Ursa Minor Brewing

Staff was really friendly! Pizza smelled delicious, although, we didn't partake. Games and puzzles available! Many hazy IPA choices, which was our favorite part!!

AMAZING experience on a fall afternoon! We had a flight including: Sauna 10/10, Blackbirds & Blueberries 10/10, Prickly Bear 8/10, Breakfast Ball 10/10! The wood fire margarita pizza was 10/10! Great staff! Highly recommend!

This is a great brewery. Street parking can be a little tricky, I’m not sure if there’s a private parking lot in the back. Ample outdoor seating, a lot of indoor seating, huge beer selection. It’s counter service so you wait in line. There’s no bar seating which I prefer at breweries. The pizza is great. They bring you a pager and you hold it up and get your pizza they sell beer to go, they have merchandise and stickers. I actually left my messenger bag in my beer journal here and was lucky enough to retrieve it the next day. Dog friendly on the patio. Super cool vibe and of course the beer is fantastic, so is the pizza. It’s on the west side, close to warrior brewing and bent paddle brewing. A couple cideries in the area as well.

Ursa Minor is one of the best spots in Duluth for beer. We tried the Caprese pizza and it was fantastic the thin crust was perfectly crunchy with pesto and balsamic glaze that made every bite delicious. The soft German pretzel was huge, fluffy, and perfect for sharing. Highly recommend adding the garlic ricotta spread, it was excellent. For drinks, I did a beer flight and loved it. The Kölsch was crisp and refreshing, the Citrus Mistress seltzer was light and fun, and the Galactic Face IPA was the standout favorite. Phenomenal beers across the board. The dog-friendly patio with heaters makes it a great year-round hangout, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. Definitely a must-visit in Duluth.

Cool spot with outdoor heated patio for dogs. Had the interstellar face slap ipa which was really good! Service was good. Had food available but didn’t eat!

The pizza and the beer were both incredible. Love the outdoor area; it was a beautiful evening. I can't remember all the beers we tried, but every single one was incredible. The pizza was the one with the wild rice sausage - 10/10. Easily some of the best pizza I've had. The staff was amazing, too! I will certainly be back next time I'm in Duluth.

I love that they have vegan pizza! There's no vegan cheese, but they have fresh veggies and mushrooms, and even top it with nooch! The wood fired crust is so delicious. Their bear bread (focaccia) is perfect to snack on while you wait for the pizza. I love the outdoor space and the fires. I love being outside even if it's a bit chilly. I like that they have seltzer options for those of us who don't like beer.

We got two pizzas, a salad, a pretzel (which was smaller than we thought it would be) a root beer and a beer and it cost us $70 so honestly pretty par for the course. The pizza was amazing though and was worth the stop. The root beer didn’t have a ton of flavor but my husband enjoyed his beer. The salad was good but they definitely need to offer more sizes because the one size option could’ve easily been split between 4 people which makes it difficult to order salad if you have a smaller party. Would love to see a half size option or single serving option available. Outside of beer, they have sparkling lemonade and root beer so maybe expanding the non alcoholic drink options would also be nice. The environment was large with plenty of seating and very comfortable.

We absolutely love Ursa Minor and stop by every time we head up north for a weekend getaway. It can get busy, but we've always found seating options--even if there aren't tables available, the barrel tables on the patio make for a great standing option. The patio is amazing and very dog-friendly, which we love! The pizza is incredible and the beer is just as good. Highly recommend!

Great beers, service, samples, and pizza! Only one small critique... Pizzas could use a few more toppings. Otherwise the crust and overall flavor was on point. Will definitely make this a regular stop when in Duluth.

Ursa Minor Brewing was a great stop for our family while we were in town. It was raining by when we stopped and, although we opted to sit inside, I loved the option they have of a covered outdoor seating space. I ordered a flight and I like all the beers I tried. The bartender was helpful and made good recommendations. We also enjoyed the woods fired pizzas for lunch. They came out hot and crispy and delicious.

It's in West Duluth, there are a few other breweries and cideries close by. This place is a great menu with a very diverse beer selection. The pizza is also very good. Ample outdoor seating. Street parking could be a little challenging depending on the time of day. I was here early, June. It's counter service. Friendly.

We were heading up to the north shore for some camping and stopped here for lunch. They had a great menu and plenty of options for non-beer drinkers. I got a pint of root beer. We got a few different things. My friends loved their salad and the pizza was pretty good. I think it could've used a little more cheese. We also got the bear bread with ricotta and while it was delicious I thought there would be more bread for $8.

Tried this place for the first time. The location isn't exciting, but it's about the beer, right? I sampled 4 and they were all delish! Hard to find a brewery these days with a solid sampler that "bats a thousand." I definitely recommend exploring the beers here. They know what they're doing!

