Cedar Lounge Earth Rider Brewery taproom

Definitely an interesting brewery taproom venue. Feels like an old Wisconsin Tavern. They have a great beer selection. I think the only food they served was frozen pizza so I passed on that. The bartender was super friendly. I was there on a Tuesday afternoon in June so it wasn’t very busy. We had some time to talk about the beers and he gave me some recommendations. Of course did a flight. I’m a big craft beer adventurer, and brewery, tourist. But I did like the recommendations. They do sell merchandise and have stickers. Huge outdoor seating area. Ample free parking. Really close to the anchor bar if you wanna awesome hamburger.

Earth Rider has a large variety of beers including many styles from barrel aged to Italian Pilsner. They have a few core beers and then many seasonal brews which make up the majority of the menu. The brewery is definitely not afraid to experiment. The staff was friendly and there was live music when we went on a Friday. Their amber beer was my personal favorite.

I've lived in Superior for almost 30 years, but now only 2 months each year in the summer. I live in Florida the rest of the year. No brewery (that I've found so far) in FL compares to Earth Rider. Nobody has a lineup as good as Duluth Coffee Pale Ale, Cloud Top hazy, Valhalla Scotch Ale, and North Tower Stout. Great staff. Fun (and free) bingo nights. Even the frozen pizzas are way above average for that food type. Look at the photos to see what my front license plate looks like (no real plate needed in Florida, unlike Wisconsin). My favorite beer (Duluth Coffee Pale Ale) my favorite brewery, and my favorite taproom. Anywhere!

My band played here on November 8th, 2025. The staff were so awesome to work with. It’s a super cool place inside and the drinks are amazing. Also, it had one of the best sound techs I’ve worked with in a local scene.

Beers were great, awesome atmosphere almost half speak-easy and half dive bar. Best brewery I’ve been at in a while. Check it out!

Some really good beer in Superior. I reall liked the Valhalla scotch ale. Unfortunately, it is a seasonal. I would buy it year round.

Great beer and great service. The samples were pretty big pours so that you can get a good taste before committing to a beer type. Earth Rider has great beers with some really good flavor profiles.

Earth Rider Brewing was a really cool place. The staff was very friendly and the beer was very good. Try the Valhalla Scotch Ale and the Duluth Coffee Pale Ale, you will be glad to did!!!

I had a great experience here. It was mid week in early June, not very busy. The bartender had time to sit and chat with me. They have a huge outdoor seating area. The only food I think is frozen pizzas. Huge variety of beer on top. All the beer was good. I'll be back.

Great selection of beer to choose from. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful. The outside patio was lovely and the interior offers live music consistently. Worth the stop if you're in Superior.

Wandered in on a Sunday afternoon. There were only a few people in the place but the bartenders were welcoming and friendly. There was a big menu with all types of beers and great descriptions. I ordered the raspberry wheat first and then the blueberry cream ale. Both were outstanding. Loved all the old pictures and decor. We didn't go outside but seemed like there was a nice outdoor area with a stage as well as a stage indoors. Only thing I would suggest is a nonalcoholic beer option. There was hop water but that's not quite the same. Son avoids alcohol but likes the taste of beer.

Cross the Bong Bridge from Duluth over to Superior, Wisconsin, and the brewery scene is completely different. First thing to note is the brewery (Earthrider) is a block away from this tasting room or "lounge." When you walk in, you run into a long bar with an event stage at its 10 O'clock and booths flanking on either side. Order at the bar and seat yourself. During the summer months, you can use the outdoor patio in the back for additional seating. Comes with a portapotty if you want to avoid the restroom inside. Good beer options for every taste bud and the "inferno" pizza surprised me. Wish I had a bottomless stomach to eat the whole thing. The staff are friendly and the crowd is chill. They even have half pour options. Love this establishment.

We really enjoyed trying Earth Rider beers at the Cedar Lounge. Our visit here was pretty early in the day so it was pretty quiet. We'll definitely be returning soon.

Taproom for the Earth Rider Brewery (which is the next building over). When we were there, only the front area was open for crawlers, growlers and cans.

Outstanding beers with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I had a flight, a pint and got a crowler to go. The old beer signs and historic location made for a great experience.

