The flame is a long-standing establishment in Duluth. That is a bar that caters to the lgbtq plus community but welcomes all. Their dance nights on Friday and Saturday are an absolute blast. If you are part of the community or an ally of the community, you will find nowhere safer than the flame in Duluth.
The bartenders are talkative and friendly. The security is top notch and they have the smoking area out back. What more could you ask for?
Obviously like most places downtown parking is atrocious but you're going to be having so much fun that you may as well call a cab.

Be careful: Flame is basically a straight bar with gay themes (e.g., rainbow flags). While the bar is one of the major hosts for Duluth Pride, the space attracts more college-aged people (UMD likely) rather than a local gay scene. While the atmosphere resembles a typical college bar, it is nonetheless accepting of all - gay and straight. The drinks are somewhat small, not too strong, and served in plastic cups. Excellent and friendly service.
Parking: Simply park on the street, but double check signs for parking restrictions (like some streets have no parking starting at 10pm).

I don't feel safe here as a person who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community. My friends and I have been roofied here more times than anyone should ever experience (we are always safe with our drinks), to the point to where I started to only order canned drinks (opened in front of me) and it "magically stopped." On top of that they hire staff who harass and stalk paying customers.A hot mess college bar that uses the identity as a LGBTQ+ bar.Not a bar for the they's, gays, and gals.My friends and I will continue to swear off this establishment and the tainted name they have built for themselves.

This place was great. Drink specials are phenomenal. Atmosphere was great, we got there before the wave of people for the night club, both moods were fun. Great place for pool and to dance. Bouncers and bartenders were nice and fun to chat with. Would recommend you stop for a night out on the town.

Bartender Race is SO SWEET and kind and fun. I’d definitely come back to visit with Race again :) 5 stars
Kicked me put for putting my hands up as I express myself while talking, and was super nice to everyone, they said I made them uncomfortable, but didn't tell that in person no warning, nothing said was driving customers away at the time and there was no customers. Now I'm I guess banned. That's messed up.. I had 7 drinks but all I was doing is trying to make the bartender a friend. Anyways thank hahah

Jinx is such a terrible person, shes told me that my "outfit wasnt it" and shes always tried to steal away any guys she liked that i would bring out. She also talked bad about multiple people who went there/ worked there. Shes been known to also take advantage of many guys and call other guys homophobic that didnt return her advances The flame used to be my safe place and she ruined it.

Jinx was an amazing bartender she helped us out made us laugh. She greeted us with smiles and funny jokes and good drinks 10/10 keep her around loved her can’t wait to be back
