Where shall we watch the Vikings lose?

I’m heading in to Duluth today to do some shopping, and I’d like to catch the Vikings game at a local establishment. I live in the sticks and I don’t know enough about Duluth yet to know of a good place to go.

Requirements: game must be on. Reasonably good food – more than just deep-fried bar fare. Places to sit (not super crowded). Not too dive bar-ish.

Help me, PDD. You’re my only hope.

    Try Schulzies in Superior. Bring ear plugs.

    Just kidding about that. Maybe try Black Woods in Proctor or 26th Avenue East in Duluth.

    Keeping your food requisite in mind … I’d recommend Pizza Luce, G.B. Schneider’s, T-Bonz or Grandma’s Sports Garden.

    I don’t make these recommendations based on experience; I always watch the game at home. These are just my first guesses of places I’m pretty certain will have the game on, serve pretty good food, and allow you to sit at a table rather than at the bar while watching.

    You can watch it in our wine bar (tell them I said it was OK) or in the basement on the big home theater if there is no book club down there.)

    PS: Food is better than any of the previous mentioned.

    I’d go to T-Bonz too.

    Nice offer by Carla. Correct about best food.

    I know the game has started already but to get my two cents in, the Pioneer on 1st St. and 3rd Ave. W is my favorite bar to watch the game at. Good atmosphere, great drink prices and even better people that work there. They serve good “homemade” food at halftime too.

    I’d totally take Carla up on her offer. Nice ambiance in wine bar, and the food is fabulous, I love the Red Sea sandwich.

    Thanks for the advice, everyone!

    I had a friend in from out of town, and he wanted to see what Grandma’s was like, so we went there. I’m going to make a point of checking out the other places that people suggested…the Chester Creek Cafe in particular. That place seems right up my alley. 🙂
