21 Best Bar & Grill near Proctor

“Local Duluthian. This used to be a family favorite spot, it felt like a "Special" place to go. We rarely come here in recent years. The last few times its clear how run down this spot is becoming - you have such a great location, beautiful view of lake superior, tourist hot spot ... but its sad how run down its becoming, carpets, worn down booths. . . . Leaving this review to try encourage owners to put a little pride back into this restaurant and do Duluth Proud.“

“Went to eat on fish fry night with family and had to stand until seats opened up. Fish was nice and not too hard, rather flaky. Most tables are high top. They do have handicap ramp but not a great seat up inside for it. They often have live music. My suggestion to the owners though is make the parking lot more than earth either gravel or pavement, also add more light at night. I'm glad my rents didn't slip on the icy mud and unseen ruts.Parking: Ruddy earth parking but big. Muddy when wet.Wheelchair accessibility: Have a ramp but most of the tables are high top.“

“My husband and I held our wedding reception here. We received the best service! We chose the establishment because they offered the food, DJ and transportation all in one. I can say from the Al Capone party bus, to the food by Howard Que, the DJ Brent and the club staff/bartenders we had one memorable day/night. Everything was amazing and couldn't have been more perfect. We appreciate the entire club for being so good to us and making it a day to remember forever. With love, The McGillivray's ❤️“

“I usually don't give this high of a review but they earned it for sure.Great staff, pool table and dartboard, few slot machines (both older and newer), Great food, older but well kept architecture. Very clean establishment, I love this place and definitely will be back again.Parking: Parking spots in front of building but I'm unsure if there is parking behind the tavern.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely accessible for people with disabilities.“

“My husband and I met at Shortys in 2020 and were devastated when they closed shortly after. We use to say we’d never get to go back to the place we met. But when Bucktails moved into the building we couldn’t be happier. My husband is a huge fan of American food, and I could eat Mexican food everyday, all day. Having both on their menu, we found our new favorite spot. When we got married, we knew we wanted to celebrate where we met, and Bucktails was more than happy to make that possible. We had a party of roughly 50 people who were ALL impressed by the food and service. Staff was amazing to work with and were so great the entire night. When food ran out, they were quick to throw more in the oven for us and bring it out. They had had pool, darts, and karaoke. Everyone had such an amazing time. I can’t recommend this place enough!! Thank you Dee and everyone at Bucktails. We will never forget our incredible wedding celebration with you!!“

“I loved everything about our visit here!We were in town for a Friday night football game, and we're looking for a drink and a bit to eat beforehand.When we walked in, we were greeted with the sights and smells of an old school Wisconsin tavern. Friendly folks welcomed us as well.The bartender's attentiveness was on point, the drinks were cold and the burgers were fantastic. It's hard to beat a good, old-fashioned bar burger!I really liked the old NFL helmet display as well.Plenty of character, good food, good service, and the right amount of "dive bar" had us glad that we stopped in!“

“The enviroment at this establishment is fairly welcoming! After meeting with the owners--whom are very respectable-- I would highly recommend coming here to meet with this family owned eatery. The food here is phenomenal especially their chicken and waffles If I had had to rate this food I would give this a 9/10 the flavor combination is delicious and is unique! After tasting the burger and cheese curds I almost went to cloud 9! I would rate the cheese curds a 8.6/10 and the burger a 6/10. If I would rate this place I would have to say 10/10 highly recommend and I would come again!Kid-friendliness: The kiddos are welcomed!“

“This was my first time thereunder it was great. My son goes with his friends all the time and will bring me back stuff to eat and that is very good. There not cheep,it is a bar and pub . Like I side this was my first time there and it's family friendly. Go check it out thay even have food specials and drink special for every day of the week.“

“Private party, so bar was closed off to public. Bartenders worked their tail off & still friendly and fast. We were 3rd & 4th person in line for food, which oddly was cold. Mashed potatoes were good but no gravy, butter, or anything (strange) to put on them. They did off barbecue sauce “

“What a surprising gem! Came in on a Saturday morning looking for Premier League Futbol. Walked in to find our favorite team on the TV, affordable drinks, friendly service, and the only post-COVID popcorn popper I've seen! Lovely experience and we can't wait to return next time we are in Duluth!“

