About Business

The place to be since ’33.


Listen to owner Jesse Eide talk about the history, and future, of Moonlite Bay in Episode #10 of the Pubcast Live podcast.


It was 1933, Prohibition was over and it was time to have some fun in Crosslake. Carl Holt built and opened the original dance hall and a few rental cabins known as the Moonlite Bay Resort. Moonlite has seen many changes over the years and it has all gone up in smoke a couple times, but the spirit of Moonlite Bay never seemed to change. We have always been and continue to be a place for good times and fun by the lake. With 70 boat slips and snowmobile trails coming from 4 different directions, getting here is never a problem.


We are more than just a restaurant & bar. We love the community that we are in, whether it’s the Ice Tee Open to benefit Camp Knutson, the Evening for Education that helps to support Crosslake Community School, the Lions Club Fishing Contest, planning Winterfest weekend or working with the PAL foundation on the Whitefish Warrior run, we always seem to find a fun way to support the “Beauty spot of Minnesota”


So when you’re ready to break away from it all and blow off a little steam, make it Moonlite Bay, a place where good friends meet and old friends reunite. The place to be since ’33.
