About Black Woods Grill & Bar, Two Harbors
The Two Harbors Black Woods is on 7th Avenue in the middle of town, and the company calls it "our first location," ahead of Proctor and London Road.
Do not over-read that into an origin story, though, because the company also describes itself as Duluth family owned and operated since the early 1990s. Both statements are its own. The straightforward reading is a Duluth family whose first restaurant happened to open up the shore, rather than a North Shore business that later moved into the city. For anyone weighing Two Harbors as a place to live, the useful part is simply that the town supported a restaurant of this scale first, and still does, which the smaller settlements north of it do not.
The location page describes seasonal dining with an outdoor patio and daily happy hour specials, which is the shape of trade in a town whose summer population is several times its winter one.
The group publishes menus but no daily opening hours on any location page, so this guide gives none, and a shore restaurant's season is worth confirming besides. Call before you drive up.
Good to know: steaks, full bar, outdoor patio, seasonal dining, daily happy hour, the group's first location.
