I was recently at the Green Door, for the first time in almost five years. Nearly everything about this place has changed for the better! It has great atmosphere, excellent events on the weekend and a first class staff. The selection of off-sale is incredible, given the limited space! Beer, Whiskeys, Bourbons, Rums and Gins are available for perusing comfortably. What they have for variety, regularly beats the selection in stores 3-5 times the size. I tried the Engine Gin, Michters Rye and a bottle of Bumbu Rum and was not disappointed. If you're traveling up and down Hwy 61, be sure to stop in for a drink or a bottle. You won't regret it!
I bought advance tickets for myself and friends. We arrived early and waited a half hour in line. The basket had 4 smelt, a Tbsp of slaw and a tsp of tartar sauce, a tiny bag of chips and orange drink. I was told it was all you can eat when I bought the tickets. When my friends and I went to the head of the line and asked for a couple more smelt, the man attendant grinned and gleefully told me I had to "sweat the line" which was now longer than before. 4 SMELT? I live on the Gunflint and pass through Beaver Bay all the time and from now on I will keep right on going. I made a 200 mile trip for a fun experience and found a 4 smelt ripoff leaving hungry. Never again.
I’ve been coming here for years. It’s a good local bar right on the highway. It’s housed in the original old school house. Sometimes they have live music and stand up comedy. There’s a pool table in the lower bar but there used to be two until they rearranged it. I kind of miss having two pool tables but not many played anyway. Mitch is the best bartender! He’s been here forever. It’s a good slice of local life on the north shore.
I have been coming to beaver bay my entire life but only on vacation. I come by the green door nearly every day while I'm here. They have good wifi, a great selection of local beers both on tap and to buy and an increasing selection of local spirits. More importantly the entire staff (led by Mitch this year) make me feel welcome. It's a great place to grab a beer, make new friends and eat some pizza. They sometimes have live music and this year a great bbq truck was selling food in the parking lot.
