JL Beers & Laughing Sun Brewing Open

Two long-awaited businesses are now open in downtown Bismarck.

Fargo-based JL Beers has opened 217 N 3rd Street, inside the former Bain Agency building. The restaurant is known for its large selection of tap beer, offering a reported 40 different choices. They also offer in-house made potato chips to go along with your burger and beer.

Another interesting fact about JL Beers, which also has locations in West Fargo, Moorhead, Grand Forks, and Sioux Falls, in addition to Bismarck and Fargo, is its limited seating capacity. Its slogan embraces this unique attribute… “Seating for 1000, 47 at a time.”

Bismarck now has another option for locally-brewed beer. Laughing Sun Brewing has opened its doors at 107 N 5th Street. Laughing Sun will offer 3 to 6 locally brewed beers on tap at any given time. Lucky Ducks Deli, another recent newcomer, will cater to Laughing Sun patrons.
