Brick Oven Pizza & Brew Pub Interior & Exterior Photography

Continental Divide Brew Pub, LLC opened their doors February of 2024 in the center of New York Mills, MN - our hometown! I approached this re-imagined facade pre-opening, which was now totally unrecognizable to me, to document its transformation and I was struck in awe at it’s new appearance. As I walked through the door I entered an entirely new world and was completely blown away by the incredible flip of this historic building. The place I once indulged in the world’s best donuts was now home to a brick oven pizza pub. It almost seemed surreal. Locals and travelers alike now have another place in Mills that offers a comfortable space to eat while gathering in family, friendships and good times.
