About Streetcar Kitchen & Pub
Streetcar Kitchen & Pub is in Carlton, not Cloquet. That is worth stating plainly, because regional restaurant listings routinely file it under Cloquet and it turns up in "best of Cloquet" roundups, which has misled more than one visitor into the wrong town.
It sits about ten minutes southwest of Cloquet and about twelve from Esko, doing burgers, salads, and craft beer in a sit-down room with a full bar (Explore Minnesota, accessed 2026-08-13).
For households in Cloquet, Esko, Scanlon, and Carlton it is one of the closer options for a real dinner out without driving to Duluth, and its position near Jay Cooke State Park and the Willard Munger State Trail's Carlton trailhead makes it a natural stop at the end of a ride or a hike. The street address is settled at 232 Chestnut Avenue, Carlton's main street, with the Third Base Bar across the road at 225. Hours are not published by the business, so confirm before you go.
Good to know: burgers, salads, craft beer, full bar, sit-down dining.
