Last Turn Saloon

Step into yesteryear at Brainerd’s Last Turn Saloon. Established in 1894, we’ve been a favorite of patrons spanning several generations. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a meal with family or a drink with friends, The Last Turn Saloon is the place to go.

Everything you see in the saloon has been handcrafted by Minnesota craftsmen and artisans, from the stained-glass chandeliers to the tables and chairs. Even our fully-stocked back bar is an antique, built in the 1870s from solid oak. Stop in tonight and find out why we’ve been a local favorite for over a century!