I have had a good number of Ursa Minor beer, but almost exclusively in cans. I was happy to be able to visit the taproom in order to enjoy their offerings on draft, and to chat with some other industry members. Ursa Minor Brewing is a craft brewery in Duluth, Minnesota's Lincoln Park Craft District that serves a variety of beers, wood-fired pizza, and other food. The brewery opened in 2018 and is named after the North Star constellation.  While there, I got a flight of some beers. Glamping: A Lemon Shandy that was super refreshing on the hot day. There was a nice tartness to it that made you keep grabbing for another sip. Agate Hunter: A Fruited Sour full of Boysenberry, Cherry, and Vanilla. Nice sweetness from the vanilla with tartness from the fruit. Berry forward with a tart finish. Alora Amora: A Hazy IPA that had a nice roundness to it. Not too thick, not too in your face, just a nice enjoyable Hazy. Oktoberfest: An Oktoberfest brewed with German Malt that accentuated the biscuit character while maintaining easy drinkability that you could imagine drinking out of a liter stein. ___

Stopped at this great brewery in the Duluth Lincoln Park Craft District a couple months ago. We had some terrific beers, listened to some good live music, and ate good wood fired pizza. They really nailed the outdoor space - works really well for both large groups and small ones like ours. Like several of the spots on W Superior, it has a kind of renovated industrial feel that feels well worn but somehow new at the same time.

We always get wonderful service at Ursa Minor. The beer and pizza is so delicious, their homemade ranch dressing is wonderful as well.

Love this place! Family friendly environment with a back room seating area that is designed for families. The drink menu offers a great variety and the staff are extremely helpful. The pizza is excellent with a quick turnaround from when you order to delivery to your table. Great outdoor seating options. Wednesday nights they offer fun trivia or bingo that rotates every week. If you're looking for a fun brewery experience, this is a must!

Kale pizza? Good for a slice, but a bit of a committal for a full pie. On a more positive note, a $6 twenty ounce draft is quite a snag for a weekly special. Our server was quick to entertain his choice of "the most American song." However, his choice of Don McLean seemed a certainty as it played over the loudspeakers at the time of asking. If you're looking to play GoFish or Hanabi and see a lot of dogs, this is the covered porch for you. I'd return again, but would be trying a different pizza. To be specific, a gluten circle with a few more gluttonous calories. Cheers Duluthers and other fellow visitors.

Ursa Minor Brewing is a must-visit in Duluth! Great beer selection, a fun laid-back atmosphere, and super friendly service. The outdoor patio is perfect, and the food hits the spot too.

I absolutely love the vibe and beer at Ursa! In the summer, there plenty of outdoor seating with fire pits and live music too (with a pontoon boat for a stage..gotta luv it!). My favorite beer choices were the Kolsch and Oktoberfest. They do fill growlers too as a bonus. I didn't try the pizza so can't comment on the food. We thoroughly enjoyed this brew pub!

This place is super roomy with plenty of seating inside and on the patio. Dog friendly, kid friendly. The kids even have their own area. The beer was good and a good selection. Service was good. You can order your food at the bar. We had a voyager pizza. I would have done a little less kale and more mushrooms but that's my personal preference and it was a delicious pizza.

I happened to be traveling through Duluth 2 weekends in a row. After discovering Ursa Minor the first weekend, loving their beer options and absolutely amazing pizza, I was so happy to come back the next week. I'm not someone who normally repeats places, always wanting to try something new. However, with so many creative beers on tap and such good pizza, I plan to make this as "regular" of a stop as possible. Friendly staff. Easy to find seating. They handle long lines efficiently.

The pizza here is outstanding. Service was fast and respectful. There was a wide variety of beer to choose from - so much so that my wife got a flight to try more options. We went on a beautiful May day, and we loved soaking up some sun on the patio area. They had a local jazz band playing tunes. Excellent brewery and restaurant. Can't wait to go back.

Ursa Minor is a great place in Duluth! We loved it cause it's family friendly and kids are welcome. There's indoor seating and a huge outdoor area including a covered patio if it rains + it's dog friendly! They host live music on select days and there are courtyard games. We ordered two flights and got to chose our selections. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We will be returning!

Delicious beer including Belgian style ales, IPAs and more, as well as kombucha and other drinks. Had a wonderful kale pizza and listened to a lovely singer in a friendly place, with a nice outdoor seating area. Off the main tourist track, very enjoyable.

Fun place in the renovated downtown of Duluth this brewer pizzeria has a cool outdoor indoor vibe with killer pizza and some delicious beers. Root beer on tap for the littles and a fantastic German pretzel with cheese and mustard. Seating can be tough on busy days and it's under renovation but when it's done it will be quite the spot indoor. Also one of the best people watching spots as it is an eclectic mix of folks. Try it when you are up north or in the greater Duluth area

Unbelievable beer and pizza. A place I will definitely return. IT WAS BUSY!!! But the staff was super kind and polite, the variety of beer and the quality was top notch. Amazing place for get together large or small and a large outside for pets too!! Really enjoyed this place. All the pizzas (tried 6 kinds) were all delicious.

