How do you get into The Lost Dutchman?
We have not confirmed it. The Lost Dutchman is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at The Lost Dutchman
How the venue describes itself: “The Grant House Hotel Book Now” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: French 75, Clover Club, and Aviation are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Minnesota
Minnesota came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.
