Loved the vibe. A local jazz band The Hot Club of Duluth was playing along with a live painter Kat Ford when I visited. Some customers were dressed up which added to the vibe but that’s not required. All of them were coming together to create this classy yet not so formal, vibrant yet chill atmosphere which I enjoyed so much.

Amazing atmosphere. We were the only ones to enjoy this cool hidden gem. Bartender was just fabulous and many cozy nooks to enjoy your company. Live music a few nights a week.

The Rathskeller is a hidden gem in downtown Duluth. It’s an underground cocktail lounge with definite speakeasy vibes. We had great service despite the lounge being packed. We will definitely visit again when back in the area.

Love the dark and moody vibe of this basement cocktail bar. Great drinks and service. Reasonable prices too. Definitely check it out.

It’s clean. The atmosphere is pastiche but it’s fine I guess. Everything they have is ludicrously expensive. Not just overpriced, but expensive. The crowd is solely young professionals in blazers and I got several insulting looks from the folks in business attire because I was wearing nice casual streetwear.

Fun, vibey spot with really good cocktails. The history behind the building is interesting too!

Great little bar that is tucked away. The atmosphere is cozy and there are a lot of craft cocktails that looks delicious! Our bartender was super friendly and able to handle our larger group!

My friends and I came here both nights we were in town. My biggest complaint would be the flickering lights did not give us the moody vibes others mention but was rather closer to just sensory overload because they are fake lights and all flicker WAY too much. Would highly suggest changing that somehow. Second while service was great, I would say drinks were slightly overpriced for quality. For example the first time I ordered an old fashioned it had WAY too much simple syrup or sugar in it and did not taste right, second time I asked for them to make it less sweet and it was better. Drinks were all on the small/conservative side even for a nice bar. We did not feel underdressed here, we came in wearing street clothes and everyone else was dressed the same. Overall fun speakeasy, could use some small adjustments and either cheaper drinks or better drinks.

Such a cool, cozy speakeasy style bar. Excellent dirty martinis and a superb lemon drop. Very unique place. I can’t wait to go back again.

My daughter took my husband and me to this establishment awhile back, and I didn’t want to forget to write a review. I didn’t realize there was anywhere around here with this type of atmosphere. The employees were very knowledgeable, and the waitress was cute as a button. This place is such a unique environment. I really haven’t seen anything like it.
