Pickle Herring Club - Grand Marais

Great place, like all other places in Grand Marias they suffer from lack of staff. Nice ambiance

Visited the north shore in Feb to take in some waterfalls and stayed in Grand Marais. Stopped in at Gunflint for a bite, and ended up going back several times that week. Off season so we got special attention. Great food, service, drinks. Great food. Did I say that???

Careful Your Racism is Showing One of the most disappointing service experiences of my life. Have been coming to Grand Marais for over 50 years to enjoy. A lifetime of joyful visits was grossly sullied today by the service my family received at gunflint rooftop tavern. My son, who chose to quietly spend his 21st birthday with his family, was asked for ID when he and his father placed their orders. This request was honored. Then from nowhere the bartender accused my very respectful son of having an attitude, as he stood there with his parents watching (no attitude was given). The next event will keep me from EVER placing foot in this establishment again. The bartender then began to mockingly speak to them in broken Spanish. A blatantly obvious racially motivated attempt to reduce and intimidate a customer. This was followed by the bartender warning us that he will be keeping an eye on us . An eye on what? 4 adults enjoying a cocktail? Ridiculous !! Unlike the bartender, my family was respectful of the environment and others uninvolved that were present. We quietly consumed our drinks, processing and discussing with each other ... Did that really just happen? Yes It did. Racism is alive and well at The Gunflint Rooftop Tavern. Our voice will be strong here and other review sites. Do not bring your business to this establishment . Do not support businesses that allow racially motivated negative treatment of clients !

We went here a few times over Valentines week and had some interesting experiences. We are from out of town and it became obvious that outsiders are not very welcomed here. Staff and locals sit at the far side of the bar and glare at people when they walk in. On Valentines night I ordered the walleye and below is what I received. It was very oily and had almost like a gel on the outside. The presentation was terrible. We sent it back and the kind bartender took it off our bill. Skip this place for food.

Great eclectic food menu and three bars!! The rooftop bar is a favorite during the summer months, a front row seat to the GM harbor- watch the boats and sip on a cold one.
