Duluth's Radisson hotel pivots from supper club to family-friendly restaurant

The Duluth outpost of Brian Ingram's 1960s-era Palm Springs-inspired restaurant has closed after a yearlong run in the rotating top of the Radisson Hotel Duluth-Harborview. Replacing Apostle Supper Club is Harbor 360, described as a family-friendly, fast-casual restaurant.

A representative for Radisson said the new restaurant will keep much of the swinging '60s color scheme, but change from full service to QR-code ordering. Menu prices will range from $10 to $25. Board games will be set out for guests to linger and enjoy the views.

"We are bidding farewell to the memorable pop-up appearance of our Apostle Supper Club," Ingram said.

The restaurant, at 505 W. Superior St., opened in May 2022 with a menu of steaks, deviled eggs and frozen blender drinks that were callbacks to the polyester age. Ingram, who owns Purpose Restaurants with his wife, Sarah, said he knew the restaurant would likely have a short run — they had a one-year agreement with the Radisson.

When the hotel first opened in 1970, its rotating restaurant was a jewel in the region and a fine-dining destination. Generations of diners would enjoy the 72-minute, 360-degree circuit that provides breathtaking views of Hillside, Enger Tower, the Aerial Lift Bridge, Central School and Lakeside. It's a visual, slow-moving feast of the Zenith City.

As for the Ingrams, their Purpose Restaurants just opened a new Hope Breakfast Bar in Eagan and its downtown St. Paul Apostle Supper Club remains an ode to a bygone era.
