Have made this a must-stop when in the Canal Park area. Located right next to the arial bridge, the distillery is in a small, unassuming warehouse space in Duluth. Lots of fun beverages to choose from ans things seem to rotate quickly. I have also learned, if there's something you are really craving, they'll figure out how to make something you'll enjoy. Definitely worth a stop for a cocktail.

Will forever be a "must stop" for me any time I'm going through Duluth. It doesn't get much more relaxing and quaint than this after a nice lakefront walk. The staff is amazing, bartenders friendly, and service prompt. I always get a spirit flight with whatever is seasonal and salmon dip from the always amazing Northern Waters Smokehaus. Their cocktails are really good, too, but I prefer neat. The rest of their bar snacks are good and I appreciate that they have solid vegetarian options. They just need to bring back the licorice holiday cocktail and I'll be there all day!

This is I believe my third time stopping in Vikre and it delivers every time! Located on the canal strip just before you hit the lift bridge, it has this rustic, charming, almost intimate vibe to it. The staff is always upbeat matching the tunes you'll hear in the cocktail lounge. On this trip I did the Tropical Goth which instantly transported me to a warm beach with my feet in the water and zero cares in the world. Shout out to the craftsmanship of this cocktail on an almost 90 degree day. Definitely recommend checking them out!

We decided to try a Distillery to end the evening and it was a delight. We tried a flight each which included their Vodka, Gin and whiskeys and Bourbon. Service was quick and the education in their products was so helpful in not wasting money and preferences. The ambiance was eclectic in furnishings and comfort preferences. I saw people on dates, women having a "girls night out", amen in office clothes winding down from a day of work. I will definitely return, maybe tonight?

Vikre Distillery has a great cocktail room! Loved their selection of creative cocktails and snack boxes. We ordered the frenchie flight, a savory aquavit cocktail (pining for the fjords), and the vegan snack box. Loved everything except for the aquavit cocktail, but I probably should have ordered something else in the first place. Frenchie flight was great if you're not into spirit forward drinks, they were real easy to drink. Was pretty impressed with the vegan snackbox. It was $19 but did include vegan sausage and vegan cheese. It was a good amount of snack food for 2 to 3 people. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it did start to get pretty full. It does look like they have an online waitlist on their website if you're going at a busy time. Our server was really friendly and made great and honest recommendations. However, there was a longer wait to put in our order and we had to put some effort into flagging down a server to get our check.

Finally got a chance to stop in and try this bar out. I usually would stop by and pick up a drink kit to go but I had an evening just to chill so perfect opportunity. I had a couple of their summer drinks. I loved how many of the drinks were expertly crafted with house made syrups like pistachio orgeat, brown sugar syrup, pecan falernum, and black currant syrup. If none of those sound familiar, don't fear. Their menu is unique and well thought out to compliment their own liquor but the classics can be found here as well. Prices were very generous considering the amount of elements added to each one. Expect about $10-15 a drink. This place reminded me of a true to form tiki bar or craft bar, where love and craft is put into each drink. Bonus that they are steps to the iconic lift bridge and lake walk. I did not try it but I definitely eyed a couple that was eating the norther waters salmon pate, it looked and smelled amazing. Next time...

This is the second time I have been to Vikre and both experiences have been wonderful. It's located in the canal park area just less then a block from the lift bridge. There was a very small wait to get our group seated at a table. The staff was honest about how long the wait could be which I appreciated! The decor is rustic, casual and very welcoming. The drink choices looked amazing! I decided to have the cocktail called "Cruel Summer". The ingredients I included H&S whiskey, passion fruit, pineapple juice, pistachio orgeat, hibiscus-infused Amaro Superiore. The color of this drink was cute and it tasted really amazing! All the flavors blended really well! Definitely make this a stop when visiting Duluth!

One of my favorite places to stop whenever I visit Duluth. Vikre made a gin drinker out of me. I recommend trying a flight just to understand and appreciate their offerings, but their cocktails are also excellent. When the weather is good, don't forget the adorable patio in the back.
