Superior Bathhouse Brewery

Only brewery in the world inside a US national park, brewing with thermal water

Address 329 Central Avenue

Built into the smallest of the eight Bathhouse Row buildings, restored after decades of closure and opened as a brewery and pub in 2013. The taproom keeps a couple of dozen house-brewed beers on at a time, ranging from session lagers to bigger seasonal stouts.

The food menu sticks to elevated pub fare — burgers, brats, pretzels, a respectable cheese plate. The interior keeps the original tile work; in good weather the sidewalk tables look straight across to the bathhouses. The most distinct drink in town.

A story
Superior is the only brewery in the world operating inside a US national park — and the only one anywhere brewing with naturally hot mineral spring water. The thermal water is pumped straight into the brewhouse from the springs across the street.