Fabulous bar, old school style with those great 3D back lit light up advertisements for Strohs, High Life Schmidt's, but new school clean stools, bar and a great selection of local brewer Earth Rider. Stopped in on a Monday and there was a decent crowd. Good music playing at a not too loud volume. Friendly young lady tending bar. Good times.

The tap room for Earth Rider Brewery. Chill circular bar with TVs. (Nothing but the beer here.)

Great atmosphere and better beer! I recommend if you're a stout fan try the North Tower Stout.

New discovery. Yummy beer! Thank you Cedar Lounge for your prize at the limbo contest held at the Liberace and Minnelli concert. Friendly nice place

What can I say, I am wrong again. There are three good reasons to head over the bridge to Superior, WI. The Cedar Lounge featuring Earth Rider Brews is as authentic a taproom as you can find. Fantastic ales and friendly beertenders will draw you in for a second or third pour when you had only intended to stop in for a quick wet of the whistle.

SKIP. Stick to visiting breweries on the MN side of Lake Superior i.e. Duluth. Customer service is belittling. I drove with my father and 20 year old sister 3.5 hours from the Twin Cities to Earth Rider for a concert. Upon arrival we learned that the concert was only 21+ admission. That's fine. It was our fault that we did not confirm the advertisement for the concert being 21+ on both the website and Facebook page. Disappointed, my father and I grabbed a beer at Cedar Lounge with my sister accompanying us. After grabbing drinks and dinner at Anchor Bar and Grill we returned to Earth Rider to catch the show from beyond the fenced enclosure. We grabbed a beer and stood outside, respecting security's request to not venture onto the sidewalk. However, 30 minutes later security returned with condescending verbal force, belittling us to return inside Cedar Lounge. Upset, but without conflict, we left and went to the backyard enclosure of Cedar Lounge. Five minutes later, we are once again approached in a condescending manner, belittled, and ultimately kicked out of Cedar Lounge. The issue being my 20 year old sister having a beverage and being on premise after 8pm despite her guardian being present. Per Wisconsin law: "According to Wisconsin law, anyone under the age of 21 cannot be sold or served alcohol, unless they are accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or spouse over the legal drinking age (Sec. 125.07(1), Wis. Stats.). So, for example, if an 18-year-old is celebrating his or her birthday with their parents and friends at your bar or restaurant, you can legally serve them alcohol. Otherwise, they will need proper identification proving they are of age to purchase alcoholic beverages." Source: https://www.sellerserver.com/Wisconsin/underage-drinking-laws.html However, I also understand that: "Persons under age 21 may possess and consume alcohol beverages if they are with their parents, guardians or spouses of legal drinking age; but this is at the discretion of the licensee. The licensed premises may choose to prohibit consumption and possession of alcohol beverages by underage persons." Source: https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/ise-atundrg.aspx#undrg2 The issue in this matter is the handling of the situation. Don't belittle nor treat patrons with such disrespect when there isn't clear indication of company policy towards minors. A couple suggestions: Have a visible sign communicating policy! Have a bouncer to keep minors out of the bar after a certain hour! Make it clear that your policy does not reflect the WI alcohol and bar law practiced by other establishments around you! And, despite the overtly apparent fear of employees being reprehended, train them to act with kindness and patience in handling a situation when one arises! Beer was good but I don't like my people and me being treated like shit in multiple instances during a night so I won't be back.

Kind of dive bar-ish but all brand new decor. Beer was amazing. Try the Raspberry Sour beer.

Newly updated, great music and great beer offerings! Had a great time listening to music on a Wednesday night and really enjoyed the friendly vibes in the place

Friendly Bartenders, huge bar-plenty of space to sit. Great selection of microbrews. There is something for everyone. Only 4 stars based on limited options for food. Basically snacks, pizza, pretzels or ice cream. We would've stayed longer to enjoy the brew, but left to go find supper. Will return for the Tap Shack Caribbean Lager. Yum!

One of our favorite places to go. Earth Rider beer is amazing and the bartenders are very personable. Love it!

This bar is a dump...like being in a cave.no light no windows, and girl bartending when we were there was rude and nasty..best bet is to go across street to 50's.

While visiting Duluth, this was the only place in the area who had live music on a Wednesday night. Cute, cozy bar with friendly staff. Only downside was when they announced the early closing time!!! Will definitely visit here again on our next trip up north!!
