D Mikes Resort & Grill - Alexandria, MN

D Mikes Resort & Grill - Alexandria, MN

This special venue is the definition of atmosphere. First time visitors often pause at the entrance, enticed by the play of light and shadow that adds an air of mystery to the newly opened D Mikes. A continuation of a theme started by its predecessor, D. Michael B's, much of the intriguing interior remains unchanged, paying enduring homage to the man who started this local gathering place for thirsty locals to enjoy live music, good food, and a memorable experience, either for a casual lunch or a Saturday night out on the town.

Design

Subtlety is most effective when it incorporates all elements, from the way the light reacts to the tones of the furniture to the contrast of illumination and shadow that provides accent directly where needed. It’s in this delicate balance that a space can evoke emotion, guiding the observer’s eye without overwhelming the senses, creating an atmosphere that feels both intentional and effortless. This is especially true in settings where tradition meets modern design, as seen in this venue's striking blend of rustic charm and contemporary flair.

It's as if a hunting lodge was taken over by a contemporary design team, transforming the traditional flagstone pillars into light-absorbent shades of smooth modern greyish green. Yet tradition looms large, with the obligatory bear skin mounted on the wall and opulent baroque chandeliers casting a glow over a stack of wood that extends from the natural plank floors to the 20-foot vaulted ceiling. Expertly placed spotlights bring everything to life—from fish to mallets—seemingly emerging from the shadows, as if suspended in time.

12-Channel Booth

The placement of this piece among its striking accompanying elements is a testament to design brilliance. Beyond simply offering the privacy typical of booth seating, D Mike's has crafted a distinctive haven for larger parties—a space that feels both unique and inviting, enveloped in pools of shadow that enhance its intimate charm.

Crafted from durable solid wood with premium foam padding, this booth will withstand heavy daily use in any restaurant environment. With a diverse choice of varying heights, lengths, shapes, and with a range of mix and match commercial-grade vinyl or fabric on the seat and back, there isn’t a design style in which this American made masterpiece wouldn’t be at home.

Solid Wood Plank Table Top

The thick and durable presence of solid natural wood makes a statement in any setting, and does so perfectly at D Mike's. These premium tops add a touch of warmth and authenticity, grounding the space with their rich, organic textures. They’re more than just surfaces—they’re a part of the story the restaurant tells, where every grain and knot contributes to the inviting, down-to-earth atmosphere that makes D Mike's feel like home.
