Bent Paddle is the best brewery in town, easily. Canal Park is a good venue if you don’t care about the quality of beer as much. Hoops is a new one with a fair amount of hype but I haven’t tried it yet.
This has been your Duluth area brewery update. Tune in next time...

Awesome ideas, thanks! Not a drinker but still appreciate the recommendations. Looking for a good sports bar/restaurant to catch the Vikings game on Sunday.
I will be in Grand Marais as that will be where I'm getting on trail, ending up only a short distance away in Cascade River State Park. So maybe a quick stop at the art gallery could happen.

The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....
...Which is why I live near the Twin Cities.
I feel I should chime in as I live in Duluth lol
Hoops is really good - its just a huge german style beer hall with no kitchen. LOTS of beer choices
310 Pub across the street is also great. Lots of 'yard games' and such inside on artificial turf plus a good menu and beer selection

The Sports Garden is by far the best place to watch a Vikings game in duluth. There will be a few hundred people there, the game is the only thing on all the tvs and projector screen. It's the official KQ95 party spot and they usually give out prizes and tickets to upcoming games. Lots of food/drink specials.

If you're up in GM check out the Wunderbar (https://www.facebook.com/wunderbarmn/) just for the Bison swag on the wall by the bar. Food is decent too ...
With all do respect to TAB, he did not live there. Little Angies was always horrible and only naive tourists go there (which I told him numerous times, but he is stubborn like me); I think he somehow hit the right day! Must dos:
1. If in Duluth, hike Chester Bowl trial. No, you won't find it on any tourism sites as Duluth people are funny; they don't tell you the best stuff. Find Chester Bowl on a map; get there, and the trial starts under the bridge. It is awesome.
2. Getting late in the year, but go walk the sand beach in Duluth. No, you won't find it on any tourism sites as Duluth people are funny; they don't tell you the best stuff. Head over the lift bridge and drive as far as you can on park point to the very end. (small airport there). Then, hike over the dunes to the beach and enjoy a great walk. (can swim in August)
3. Sven and Oles pizza in Grand Marais is fantastic. And get the bumper sticker.
4. Further up the shore, the Devil's Kettle on the superior hiking trial is a must see.
5. And if you go that far, go all the way to the border and check out pigeon falls; if memories serves, biggest in all of Minnesota. Phenominal.
Best places to eat in Duluth that are still there since I left:
1. Pickwick; fantastic steaks cooked on charcoal. Price is not nuts.
2. There is a good BBQ place in west duluth; perfect of lunch. (actually new since I left so don't know the name)
3. Bellesios on Park Point. Great authentic Italian.
4. The original Grandma's by the lift bridge. Get the Wild Cajun Chicken with the wild rice; f'ing awesome stuff. Chicken wild rice soup is also a specialty.
Trumpster lives there, so hope he chimes in.
