That said, it could be entirely possible that the crew we encountered at the outdoor hot tub the night prior could have been responsible for wiping out most of their inventory; those guys were out to party hard. There is a good selection of beers in the fridge, especially from local breweries down round Duluth. The place smelled like the dude was just finishing a cigarette, which repelled me. But he gave me a portable corkscrew so it was all good.

Out here on the North Shore, the center of town life is often the municipal bar + liquor store…read more This is a canonical example of that Minnesota tradition. One very overworked female bartender, frozen bar pizza plus apps from the deep fryer (frozen pickles nom), cold beer on draft, and a pull tabs machine in the corner. This particular one gets props in a couple respects. First, great drafts -- I haven't seen Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter in a long long time. Second, they actually have their own house whiskey -- a California bourbon barrel selection from Savage & Cooke. And it's quite good! Third, the locals are pretty welcoming of a city slicker. I did get quizzed fairly extensively about my religious and political beliefs by one very close talking local, but at no point was she inappropriate or jerky, and when I said "hey, I need to pay attention to my kid", she chilled out and let me drink and play cards with my daughter. I can't say as I'm going to be up this way a lot (pretty much did what we wanted to do at the state parks), but if I were, I'd hit this lounge again, it's the best and most reliable food and drink option in a 5 mile radius. (Their competitors in Beaver Bay are also pretty great, so it's a hard call to make.)

Lots of choices! We thought it was even better than some of the liquor stores in Minneapolis.read more

Lots of wood paneling, pictures of fish, pull tabs behind the bar BUT, this specific classic Minnesota bar has a focus on local beer, so you can actually get a damn good IPA on tap, and you won't find Bud or Coors on draft. Given that our state makes fine drinking liquids, the North shore needs more places like this. Also, they are pretty welcoming to kiddos, which is important when the kids are hungry and literally the only option after 7pm is to seek out bar pizza. It's Giovanni, not Heggie, still solid.

WOW! My cousins…read morehave always raved about this liquor store near their north woods cabin and now that I have shopped it myself, I can see why. I was totally blown away by the large variety of wines, bourbon, craft beers and mixers. Oh, I can't forget the cigars. It may be a small town booze store, but the variety and selection, definitely are big city. Eric the owner, not only knows bourbon, he can also advise you on the perfect wine for your upcoming dinner party. Best of all, his staff also gives exceptional customer service. One of the coolest things I've seen in a while and it was very creative. Instead of traditional shopping carts, Ely Liquor had little red wagons to pull through the store as you shopped for your adult beverages.

For a small shop, we find that it had a good selection of the basic items that you'd find in a liquor store -- beers (including local brews), wine, liquors, sodas and other mixers. We ended up buying a Leroux Blackberry Brandy (750 ml, $11.99) and a Captain Morgan Rum (750 ml, $18.99). Staff was efficient and friendly. There's a small but sufficiently-sized parking lot off 7th Avenue.
