Went here for my impromptu bachelor party. This place was better than expected. Seems like a whole in the wall place but you walk in and are amazed by how big the place is. Lots of space & lots of games. Plenty of pool tables, dart boards and other bar games to include some arcade game. Great drink selection and even have some really good pizza. Definitely was a great place for an last minute minute bachelor party.

Char dog loves the Reef

If youre looking to support a local business during the Corona situation, this is one you should visit. An amazing and dedicated owner, probably the most friendly bartenders on this side of the bridge, amazing conversation from staff and patrons alike and more than appropriate pricing for Duluth. If you are in the area, Dan makes the best bloody youve ever had and will remember your order every time; his commitment to his customers and this establishment keeps me coming back every week.The Reef is a gorgeous bar, lots of room, awesome regulars and super clean. It has everything you would want, from sports always on multiple screens, to great dart boards and pool, as well as pull tabs.Thank you so much, as always, for the amazing service.

I had a fantastic time here! There is lots to do and its a big area so you arent smooshed up against other people even if it is busy. Would definitely recommend

Like the atmosphere very late. Fast service

One of my favorite bars in D town. Pull tabs, bring your drink outside with ya on a patio overlooking lake Superior. Fun locals darts, pool, popcorn...friendly staff. I heart the reef!!

I love bars that have split setups. The bar area is the music area and then they have a pool/darts area where people can converse. Its my favorite bar in Duluth. Great pizza and great service as well.

Awesome bar. Great place to watch Vikings games. Free shots whenever the Vikings score and free pizza at halftime

Loved the place! Fast service, clean bathrooms and games in the back. Fun atmosphere

The Reef is the best place in town to watch Vikings football! Theres a free snack at halftime and popcorn plus reasonable prices on drinks. Now, if only the Vikes would make the experience that much better by winning their games!

Great low key atmosphere. The locals were kind and didnt mess with us. They have pool tables and other games which made the experience super fun. The bartender was also super nice and good at his job. If youre looking to avoid the tourists and have a nice chill night this is the place. This will now be our go to bar when were in Duluth. Good job Reef Bar two thumbs up!

This is a good bar with a pretty calm atmosphere. There is quite the mix of people as far as ages go. The service is fast and the drinks are good

Good place to watch a game or shoot some pool. Salty popcorn and cold beer

A good place to grab a drink or two and play some pool. The tap selection was pretty decent actually and the prices were reasonable enough.

I really like the night life there especially on the weekends

The place is kind of cramped. Not very open. There are plenty of TVs but they just seem to be at awkward angles. The parking is very iffy here. The lot is extremely small and full of potholes and bumpy. I often have to park across the busy street and cross traffic to get into the bar. The restroom is pretty sad. Its a bar and Im not expecting perfection but there are many things that could be done to improve the customer experience here

James is awesome!

Great bar with friendly staff. Cheap food and beer. Awesome atmosphere.

Great bar. Local feel with college kids to happy hour folks.

Always full of people, but service is good

Great time

Ive been in there 3 times now. Theres no food except for frozen pizza, which is actually not too bad.Ive always met new people in there who are generally very friendly and nice. Theres a good selection of beers and craft brew on tap.Most of the bartenders are good, there is one who waits on the regulars primarily and ignored the newcomers. But for the most part its a pretty cool dive bar.

It use to be one of my favorite bars in Duluth until the bartender couldn’t keep track of orders and gave me extra drinks I didn’t order. Besides the one bar tender a great place.

Fun atmosphere, a lot of great entertainment. Especially Shari from KMA, excellent DJ!!

Staff are awesome. Its a nice place if youre looking for a sports bar thats not ridiculously expensive and its more of a laid back tempo.

Just a absolutely good time

Great service, fun and interesting clientl.

Don’t knock it until you you’ve imbibed it

Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great beer on tap with good mixture of local and national craft breweries.

Decent specials, beautiful lake view, lots of events and a great crowd.

