The Dutchman's is being Remodeled To Serve you Better. Please use OTTO DUTCHMAN FACEBOOK
The Dutchman’s was started in 1952 by Otto and Thelka Schmid. It was a small bar and dining room located in what is presently the customer parking lot. A model of the old building (originally called Bayshore Bar) is on display in the front dining room. The infamous storm of March 6 & 7, 1962 took its toll and the present building was built and opened in February 1963. Since then, several additions have been made. The front dining room was an open porch until 1969. The “Upstairs” was also a porch, enclosed in 1976. An expansion to the back section of the kitchen in 1981 and to the upstairs in 1983 enabled us to do private parties, banquets, etc., for up to 125 people.
In 1994, an outside bar (The Quelle) was started and completed for the summer of 1995. The name means a source.
The painting between the bar and dining room is of the Mosel river (From where some of our German wines come from) and shows the towns of Zell and Merl.
The three barrels in the back dining room have painted on them the words “Zum Wohlsein”, which is a toast meaning “To Well Be” or “To Your Health”. “Herzlich Willkommen”, on the front of the building, means a “Heartfelt Welcome”. Most of the steins are quite old and have been collected over the years. Most of the nautical decor in the front dining room came from Mystic Seaport, Conn., and the old Liberty Ships.
The original decor of the upstairs is European and the tables, bar, back bar, and service station are custom made. It also has its own entrance, kitchen, and rest rooms. It is now being enhanced and re-developed by the sons to be a future entertainment spot.
