Many people don't know about the Rathskeller lounge in the basement below Tycoon's. It is in the location of the old jail, the staff can tell show you some historical details if you are interested. If you are looking for a romantic spot to have a drink, conversation, or hide from people, the Rathskeller is perfect. Their food menu is... More

Another “Eat Downtown” visit that turned into a surprise. While we have not been fans of Tycoon’s in the past the Gouda Mac and Cheese could be a game changer. Best Mac and Cheese ever! Crazy good! The service was, as ALL of the rest of their properties….substandard, which I feel seems to be a common thread in Duluth unfortunately.... More

I must like this place because I keep going back. The food is very good, the drinks are good, love the jazz and overall atmosphere. However, front of the house staff members need to be better trained. When we walk in the host just looks at us - no "Hello, welcome" greeting. So I wait and all she says is... More

Love Rathskeller Bar (in the basement of Tycoons). Quiet, live jazz, great beer selection, unique ambiance as being the old jail of Duluth. Very limited choice for appetizers, but if you are just going for a drink it is a great place. Very relaxing.

Low lit, elegant place with great food and beer. The atmosphere here is much quieter than Fitgers, but there's a lot of similarities between these two sibling restaurants. The menu changes often, and each time they seem to improve it! Always, the beer is always excellent. And it's not too fancy for blue jeans. Just maybe not that pair with... More

We have had trouble finding really good food on previous visits to Duluth. A relative suggested Tycoons as they had a good lunch there recently. We were quite pleased with our visit. We ordered 3 different selections at lunch and all 3 were excellent. Quality excelled, good value, and service was attentive. We will go back and highly recommend.

We went to the Rathskeller(basement of Tycoons) bar for some pre-dinner cocktails. It's an amazing space. Our bartender was very friendly. They could use an updated menu, and pretty much every tap listed was something different. They also had no cocktail menu, which was kind of weird. I would go again.

This was our third visit for family dinner and the draw to come back just isn't there for us. Food choices are fine but mostly had burgers and salads that were average. Beer is same as beer at Ftgers Brewhouse and Burrito Union, and are enjoyed by some but all are top hoppy. The atmosphere is pleasant and prices are... More

We came here for our first time for Valentine's day, and it made our night lovely. The food was amazing, we received complimentary champagne, there was a fantastic live band playing, and our server was very friendly. Don't forget to visit the elevator on the way out and see what is hidden on -1!

This new restaurant/bar on Superior St. has some good food, a pub like atmosphere and good locally brewed beers. I think the same people that own Fitger's Brew Pub, own this place, and I personally like the Fitger's location a little better. It's cozier, and with the creepy place down on the corner that sells "bath salts", we did see... More
