Jade Fountain is a Duluth gem. Awesome cocktails, super cool feel, and wonderful service.
We arrived shortly after they opened and just one other couple was in the bar. The owner was the sole employee at the time and went out of his way to serve us. We chatted about the cocktail lounge and life.
All of the drinks were delicious and unique. Throughout our weekend we found ourselves back at Jade Fountain three times and worked our way through everything on the menu, revisiting some of our favorites along the way. They do a great job of combining interesting flavors and spins on well-known, without going over the top. Expertly made, with enough variety to always find something new.
The decor is truly amazing. As one might guess from the name, this cocktail lounge is in a former Chinese restaurant. The feel is certainly there but the walls are also filled with wonderful and weird. There's so much to look at and explore. The space is huge. Three large rooms allow for plenty of spirit sipping spaces. The bar area and lounge, a chill middle section with seating comfortable chairs, and an area with a pingpong table towards the bathrooms. There'll be no shortage of conversation as your eyes constantly find new things wandering the walls.
Jade Fountain Cocktail Lounge is an absolutely awesome spot to stop. Wonderful drinks, great people, and cool decor, they'll certainly be a spot we go to every visit to Duluth.
