Tavern on the Hill


Food & Drink

Tavern On The Hill in Duluth off Woodland Avenue. Oh, I need to gush a little about this place. Really. Great marketing, expansive menu, restaurant design is stunning; suffice it to say that everyone loved everything. I would have just moved in if I’d gone to college at UMD.

Carmody Irish Pub and Brewing


Food & Drink

Next up on the bucketlist is a bar in downtown old Duluth. The , a favorite of the zombie pub crawl crowd. It’s dark, quiet and slow (maybe it was just while I was there?). Plus side: one of the waitresses looks like a Megan Fox carbon copy.

Canal Park (Night)


Buildings & Architecture, Parks & Geology

Ever experienced Duluth at night? I’m not talking about the breweries or late shows. I am referring to the lake walk, the light house, the aerial lift bridge, horse drawn carriages and the food trolley. If not, here is a window to it. I highly recommend grabbing a cup of hot apple cider (an absolute […]

If you love Halloween, haunted houses, ghosts, serial killers, zombies, scary monsters, and if you love being confronted by your primal fears, then I highly recommend the William A Irvin #haunted ship in Duluth just off of Lake Superior.
