Iron Mug Coffee and Ale House in Duluth’s Morgan Park neighborhood will close May 25 according to a post made on the business’ Facebook page today:

As most of you know we have decided to make the hard decision to close our wonderful restaurant. We have enjoyed getting to know the wonderful people in Morgan Park as well as all the people that drove out to check our place out. I’m so glad that I got to witness and be part of all the new friendships that developed here because that really was what this place was all about. Again thank you for all the support these last four years.

The Iron Mug opened July 30, 2014 at 1096 88th Ave. W. It occupies the southern corner of the Lakeview Store building. Known primarily as a coffee shop, it also offers beer, flatbread pizza, deli sandwiches, breakfast burritos, bagels, soup, salad, ice cream and baked goods. Its closing will leave Morgan Park void of any restaurant or drinking establishment.

Felisha and Brandon Johnson operate the Iron Mug. Brandon and his father, Paul Johnson, own the Lakeview Store building.
