Far North Spirits, located up in Hallock, MN, is the northernmost distillery in the lower 48. They may be young in the distillery world but the farm and the spirit reach far into the past. Cheri Reese and Michael Swanson left the city seven years ago and started making spirits on a 100+ year old farm. Since then, they have been making a splash locally and globally. You can find them at the local liquor store in Grand Forks or Fargo and also across…

At the end of November, The Aquarium was slated to host an illustrious event called “Battle of the Hamm’s.” However, in a turn of events that seems all too familiar this winter, inclement weather got in the way. “Much like many winter months the snow got the best of us that day,” said Ryan Hoffart, longtime booker in the Fargo-Moorhead area who as of last summer took over booking and overall directing of the Aquarium. The night did not end up going to waste, though.
“Some…

Even though it didn’t officially open until February 1st of last year, Moorhead bar Harold’s on Main had been under discussion for several years beforehand by its owners. Longtime friends and musicians Eric Odness, Rob Pope, Frank Bevan, Sean Tillman, Preston Olson, and Tom Kemmer wanted to provide a new addition to make up for the dearth of bars in Moorhead compared to its neighbor Fargo.
Though some, like Moorhead native Odness who now lives in Brooklyn, were separated by…

Perched along the banks of the Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela Rivers and tucked up into the surrounding hills, Pittsburgh’s 90 distinct neighborhoods are connected by more bridges than Venice. Commuters and travelers enjoy sweeping views from two of the nation’s oldest funiculars. So kick off your Pittsburgh trip with an epic skyline shot, then set aside time to eat, drink, wander and sample the idiosyncrasies, some of the city’s inimitable districts at street level.
Because…

The famous 20th century Southern writer William Faulkner quipped, “Civilization begins with distillation.” Technically one brews beer instead of distilling it, but the sentiment still holds true. Fargo is no stranger to the art of fermentation, with local breweries stationed all over town to wet one’s whistle. The oldest of these alcoholic ambassadors is Fargo Brewing Company, which will soon be celebrating its 9th anniversary. Recently I had the opportunity to ask Jess Click,…

If you’re from the region you may have sipped, sampled or caught word of a libation often referred to as “red eye” or “wedding whiskey” at some point. In fact some of our friends of German Russia descent swear by it. If you can get your hands on a bottle it’s often homemade and usually comes out during holidays or during times of celebration. Thanks to Arthur Weidner owner of Doodlebug Beverages based out of West Fargo. He and his family are sharing their family recipe with…

The 1,290 square-foot garage that was once Main Avenue Auto has generated a lot of buzz for good reason. Harold’s on Main is Moorhead’s newest watering hole and the attention is all in the details. With its dark wood paneling, green vinyl booths, decadent wallpaper and red-votive-candle-lined horseshoe-shaped bar. It’s aesthetically reminiscent of a cozy mid century lounge or supper club.
Plus with their spacious and ultra stylish bathrooms we predict that they may become…