Great brewery and great fun spots to sit and relax on their brewery. We got beverages including the thc drink by wild state (I'm gfree). It was one of the best tasting thc drinks I've ever had. And to boot, wild state is 460 feet from Ursa Minor. Snacks - we got a cauliflower pepperoni pizza, kettle chips and the pretzel for the 6 of us. Cauliflower crust was just okay and did take a long time to come out. I wish they would've mentioned that they had an influx of orders and it would take 30+ mins. Also, the staff weren't friendly at all and seemed more bothered when I came to the counter to order or ask a question.

This brewery is for everybody to feel welcomed. The employees were so friendly and helpful picking the perfect flight. The beer was amazing and a massive selection. The atmosphere is warm with something for everyone. My only regret is I only had limited to enjoy. What a gem Duluth has!

Craft beer was fine, pizza was good for wood fired, but my god.....there were tons of unsupervised kids running wild!! Absolutely ridiculous. I'm not some old guy shaking my fist at the clouds, but what happened to parenting??

It was ok I had a cider and gluten free pizza. Both were good but there is no where near enough cheese on their pizzas. Plus it took like half an hour to get it. Way too long IMO.

The pizza is incredible! Beer is delicious! Fun atmosphere and very friendly staff. Not sure I love the ordering method and the lack of take out containers/box. Hard to bring home a pizza in a paper bag. With that said, I will still go back because it's just that good.

Great family friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. Street parking can be a little tricky. We tried two pizzas, both were delicious but I particularly loved the Baked Potato Pie! Sauna Beer also so good!

Excellent pizza and wide selection of draft beers on hand. Something for everyone and also kid friendly.

I swear, their wood fire pizza comes out so fast, and is so delicious, I can never get enough. Aside from that since it's brewery, that is no slight to their beers. I've had their pils, a couple sours, and several of their stouts over the course of my numerous visits and they all deliver. This particular trip I'm having their Imperial Cultivating Mass. This no adjunct stout has a rich, roasty chocolate flavor that's extremely pleasant. I also checked out their Blackberry Stout that's more session-able at 5.7% and was quite tasty. Also had their pepperoni pizza which has a solid flavor and rich toppings. Generally I can always find street parking close which is always a plus (and free). They're easily my fave Duluth stop. Prices fair, atmosphere solid, food and beer well worth checking out.

A visiting out-of-towner asked his friends where to go to see the best parts of Duluth nightlife - a place locals would go for a great beer and a great bite of food. They picked me up at my hotel and brought me straight to Ursa Minor, and I'm quite pleased they did. The place was loud-ish. It was fun. It was oddly shaped, with different rooms. The beers were really good and the selection was delightfully diverse - especially for someone who doesn't like IPAs and gets sick of places that only have 5 IPAs and a Pale Ale on their menu. We also had some pizza, which was inventive. Squirts of ricotta cheese and pickled onion and kale - these are the kinds of ingredients I want to try on my pizza, especially when I'm travelling. The crust was crunchy and I love the wood-fired flavor. I will not only suggest this place to my handful of Duluth friends, but also give my highest recommendation for other weary travelers lucky enough to stop into town. Great spot!

Don't skip this brewery in Duluth, MN! GREAT spot! A friend and I stopped on a Friday afternoon and stayed for a few hours....longer than we planned. ;-) The lady who helped us was friendly and nice. She recommended the pretzel and it did not disappoint at all. The cheese and ranch served with it was very tasty. My friend even got some ranch to go! Brew was good! We really enjoyed the Glamping beer. Patio is huge and nice. It was a little bit chilly that afternoon and there were heaters on to help keep you warm. There were also fire pits outside. The pizzas smelt and looked delicious too; I'll have to try that next time I visit. This is a must stop for me when in Duluth.

Duluth is packed with places to cozy up to a beer, and this spot should definitely make your list! Located on the Superior Street Strip, it's easy to make a few other stops over the course of an evening or afternoon. Plenty of street parking available nearby! The space inside is actually quite small (the reason this spot loses a star) but there is lots of outdoor space available! So as long it isn't the dead of winter, there's usually somewhere to call your own! We came during the fall, and they had a few firepits set up, which were perfect for us! Service has always been nice and quick! The beer is good! Super solid, well-known varieties. I went with the Oktoberfest, which was lovely! You can't go wrong with their many choices. They also serve wood-fired pizzas that look really tasty! We always make a stop when we are in Duluth!

We have been DYING to come to this brewery, and we finally did! Atmosphere was good, the outside patio was gorgeous, the service was all right, the beers are fabulous. Needless to say, we were not disappointed!

