About The Cedar Lounge

The Cedar Lounge is Earth Rider Brewery's official taproom, a block west of the brewery across its festival grounds, with parking off North Tower Avenue.

The building was put up in 1912 for Superior's Northern Brewing Company, along what was then the city's working harbor and entertainment district, and it is billed as the longest continually operating tavern in the Twin Ports (Earth Rider Brewery, accessed 2026-08-13).

The result is one of the better small rooms for live music in the region: an old building with the right proportions, a beer list from the brewery next door, and a booking calendar that regularly pulls people across the bridge from Duluth. For a city whose nightlife reputation was, for decades, a joke told by its neighbor, the Cedar Lounge is the strongest single counterargument.

Good to know: live music venue, Earth Rider taproom, 1912 building, longest continually operating tavern in the Twin Ports.
