When we first walked in, it wasn't super clear that you have to go to the bar to order and grab a number for them to bring your food to the table. The guy taking our order was cheerful and patient despite the busyness. Ambiance is casual; looked like there were a lot of groups and families eating together. I ordered the southwestern salad and my husband had the bacon and chicken salad. We both had good portions and fresh ingredients. They had live music so there were tables closer to the performance, tables a bit further away, and some outside. I liked the variety of seating options. I'd say Sir Benedict's is a good no frills tasty dinner option.

I spent a long weekend eating and drinking my way around Duluth, and my favorite brewery we stopped…read moreat was Blacklist! It has such a fun atmosphere, but also a wide variety of great drinks!! I LOVED the seltzers, particularly the blueberry basil, but the peach hazy IPA and the Razz beer were also amazing! Also, their beers are on the stronger side so take note if you are trying to pace yourself! Now for the fun-- Blacklist also has axe throwing!! It is pretty affordable, too. It cost $100 for my group of 6 to play for an hour. The instructor was also super personable and helpful! He kept it safe but also super fun, and he was able to step in when someone needed help but hang out when we were doing okay on our own. He also ensured no one ever had an empty glass and everyone was having fun!! I would recommend Blacklist to absolutely anyone, and would totally come back when in Duluth!

It's buy one get one tacos with the purchase of two drinks. I got a classic margarita and my mom ordered a fun mocktail- she was so glad she did. I can't remember which one she ordered, but she really enjoyed it. I got the pork tacos and my mom got the chicken and mango tacos. Plenty of food! We were pleased. Our service was good this time (compared to 7 years ago- wow! How has that much time passed since my first review here?!?) I'll keep coming back here.

The drink list had a lot of options so it was easy to find a few options to try. There was even artwork (many were Duluth focused) from what I'm assuming is from local artists that were for sale which I thought was a nice touch!

CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS Sweet and spicy soy glaze with sautéed red peppers and scallions. These were a little too heavy on the sauce for my liking, but otherwise very good. If you're not a fan of sweeter flavors, this one may not be for you. BUFFALO MAC & CHEESE Cavatappi pasta tossed in a creamy mac sauce, topped with crispy buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and onion straws. We added bacon and chicken, and this was a top pick for us! The buffalo sauce had the perfect balance--not overly spicy, but enough flavor to complement the creamy mac and cheese. CPB CO. FISH AND CHIPS Craft beer-battered haddock served with Northcoaster fries and house-made tartar sauce. Another top pick for us! The fish was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly fried. Honestly, one of the best fried fish dishes I've had in Minnesota. Unfortunately, I can't report on the beer as I'm not a big drinker...Sorry! Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, welcoming service, and plenty of variety. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Duluth!

The beer selection was a little smaller than we expected, but there was still a nice variety of styles, so everyone in our group found something they enjoyed. They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails. The food menu was surprisingly large with lots of unique and fun options to try. The only small downside was that the Brussels sprouts were still a little undercooked for our taste, but everything else was excellent and more than made up for it. Excellent brisket, fish n chips, and build your own burger! The garlic aioli and IPA mustard sauces were definitely memorable. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, craft beer, and a fun atmosphere located right on the pier. We'd definitely come back!

It had a nice, spicy aftertaste. They don't have food (aside from pretzels and other bar snacks), but you can order outside food to enjoy with your drinks.

Thus began the latest chapter in the life of Ed Carmody, born in Duluth, world traveler, grandson of some former scions of the early hospitality industry in Duluth. Ed's Irish immigrant grandparents built a mini-empire in Duluth in the late 1800s, starting a restaurant, acquiring hotels, and being a part of People's Brewing Co. a rather long-lived post prohibition beer company that lasted until 1957. Ed's genetic ambitions led him to create Carmody Irish Pub in Duluth, five years ago, add a Northshore branch, Carmody 61, and finally to add micro-brewing capability on site. Carmody's, at 308 East Superior Street in the heart of the "new" old downtown, opens daily at 3PM, has live music six nights a week, with 32 beers and 21 Irish whiskeys on hand in addition to his own micro-brews. Demand for the latter is causing him to double brewing output capacity this year. A believer in supporting local businesses as well as the locavore movement, Ed sources as much product locally as he is able to, and estimates that over 80% of the food products come from establishments within an hour of the Twin Ports. Carmody's food offerings include their takes on traditional bar food, with the addition of some Chicago favorites (one of Ed's major life stopping points), as well as an homage or two to Irish / UK specialties. Chicago style dishes include the "Maxwell Street Chicago Dog," dressed as one would find at hundreds of Chicago eateries, with mustard, cucumber, relish, peppers, tomato, and a dash of celery salt. Another Chicago legend on the menu is the Italian Beef sandwich, thin sliced roast beef slowly marinaded in a flavorful au jus, served on a fresh bakery roll and topped with mild or spicy giardiniera. Beef for the sandwich is sourced from Fraboni's on the range, and cooked at Carmody 61, which enjoys a larger kitchen and prep area than the Duluth outlet. A tribute to the cuisine of the UK and Ireland can be found in the bangers and mash, and his version of the Cornish pasty. If you're not familiar with the pasty, its a crimped, baked meat and vegetable pie, popularized by miners from the British Isles and Eastern Europe, who settled in the mining communities of Northern Michigan and Minnesota. The hand-held pie provided hearty fare for miner lunches. Ed says his version of the pasty has "Slavic" influences, rather than Cornish or Finnish. The pasty has become widely associated with the Finnish culture in Minnesota. Sausages at Carmody's are made from Ed's secret family recipes, built to the pub's specifications at Wrazidlo's Old World Meats in Duluth. Bread and rolls are an exclusive Carmody recipe baked by Duluth's Johnson's Bakery. Additional menu items include starters, sandwiches, wraps, pizza with some vegetarian friendly choices. The menu at the Two Harbors branch has different menu choices, including entrees and burgers. Taste experiences this visit included the pretzel appetizer with house made mustard, Italian Beef sandwich, and bangers with garlic mash. All were excellent. We look forward to grazing our way through the rest of the menu in the near future.