Cool brewery with an awesome outside space. We went on a Friday night and the outside area was packed, so we ended up sitting inside. Love that the outside has live music and the inside has a play area for kids. Great assortment of beverages to choose from, not just beer. Tried a bunch of their pizzas and they're tasty, but they're a little on the small side considering the price. And not sure if it was just the day we went, but it took an hour to get our food. They warned us in advance that it would take a while, but still... Overall, it's a fun place to bring the family and I would consider coming back if ever visiting Duluth again and have time to kill.

Ursa Minor definitely has one cool logo and is servin' up some delicious craft beer. The interior is intimate w/ a bunch of board games and a wood-fire pizza oven! They also have a spacious patio with heaters in the winter. But one of my favorite things is that they have community events like art night and live music! We got a flight when we went ($10) to try all the different brews. My personal favorite was the constellation cream ale. And you know we had to try one of their wood-fire pizzas! We just got the classic margarita pizza ($13.50) and it was sooo tasty. Crispy yet soft at the same time. The vibes here are just great. Noisy but not too noisy. Dark but not too dark. Definitely a place to grab a couple beers with some friends, hang for a while, and enjoy yourselves.

Cool brewery. I wish we had chosen to eat here instead of where we went, but the beers were good and we'll thought out. Very inclusive atmosphere. The beertender was excited and knowledgeable about their brews. The queue to order expanded and contracted quickly, so even if there looks to be a long wait, it goes quickly. I/we wanted merch to support, but nothing seemed to hit us right.

My husband came there for the Bearista coffee beer, I tagged along for the pizza. Both were excellent. A bit long of a wait for the pizza, but it was a busy Saturday afternoon. (And the bartender let us know that up front - thank you!) Wish the Bearista was a year-around option!!

Ursa has become one of my all-time favorite breweries and definitely my favorite in the Duluth area! They have so many great brews and they continue to innovate. With a wide variety of options, awesome pizza, and a cool atmosphere, I can't recommend Ursa enough.

Very cool place. The staff and food were great. The staff was welcoming. The outdoor patio looks great bout we were there at 45 below so we stayed inside with a fun decor n

Stopped by Monday for a casual dinner of wood fired pizza and tasty brews. Had the extra powered IPA and Oktoberfest. Both luscious beautiful brews. The very chill indoor atmosphere added a nice vibe to the flavorful Wise Yker pie. Great blend of meat cheese and onions. My only suggestion would be to add a couple pepperoncini's on the side to wake up my palate!

Love this brewery! They have an awesome patio layout. The patio is huge so there's a lot of spots to choose from, you can sit by the fire or underneath the pergola. They have awesome beer choices I really enjoyed the pale ale. We also ordered food this time around, the pizza is delicious! Crispy and flavorful - the cheesy panini was good too!

Favorite spot in Duluth!! Have a large selection of alcoholic beverages and N/A beverages. The pizza selection is fantastic and all the other options are as well! Don't even get me started on the out door heated patio

We stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon and it was so crowded we left. Returned on a Monday and was great. Open patio and dining. We enjoyed two pizzas from their brick oven, as well as a bag of Windy City Three Mad Poppers popcorn, and a pretzel with beer cheese and popcorn. Also enjoyed a tiny glass of a very nice cider.

This place is a must if you are in the area! The food is great and so is the beer! The atmosphere is very cute too! I would definitely stop back here if I was in the area again.

The beer selection was amazing my husband and I both got a different flight so we could try more we normally don't purchase a lot of beer from microbreweries but this was exceptional our favorite was the hazy bear. The staff was very helpful.

We came here on a Friday afternoon for some beverages and snacks. I had the badass princess warrior, a hazy ipa. It was delicious. My husband had a stout, and liked it. My kids got root beer and also enjoyed it. There is a patio and a huge outdoor area. There is a lot of seating inside as well.

Had to stop by for my carb load the day before Grandma's! The pizza was satisfying but, personal preference, was hoping for a little more ricotta on the Voyager. The red chili pepper flakes gave it a nice bite. We also had the Bear Bread and it was a nice thin crust cheesy, toasty bread. The marinara sauce it came with was really good. I enjoyed the oatmeal stout, Zaddy's Breakfast. Highly recommend the Ewok Cuddles and Bieramisu! Overall, this is a cool lunch place to visit with its outdoor patio and indoor industrial vibe!

Perfect patio for a windy spring day. I split a pepperoni pizza with friends (no brews for me). The patio is protected from the wind and has heaters. It was 55 degrees outside and I was comfortable! Service was awesome - food was delivered to our table outside and a server even bussed our table for us. Would recommend!

Great space, kid friendly, good variety of brews and non-brews. Pretzels are a kid-pleaser

Pepperoni pizza ($16) and a flight of beer ($14). Awesome atmosphere and pretty good pizza!
