50 Best Bars near Proctor

“Joki the bartender gives beard rubs when asked“

“It's a good bar to hang out at. The bar tenders are pretty prompt to get you a drink. Thurs is free chicken wings from 3-6 and Fri is free pizza with the purchase of a beverage. They have bands Thurs through Saturday with a mix of rock and country. There is also lots of TVs for those sports fans as well as a football board.“

“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.“

“Blackwoods catered my son’s wedding yesterday. Overall we would recommend them, but there were a few glitches. The tablecloths we picked up from them the day before the wedding were the wrong size and, despite being sealed in plastic, there were quite a few set in stains. I phoned and left a message about the issue, and no one bothered to return my call. Not a promising start. On the day of the wedding, the staff arrived on time, and everything was set up and ready to go as planned. For the most part the food was good, but the ham was awful. It was tough and the pieces were cut into huge chunks, many of which were full of fat and gristle. We had people who normally love ham refusing to eat it. Since it was one of the main dishes, the ham was a huge disappointment, especially for the money paid. The turkey, however, was moist and tasty. The staff members were helpful and professional. They willingly boxed up leftovers for the wedding couple, which was much appreciated, and they left the church kitchen clean.“

“One of the best local hangouts in Duluth!! Awesome atmosphere, super friendly staff, great live music, and excellent food!“

“Always had great customer service here and wide variety of options!“

“Amazing food, excellent service! Highly recommend. We had 4 adults and 5 kids was quick service considering they were very busy!“

“Fitger's is a very popular place that I learned about from my son-in-law who fishes in the area. I can only confirm what thousands of people already know. If you missed Fitger's, you missed Duluth. It has a couple of hundred years of family owned tradition and holds to a high standard in preparing food and brewing beer. Fitger's is adjacent to the boardwalk along Lake Superior and a short distance from the Duluth trading company.“

“Old school bar with great vibe, good humans. Enter either on Superior St or the lower entrance on Michigan St. Smoking section on lower side is good fun. Mix of humans. Local bus station across the street (Michigan side). R e l a x and breathe the good duluth air.“

“I camped here and check in and hook up went smooth. The porta potties were very clean.
We were in the lower area and I wish there was another shower/bath house. The one by the restaurant is pretty unaccessible to most of the campground. When I did use it it was clean and well maintained though.“

“What can I say except that it is one of the best places to go for exceptional drinks and service when it comes to food....... I am not one to go out to bars very often but I frequent this place because of the Dynamics... The bartenders are phenomenal and dish back a sarcastic lashing if and when needed !!! Todd is always courteous and more realistic than and more real than realistic at radio shack !!! You can tell that he cares about his customers..... Mike , Stephanie & Savannah can't be beat !“

“We came in on a recommendation from a friend. Bethany was fantastic! So friendly and personable. She went above and beyond in suggesting great places in Duluth. Absolutely a gem! The atmosphere was phenomenal and the drinks were beyond delicious!“

“One of my fav spots to stop for a wide variety of drinks! They have board games to choose from which is super fun to do with friends while you chill out. Also darts is a classic! Super cool atmosphere too. Staff is always friendly!!!“

“A great bar, bartender is the best. Nice home town bar, like bars used to be. Glad I finally made it here“

“Great place and a ton of fun“

“the hosepitaty and the great smiles with a great looking Manager Jake Baker“

“Typical Minnesota bar, pool tables, locals, and a real experience. Looks a lot nicer inside than the exterior gives off. The absolute nicest dive bar bathrooms I’ve ever been in. Drinks were reasonably priced around $5 a drink. This is a place where you could easily become a regular.“

“Historic brewery in Duluth. It is buried inside the old brewery which now hosts several businesses. The tap room is in the old barrel room which is a great environment for having a beer or two. If you have a big group they have some overflow space.

On my stop they had 8 of their beers on tap including: an apricot wheat, starfish pale ale, an American lager, oatmeal stout, hazy IPA, sour dragonfruit, another lager and a dunkle that is really quite good. Everything is pretty good but nothing really blew my mind. They do serve food in the barrel room which is great. Service is good and they have a full bar for those less inclined to breweries. Stop and have a good time.“

“brittanie is the best bartender! she does amazing! great drinks and amazing company“

“UPDATE: I'm sitting here watching Steph, the owner bringing a more comfortable chair to an older gentlemen with a bad leg. No one asked her too she's just always aware and always trying to make things nice for the patrons. She rocks and so does the Caddy Shack in Duluth.