“Decent all the way around! Parking lot was a nice change from the flat smooth lots i tend to agree with! Its at a fun steep angle , nothing bad , tho fun! Nice old building with old building charm, i had the turkey ,, if ya no what i mean! I cant be beat throwing the ol rock! Very nice overall would go again .“

“Had an amazing bacon cheeseburger here the other day before my flight! The staff was SO friendly & service was quick. If you’re at the Duluth airport it’s a must to stop by this restaurant for a meal or a good drink made by the talented bartenders. Will be coming back when I have my next flight out of there!“

“Visited at 6pm on Friday night and it was the first time we had ever been there. Food was good. We aren't into the bar scene so we were hoping there would be booths or tables, and there were tables. But everyone there was belly up to the bar, so we felt a little out of place as the only people at a table, but that's no fault of the establishment. Atmosphere was nice, and it's a good looking place. But if you're bringing the whole family there, you might be the only ones sitting at a table. Maybe other reviewers can set the record straight on that. Food was good as was the price.“

“Delicious burgers and fries.Have eaten there multiple times, and each burger is worth the price. Whatever you're feeling, it'll taste good.Still need to try the mexican cuisine section of the menu, but it also looks great when my buddies order it.“

“Good old friendly bar & grill.Not new, doesn't want to be, don't change it. Good menu, breakfast and lunch/dinner. Good specials. Good coffee, beer and drinks. Good prices and great service. We like going there just wish there was more parking out front and wish the front step up entrance was a bit safer and easier. Wish front entrance was double door. Cold winds off the lake make booths wishing for better. Needs a bigger better handrail. Good for many, but I'm handicapped. Challenging with a walker or rollator. Wheelchair/not. If they have a better entrance I don't see it. But as is I'm able enough, we will return, and again.Parking: Metered spots are free to cars with handicap tags but there's not many spots. A couple times I went elsewhere because all available spots in front were full. Walking any distance is bad for me.Wheelchair accessibility: If there's a better way than the front door I don't see it. If none I wish there was. If there is, make a better sign in front to say where it's at.“

“Visited ~10-15 times in the past year. Great place for drinks and watching games. Especially fun during the summer when volleyball is happening and you can be outside. Solid drink specials most days. Food is average at best, but overall still gets 5 stars in my eyes.“

“Stopped by on Sat. I had a chicken wrap and husband had French dip. Both of ours were delicious. I had mine with onion rings. They were great! Waitress was wonderful! Very helpful and checked on us often to see how we were doing!Wheelchair accessibility: Both entrances are on level ground“

“We were there on Saturday 12/16. We had a young gentleman waiting on us (should’ve gotten his name) but we were sitting in a booth near the door (I just want him recognized). It was a Viking’s game day and he was running around and obviously busy.we came in shortly after half time. He maintained a positive and professional attitude! He even chatted with us a bit about the game, and overall the service was phenomenal. He was working so hard! In a time where customer service often lacks due to being short staffed, this young man did amazing!The sweet chili wings were so good I ordered a second to go!“

“I love hole in the wall places like this!There's some water damage to the ceiling and the outside looks a little sketch but I think that's part of the atmosphere for me.Our waitress was phenomenal. The food came up quickly and was the best damn bar food I've had in years. Beer was cold and went well with the popcorn.Hope to visit again next year!“

“This has got to be one of the most underrated, unknowns in all of Superior! Izzy's has great BBQ and I feel one of the best in the area! I've been here a number of times and each time it's delicious! His ribs, pork and chicken are an absolute delight! Rib meat falls right off the bone! Chicken is so smoky, juicy and tender! This place is the hidden gem of Superior for finger lickin great BBQ. Famous Dave's don't hold a candle to Izzys. If you haven't tried it yet, go get you some! What makes Izzy's different from the national chains is his homemade recipes. From ribs, to chicken, to pork, baked beans, coleslaw and everything in between. The owner has decades of BBQ experience and it's all right here for you to try! Go get you some good old fashioned BBQ from Izzy's! I highly recommend it!“

“Went to the new Grand View the other night for dinner. There were six of us eating, we ordered six different dinners, from BLT, hamburger, walleye, hot turkey, meatloaf, dinners. All of them were excellent, with generous portions, I highly recommend. Very good experience, and our waitress was awesome also!“
