Crowded on a Friday night until the wee hours (1-2 a.m.)

Jul 2023 • solo

Great atmosphere--mostly 20-something customers. Huge list of beers on tap including my favorite Minnesota IPA called Surly Furious, and of course Guinness Stout. I did not try the Guinness (the ultimate was the two pints of stout you get in Dublin's St. James Gate brewery). I ordered the Reuben sandwich with fries which was excellent. The pub has open wi-fi so one connect with other peeps in Duluth above the noise of a rambunctious Friday night throng LOL. Only a few blocks down the hill from the only hostel in Duluth (Hostel du Nord).

Fun!

May 2023 • none

Fun! Believe me, a Irish Pub in the center of Duluth. So much fun for those that want some “controlled” noise and happy people. The Pub is old and the decor is old but it is very inviting and welcoming. People around you, patrons, are friendly. The Bar tenders and servers are great and hospitable and professional. The fun also is that one needs to order the food. One goes to the bar and then the servers bring the food to your table. I don’t know if this is Irish way but us nice to do it. The Reuben Eggrolls are great and delicious. Try also the Fish and Chips. Remember, Chips in that world are French fries. Drinks? Well, both Bartenders are really professional and knowledgeable. As I said, if you like that “controlled”noise that goes up and down while there is a Pool Tournament, but, behind all of that enjoyment, there is a sweet music coming from a little Theater behind all of that mare magnum. Anyway, if you are nearby, stop by, unless your ears will not accept a high decibel but fun ones. Enjoy!

Nice little pub, great service! The atmosphere definitely has an Irish flair to it. I would recommend a visit and look forward to doing so again.

Some of the best fries around

Oct 2021 • none

I’m not sure whether I should begin with the good or the bad, so I’ll start out on a positive note. We shared the fish and chips. The fries were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. You can get a small or large order of fish and chips. The large order included five medium size pieces of fish and tartar sauce. Some Cole Slaw would have gone well but wasn’t offered. Now the bad: There wasn’t anyone to seat customers and a sign says to grab a menu, seat yourself and order at the bar. The bartender then brings your food and you never see anyone again. This is primarily a bar with billiard tables taking up one full half of the restaurant. We were there on a Saturday night and it was LOUD. The restaurant has a dingy, barroom feel to it. That said, the fish and chips WERE good and I’d probably give it a try for something else.

Great Beer and Hamburger

Aug 2022 • couples

Wife had a nice red ale and tasty hamburger ... I had a Harp lager, and a disgusting appetizer, Ruben spring rolls, it came out dripping in fryer grease ... avoid at all costs if you value your arteries !!

Not a Good Experience

Oct 2021 • none

We had been here before while visiting Duluth so we thought we would go again. The comedy was very raw and we really wanted to leave shortly after arriving but had ordered food. Our food was awful and we didn't eat much. We will not return.

Interesting place; we'd not return

Jul 2021 • none

Whatever is going on here is a bit odd. You seat yourselves and then walk up to the bar to place your order--for food as well as bar items. I.e., no table service at all. The food was WAY too salty! The dry-rub chicken wings were so salty as to be almost inedible. We had to scrape the rub off with a knife as best we could. The other food was "okay" but nothing special--except for the smoked whitefish which was excellent.

Limited Food Menu

Feb 2021 • none

We went to this bar because it looked like they had really awesome Irish food, but unfortunately they were serving a limited menu due to COVID, so we decided to have a beer instead an find food elsewhere. I had their ale from their brewhouse and it was very tasty.

Great find on a cold, wet afternoon

Oct 2019 • couples

Great find on a cold, wet afternoon. Warm welcome and quiet on a Saturday early afternoon. Enjoyed a late lunch, beer and hot toddy. Fun atmosphere and good food. A bit funky, but I realize that’s what it’s supposed to be.

Didn’t want to leave - we’ll even go to Duluth when it’s cold to get back!

Aug 2019 • couples

We stumbled upon the Dubh Linn after severe storms made us leave the beach and seek the shelter of a downtown parking garage. This place was close to where we parked so we stopped in. How had we not experienced it before in our many trips to Duluth??? This place was great! Our food was great and the entire menu looked delicious, including many Irish favorites. Though we couldn’t stay long we’re making plans to go back with many friends to try the whiskeys - their selection is the largest in MN. There were many beers and ciders to choose from as well. We ordered gift cards for Christmas gifts and some desserts (brandy cream puffs anyone?) to go to share at our next stop. We’ll be planning to go back and stay near the restaurant to make a day of it soon. The pub itself had a fun traditional vibe to it, and is likely quite lively in the evenings. There are options for group seating, booths, tables, bar seating, and a private room to accommodate whoever you’re with. The bartenders were amazing - very knowledgeable and friendly. This bar is the perfect excuse to visit Duluth even when it’s cold and snowy out. And if you want a fabulous place to stay for the night, A G Thomson House is less than a 10 minute drive away. Enjoy!
