Dubh Linn was awesome, we went on Thursday night for the amateur comedy night and the atmosphere was great. Free pool & darts were great options. Our fries were very good, crispy and flavorful.
Bartender was super nice and friendly, everyone in the staff team just loved to be there and was happy to help some new faces.
If I was local I’d be coming here often.

To be fair, there was only one bartender, and he was servicing the whole place to the best of my knowledge. The food was phenomenal, and the service was extremely exceptional for one person! Would highly recommend. They have free pool and shuffleboard, other board games , and cozy places to sit.

Nice Irish pub in downtown Duluth. Great place for group celebration. Great beer selections and full bar service. Very accommodating staff who catered to our varied needs, with young family members and an older segment as well as good food selections. Nicely appointed with colorful flags and a clean interior that was very inviting.

Limited staff with unlimited smiles what a treasure to have found on a girl’s trip. They offer a small eating menu but a mastered menu for certain. A wide selection of drinks to choose from and served with compassion! The Reuben was scrumptious and flavorful with a precise balance of fresh, moist meat and lightly crispy toasted rye bread. The garlic mashed potatoes did not warrant any touches of flavor. The cheesy spinach artichoke burger was bursting with robust flavors igniting a savoring euphoria

My wife and I have been homeless in Duluth for the past 6 months. This bar and one of it’s employees became the first time I have experienced discrimination in Duluth due to our status as homeless. The bartender working last night opened the front door as we stood on a public sidewalk next to the bar. We were not there long, and we weren’t disruptive or causing and issues at all nor were we blocking access to customers in any way. The bartender looked at my wife, a friend who is also homeless in a wheel chair, and my wife then proceeded to tell us we could not be standing by his business because we were turning away customers. I couldn’t believe he discriminated because he knew we are homeless. Duluth has an enormous problem on their hands with the overwhelming population of homeless. Many of us have done nothing to deserve homelessness, we’re also not drug addicts who choose to spend their money on drugs rather than necessities. Personally, I grew up in a wealthier family and have vacationed here since I was born. I have an education and owned my own business that was very successful. I went from the top of society to the bottom in a short period of time which was not my fault unfortunately.
If you have any morals. If you have a heart, and if you believe stereotyping, and discrimination regardless of the situation is wrong do not patronize this business. If I could I would shut them down specifically for this very incident whether I was discriminated or had been a witness.
I hope the owner of Dubh Linn reads this. I may be homeless, but I am not idiot. I also have an education, and I previously owned a business myself. If the owner is reading this before you receive anything from my attorney first, I have every intention to make it publicly known on social media and news publications of this discrimination. I also will be following through with my attorney filing a discrimination lawsuit so I receive monetary compensation for the discrimination by your bar. I am not going to be keeping everything I am awarded in court. It will help other individuals who have become like family. Those of us who are homeless for the most part stick together, we help each other, and none of us deserve to be told to leave a public sidewalk because we look and are homeless.
I hope your bar is boycotted hopefully forcing you to shut down or the city shuts you down for the act committed by an employee of yours. If the owner wishes to settle this atrocity before I hand it to my attorney please comment on this with a way to contact you. If not, as I said above, I have no issue following through with a discrimination lawsuit.

This place has been here forever the service is actually pretty good unfortunately the drink selection is a less than desirable. To be an Irish pub but not have a solid Irish whiskey selection is very disappointing.
It’s a great place if you’re a college kid that just wants to get drunk but the food isn’t great and great the atmosphere hasn’t changed.

Extremely disappointing experience.
I went to this bar and felt clearly unwelcome as a person of color. The bartender with dark hair parted to the side treated me and my friends very rudely compared to other guests. It genuinely felt discriminatory — we were questioned and ignored while others were served right away. No one should be made to feel uncomfortable or singled out because of their background. I hope the owners take this seriously and train their staff to treat everyone with the same respect.

This is one of the best Irish bars I have been to in the states (and I have hit a few here and in Ireland). Live music on Friday night, darts, pool, etc.
Dave at the bar does it right – took care of us at the bar all night. Manager Maureen was awesome and super knowledgeable. The menu was solid. We had fantastic corned beef with almost no fat. Definitely make this a stop if you are in the area!

This place had some pretty good food. You grab a menu and order at bar. I had lamb Sheperds pie & a side of cabbage & veggies…delish! My friend had shrimp & fries and said they were good too. Of course the Guinness was great. Atmosphere was older but comfortable. There was a nook area with a fireplace & comfy looking chairs. A charming old red phone booth. The booths for seating were super high, so if your height challenged it may be hard to get into, but there are other seating options. I’d like to stop back at another time & maybe play pool and try more things on the menu.

I was delightfully surprised at this pub! They had a massive selection of whisky’s and scotch. Organic brews as well as nano brewery options. We had a flight of the house beers and amazing beer cheese fries (highly recommend!!!!) The server was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was fun and energetic. The bar looked absolutely beautiful with all the back lot bottles. We cannot wait to go back!
