The Surfside Supper Club/Restaurant, Lounge & Entertainment Center was located on Cook’s Bay, Lake Minnetonka, Mound.   Directions at first were 1 mile south of Mound on Country Road 110.  Eventually it attained the street address of 2670 Commerce Blvd.

The first we see it mentioned in the Strib is 1965.

On April 28, 1967, Will Jones wrote this in his column in the Tribune:

The Dick Maw-Charlie Clarke orchestra, all 14 pieces, now appears each Sunday evening 6:30 to 10:30, at the Surfside Supper Club in Mound.  The dance floor overlooks Lake Minetonka, and dancing is encouraged.   The band features arrangements of the Ellington-Basie genre, bit it also it also offers some big-band rock productions to appeal to the younger crowd.   a smaller crowed from the band, five instrumentalists plus vocalist Carol Simon, will be featured Friday and Saturday nights starts starting May 5 and 6.

1971:  The Zazz-Rock Sounds of Blue-Rokk Band (is that a typo or is there such a thing as Zazz Rock?).  Also guitar sing-a-long.

Minneapolis Star, May 27, 1971

In 1973 folk group Easy Pickin’s performed on the Main Deck, and entertainers on the Top Side included Coal Duck, Brave New World, and Sinaloa. (or is that a bad spelling of Shangoya?)

In January 1974 Dale Thomton brought his own “vocal and 12 string guitar stylings to country-folk-rock as well as tunes from the ’50s and proved to be quite a balladeer with an original song.”

Surf was apparently up in May 1984.  That address now computes to a condo, built in 1985.
