When myself and my group,(two females and one other male), came to the entrance there was an older male with long greying hair in a ponytail wearing a black t-shirt smoking a cigarette on the side walk just outside the front doors. We went in and after waiting several minutes were seated at a small table with four chairs around... More

My boyfriend and I go there everytime we are in Grand Marais. The food is exceptionally good and in the summertime, sitting on the roof is great. The bartender is funny and the people watching is fantastic. Inside, I usually have The Rachel...I really need to expand my choices of the menu - but I love it so much. Each... More

I love this place. It has a great rustic feel to it. My favorite items on the menu include the Cuban sandwich...De-Li-Cious! Their brie appetizer is also amazing. Of course, they have a bar and usually have live music. Great place to hang out.

In the last year, I have visited the Gunflint Tavern two times on separate vacations to the Grand Marais area. Both times were excellent, for very different reasons. My first evening at the Gunflint was a purely beverage related experience. Myself and my wife stopped by after dinner at Chez Jude, up the street. We sat down at a table... More

As a beer buff and amature brewer I found this bar/resturant to exceed my expectations. Tons of beer on tap with a bartender who can explain each and every one of them. I am a fan of fried food which is NOT on the menu so if you are looking for a basket of fries or the like this place... More

Gunflint Tavern sits directly across main street from Lake Superior. On a snowy evening in mid-March I walked in the door and live music was playing, patrons were enjoying eclectic food, and I sat myself down at the bar as a solo traveler. The bartender helped me select a beer from the extensive menu and I settled in. The music,... More

I had never been here an my girlfriend insisted we go. It was worth it. Great beer selection. The bartender was very entertaining. The French onion soup was very good. I ended the night with an Iron Butterfly ( Kahlua, baileys, vodka). At the bartenders suggestion.
