Pickwick Restaurant and Pub, Duluth, Minnesota
The Pickwick restaurant and pub in Duluth, Minnesota began in 1888 as the “Old Saloon," a tasting bar located within the Fitger Brewing Company. It survived a move, prohibition and the Great Depression to be in business for 124 years with many relics from 19th century intact.
