Why We Love Coalition
Coalition opened in 2014 in a historic building on Water Street and has been a downtown favorite ever since. The look is modern rustic, with exposed brick and wood, and the menu is eclectic, seasonal and locally sourced.
It’s a great choice for a date night or weekend brunch. Grab a table outside on nice weekends for prime people-watching.
What to Order
🌮 Korean Tacos
Marinated beef, kimchi, sour cream and cilantro.
🐟 Parmesan Walleye
Served over pesto linguini with cherry tomato and pistachio.
🍔 Coalition Burger

Know before you go: The room is cozy and can feel tight at peak times, so reserve ahead. Street parking is available.
