A lovely pub with an ambience of an old railway station . It has a lovely homely vibe, helps relax. They have live band and it’s a cherry on the top. The seasonal beers are awesome , food is good, could be better. Service is great. Our server took great care of us, and helped us choose a good beer options and we ended up carrying few crowlers.

A restored train depot into a phenomenal bar with superb pizzas, among several other tasty treats! I could make a meal out of the Reuben Bites alone!The Cheese Cake Bites was also a fabulous 'sampler plate' to satisfy many!So very happy we learned of this place.

Wow! What happened? The food has really suffered since their days at the old location. There pizza was the best I've ever had back then. Thick, hand tossed crust, zesty and flavorful sauce and heaping toppings! All of which was homemade every day! Now, it's worse than Dominos and that's saying something! I went there to celebrate my birthday. I sang its praises to my family and friends about how good there pizza is and how they've never had anything like it before! Well, I was right about one thing. They've never had pizza like this before! When the pizzas came out, my stomach sank! I knew right away this was not the same pizza they've had before. The crust looked like the premade, frozen, shipped in bulk junk and tasted like it too! The sauce was drab and lacked any flavor. The toppings were not much better. We still ate, cause what else would we do? It was incredibly disappointing and I felt humiliated by everyone else's dissatisfaction with the food! We had so much pizza left over and no one wanted to take it home. We even told the waitress the pizza was terrible and all we got was an apology and our bill. Most places will offer you a discount or coupons or something. I mean, we ordered 4 large pizzas and took home 2 and a half of them and there was 10 of us! That should tell you something. I'm sorry for a bad review but unless you bring back the original recipes and start making your pizzas the way you used to, I'm not coming back. I do not recommend Thirsty Pagan.

Pizza is real good here. Beer isn't bad either. I like the local and eclectic vibe.

Cost. They nickel and dime you. Two burgers and one salad was $72.00. The problem is they don't tell you it's an extra cost. For example, I ordered thousand Island dressing for my burger and it was an extra cost. I would not recommend it.

**Update** We had the Derailed pizza yesterday and asked for extra sauce because the last few pizzas that we've had here have been short on the sauce. If I'm paying $40 for a 16" pizza, it's pretty tacky charging for the extra sauce like an extra topping, especially after skimping on most of the veggies that are supposed to be on a Derailed pizza. You'd think we'd ordered a black olive pizza! It's no longer worth the drive for pizza at Thirsty Pagan.

Absolutely amazing spot! Came here from across the pond to end a weekend Duluth trip. I'm a big brewery person and their beer exceeded expectations. Pizza and service were top notch as well. Cool historic building too. Will definitely be back!

There’s a reason why prices aren’t listed online. Called and ordered a 16” derailed pizza, was shocked to learn it was $42… for a pizza. Anyways it was a great pizza but definitely NOT worth $42. Maybe $27 MAX.

My absolute favorite pizza place I've ever visited and one of my very favorite restaurants. Pizza is great, beer is great, prices are great, staff is great, restaurant is great and the ambiance is great. The only negative I have is that I live thousands of miles away and only get there when I visit on vacation. It is a highlight of every trip that everyone in my family always looks forward to. I cannot recommend it enough, I hesitate to be this honest because while it's never empty, it's also never as crowded as I think it should be. If I get there next summer and have a long wait, I'll know why!

Great beer and the BEST pizza around! One of our favorites! We love the atmosphere and they have live music sometimes that is always wonderful.
I had 2 different brews and were both excellent. We ordered a green olive and pepperoni pizza and that was fantastic. Live music was the cherry on top!

Great food, but poorly lit and often too loud. Feels like a medieval dungeon.

We had epic honey pig pizza and cold craft beer. The live music was fantastic. In homage to the great brewery’s a collection of Bavarian breweries coasters.

Overpriced, low quality. $50 for one pizza is ridiculous. Waits are long and there is no parking.

Great food and they also rent the space out for private events.
