About The Red Herring Lounge
The Red Herring Lounge was a beloved small live-music venue and bar located at 208 E 1st St, Duluth, MN 55802. With a cozy 250-person capacity, it hosted a variety of intimate shows and was recognized as a top new music venue in 2015, helping Dallas to connect artists with fans in a warm, casual setting. Since 2019, the building has been repurposed for WorldZen Clothing Co., but the venue's memory endures for locals and touring artists alike.
