About Riverside Bar & Grill
Riverside Bar & Grill sits on Grand Avenue in Riverside, the small company-built neighborhood between Smithville and Morgan Park, and it is one of very few places to eat anywhere along this stretch of the river road.
The far west end of Duluth is a chain of small neighborhoods strung along Grand Avenue with almost no commercial ground between them. Riverside, Smithville and Norton Park share what little there is, so a bar with a kitchen at 8551 Grand is a genuine amenity rather than an afterthought. For a buyer looking at these blocks, the honest picture is that you have one or two local options and everything else is a drive up Grand Avenue toward Spirit Valley.
Listings show it open Thursday through Sunday rather than daily, which is common for a bar of this size and worth planning around. Hours are not published by the business, and no first-party source confirms current operation, so treat the hours and the operating status as unconfirmed and call before you go.
Good to know: bar and grill, riverside setting, limited days.