Carry Okie rocks! Good DJ, great crowd, lots of good voices ( but just the right kind so you are not nervous getting up yourself ), fun all around till the little numbers on the clock.

Guess if you like the last dive before Lakeside, place for you. Sports, karaoke nights, cheap beer smell.

This is a very friendly place for watching sporting events and simply relaxing.

Karaoke is super fun

Solid, and one of Duluths underrated drinking establishments

Same old reef. Hadnt been there in years. Couldnt believe they have the same bar stools!!

Love This Bar their patio overlooks Lake Superior nice friendly people Union man in the union members there felt very comfortable keep it up Reef

I went the to visit family and karaoke was on that night and I heard one of the best singers in a long time it was quiet, drinks were good, we had a good time.

Great atmosphere!

Very outdated! Bathroom was gross with stall doors that didnt stay shut. My advice find something else!!

A dive bar without any of the perks of a dive bar. Dirty, bad drinks, and extremely rude staff. Karoke operator actually flicked off patrons and heckled people over the mic. Will never come back to this establishment.

Great place just under appreciated bar in town!

We enjoyed our brief stop. The barentender wasnt lean on the booze in our drinks. They have a variety of games including ski ball! And a patio over looking superior.

Every time I come back to the area I must make a stop here. Its a huge establishment with plenty going on.

Fun little hole in the wall dive bar.

Chill spot to hang

The office building vibes werent good....The rum was on point

Nice place and great beer selection!

A super Nice place to hangout

Great bar good popcorn

Took a while to be able to get drinks.

Plenty of selections, friendly bar staff, plethora of televisions to watch sports, pull tabs, and some games like darts in the back. Great place to hang out!

Really fun

The bar is your typical hole in the wall. Fair enough prices in drinks. Besy thing they offer is their Buck Hunt game. Its well calibrated and has only been out of order once. Good times have been had in this bar.

Good Chicken Alfredo Pizza! The meeting area is nice, big, and private.

GREAT BAR... VERY FRIENDLY STAFF...

Such a fun place to hang out, Tommy is the best bartender in town!

A keeping it real vibe with helpful and engaging staff.

Great bar, wish they had a grill

Tommy is cool af, love this place, first time here and it was great. Nice folks. Come have a tall Surly!

Great place to relax and have fun with friends.

Great bartender

Nice people, clean

Awesome staff and atmosphere

Very poor and rude service I and my friend waited over 30 mins for a drink bartenders looked at us we were there first they still served others and skipped us we talked to bartenders there and bouncers and they said oh well nothing they can do about it it happens so because Im not a college student I cant get served that wrong

Not a tourist attraction

Bartenders are first class. Plenty of tvs and bar games. Great atmosphere.

Phenomenal service via one very friendly bartender!

If I wanted just sour, I wouldnt have ordered whisky with it. The bar tenders were rude and ignored me, three times blatantly, when I nicely asked for water. Never again!!!!

Had a laid back atmosphere. Bar tenders were good company.

Its better than my own front room if you are a local coledge student or local working man or even road weathered traveler you are welcomed and treated like your visiting family great drinks good prices and hell free peanuts and popcorn cant beat that with a stick!

Have been going here off an on for a long time..Always treated well and a fun place to have big groups of people.

Great beer, great bartenders, great atmosphere.

Differing drink prices for some reason, but normally very polite staff.

Place place to sing karaoke. Womans bathroom is very tight and uncomfortable

Great view from the outdoor patio!

Best Wednesday night bar around!

Great place to unwind and enjoy interacting with the bartenders and customers!

Cheap bier, cheap food, what more can you expect? They have a patio for smoking, a large back room for when near the bar is too loud, the have one pinball game always.Not my crowd that goes there.

An average bar for people who just wanna go watch a game or sing some karaoke.

The bartenders and crowd are both wonderful.

Good sports bar, not crowded and good for bar games

Its really fun on karaoke night!

Friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Gives good head

Fun dive bar, good specials.
