OUR STORY: AN ODE TO MAHTOMEDI
Since our founding in the 1950s on the shores of White Bear Lake, the historic Dugout has served as the heartbeat of the Mahtomedi community. We’ve evolved from our humble beginnings into a premier gathering spot that bridges the gap between classic Minnesota hospitality and modern entertainment. Whether you're here to catch the big game, enjoy a wide selection of local tap beers, or experience some of the best live music in the St. Croix Valley, our mission remains the same: to create an unforgettable, family-friendly atmosphere where neighbors become friends and every visit feels like coming home.
Our roots, however, run much deeper than our own history. The St. Croix Valley is a land of legends—from the lumber barons who built the "Birthplace of Minnesota" in Stillwater to the notorious Prohibition-era gangsters who used our lakeside hideaways as their personal refuge. While the era of bootleggers and amusement parks like Wildwood has faded into local lore, that same spirit of excitement and legendary character infuses everything we do. Today, we invite you to pull up a seat, soak in the stories of our past, and help us write the next chapter of history here at the Dugout.
