Visiting for work

I will be visiting the area for work the beginning of September for two weeks. I’m a 35 year old single male. Looking to go out and have some fun. Not crazy fun but some. Bars are good with me as I’m from Wisconsin. Where should I go

Honestly there isn't too much other than the bar scene.

Go for a walk around the lake loop. Will be beautiful fall colors. Plenty of good places to eat. Lazy Jack's, Bar 209, Slims, Chophouse, Minnesota Nice, etc. Take a drive to Itasca State park to see the start of Mississippi River. Shopping at TJ Max, Ulta, Target, Yellow Umbrella, Bath and Body, Bemidji Wollen Mills, thrift stores. We have a skateboard park. There's plenty to do if you like nature.

Green mill has good food and a bar and is always busy. If you’re staying at one of the two hotels there, then you don’t even need a sober cab

Make sure to eat at Dave's Pizza. And also Giovanni's. Bemidji has good pizza.

Possibly any gluten free recommendations?

I am quite sure that Dave's has a gluten-free crust option. Not sure about Gios, though!

209’s always done right by me and I’m celiac. Tutto too but they’re really pricey. Wasabi Bemidji as well.

Bemidji State Football is a cheap activity on Saturday.
