612 Front St. THEN & NOW The Blue Oyster

​Then & Now: Honoring the Grandelmyer Block at 612 Front Street

​Walk through downtown Brainerd, and you’re walking through over a century of bold ambition. At 612 Front Street, the historic Grandelmyer Block has anchored this block through eras of railroad growth, downtown evolution, and community life. Built by Charles B. Rowley—the same craftsman behind landmark Brainerd structures like the Park Opera House and the Carnegie Library—this address carries serious local heritage.

​Today, that legacy lives on under our roof at Blue Oyster.

​We believe great dining is about more than just food and drinks; it’s about place, connection, and honoring the roots beneath our feet. Every time you join us for dinner, drinks at the bar, or an evening out with friends, you’re adding your voice to a story that started over a century ago.
​Next time you visit, take a moment to look at the storefront, think back on the early days of Front Street, and raise a glass to keeping downtown vibrant.

​🍴 Join us at 612 Front Street in historic downtown Brainerd.
