowledgable one can go there every day for the next decade and not have the same drink twice. Ask Chaz, the bartender with the cool tattoos, to surprise you, and he’ll make you something delicious you’ve never had before and won’t find anywhere else. Then there’s a taller bartender named Cade who is extremely friendly and super fun to talk to. Chatting with him will put a smile on your face and brighten your day. The best part is you can get drinks and order pizza from Sammy’s & eat it right there with your drinks. I wish I knew about this place sooner and I hope it never changes because it is terrific.