Also, it's such a fun place. They have live music, DJ Trivia, Bingo, etc. The staff have always been really friendly and the whole place just has a real positive vibe. They also have private off-street parking. The other night I tried a chocolate flavored stout beer, surprisingly it was really cool. I hope that you check this place out.“

“learned a lot living above Jimmies tavern... anyone remember me??.., Late 70s.... we all had a great time living next and around Superior!!... Nancy Johnson!.. remember???.... Punky Jensen!!... remember?...“

“The bartender, Amanda was fantastic! super friendly! recommend 100%“

“Amazing service, tall blond bartender (Miranda?) made a specialty shot Stephanie Period, y'all gotta try it. She was the best bartendar I've had in a hot minute. Plus the vibes and dance floor were on point. Thanks for such a fun time, will be back when I'm up there again.“

“Stopped by after work on a whim. I normally frequent a different local spot but decided on a change. Service was above and beyond. Lisa was super friendly and accommodating. I got the spinach artichoke dip and it was super good, full of flavor and cheese. Definitely plan to go back!

Parking: BIG lot just across the street dedicated just for their customers.“

“Shelly and Chelsea, have always been super respectful and also super helpful. They remember guests which is amazing and immediately makes you feel you feel like more then a guest. They are awesome. They're nurturing when you need them to be, they're sarcastic when you need them to be, they're your best friends but also super fair. I come here when I have my friends in town from the cities, because it's a superior attraction. They're awesome. and people love them too.“

“This place is like no other in all of the land known as Superior. When I'm here not only do I feel welcomed, I feel like I'm family. The staff here is so friendly and the regulars just want to have a fun and care-free day. I highly recommend this place.“

“While our food was good, we were a party of 8 and apparently they are unable to seat a party of 8 all at one table, though no one told us that when we checked in. Would've been nice to know.“

“That is really the great bar!
If you love cocktails, this is where you should be!
Classics are perfect, but if you want some experiments, ask bartender for that, just explain him direction.
All team who work here is really nice!
Wish to.come back once.“

“#1 spot I’d recommend in Superior. Great craft beers, live music, outdoor seating, TV’s, and best bartenders around! Try the Coffee beer and thank me later!“

“I just like this place for the quick service and overall atmosphere. not the flashiest place, not the fanciest place, but at least, even when it's busy, you know they know you exist and that your turn is coming. Goes a long way. I also like that the bartenders and regular customers seem to get along more like a family then just some body serving another person a drink kind of thing.“

“everything. they rock the stage and own it“

“Great service lots of fun“

“This is an easy going chill bar. It has cleaned up a bit since my last visit. Still a dive but, I like dives. The patrons seem to be a tich older than the crowd at Ds. No kitchen there so dont come hungy. There is a McDonalds around the block though.“

“We stopped in for breakfast after church on Sunday, as we have done from time to time. The breakfast was great, as usual, but the highlight of our visit was our server, Lexi. Lexi was very prompt, cheerful, friendly and accommodating. I sincerely hope that Grand View Grill knows what a treasure they have in Lexi!!“

“My favorite watering hole!!! I’ve been here different days of the week and have NEVER had a bad experience. Always going to be my first choice!“

“Nice place, stopped by and check it out there, probably will be going there more often“

“Change your sign if you’re not open for breakfast. Drove out cause your sign says breakfast 8-noon.“

“A shout out to Chris that remembered I liked Buffalo Trace and let me some had arrived. I asked so many times and they would always be out...I started to give up. Wow, so awesome when I least expected such a an act of kindness - Thank you“

“I might have to swing by Friday night and check it out.“

I 100 percent recommend going there tell Sandy Tony Lucente Debbie's son sent you!!!“

“Thank you Shamrock pizza for the amazing experience once again. Stacey, our waitress handled our party of 28 with no problem. Always assured we has a fresh beverage and checking on us. great pizza as usual.“

“The best Chicken Caesar Salad I’ve ever had! Period. End of story. (except please keep reading) I’m so happy I got to talk to the mastermind behind this dish (Brandon knows what he is doing!!!), because I wouldn’t normally order this salad. I usually find Caesar salads to be bland and boring. Not this one! Smoked bacon (made in house), croutons (made in house), plus a Caesar dressing that compliments instead of overpowering the salad - yes, again made in house. Then Brandon explained how he makes the chips in house (I won’t try to explain it, because I won’t do it justice), but just know that it is like a chip and a waffle fry had a baby, and these chips are the wonderful, delicious outcome ~ light, but flavorful! A must order!!! The cherry on top was the great service. Cathy was a fabulous bartender and server! She was welcoming from the moment I sat down, and was attentive, without being overbearing. She also made great cocktails! Overall, The Shack was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to coming back on a weekly bases while in town for work. They apparently had a rough go during Covid, but Brandon (& others) have been working tirelessly to improve things, and I’m definitely impressed! I recommend you give them a try as well!“

“Always an excellent time. Love the fish fry!“

“Beef Power Bowl and Turkey Dinner: Absolutely delicious! Great food, great service, great staff! ?“

“Lots of options besides pizza, we got that and pasta. They were very good however both were just a tad over cooked. The ambience was alright, lots of teenagers working but they were nice enough. They were good, we just weren't wowed is all.“

“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.“

“Always a great place to grab a bite to eat!!“

“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 “

“Fun little county bar with friendly staff.“
