Dos Guys LIVE: Thirsty Thursday Cruise on Pelican Lake

On a warm summer evening at Pelican Lake near Breezy Point, Minnesota, Dos Guys LIVE on the Belle for Thirsty Thursday invites sun-seekers and music lovers aboard a two-hour lakeside cruise that feels equal parts backyard block party and classic rock concert. The launch point is Dockside Restaurant, 9252 Breezy Point Dr, Breezy Point MN 56472, where guests step from the dock onto a low-slung cruise vessel and settle in for an easygoing circuit of Pelican’s shoreline. Pelican Lake is a clean, glacial lake ringed by pines and rocky points; its clear water reflects long sunset skies and is home to common loons, osprey, and the occasional bald eagle. That landscape is the stage for Dos Guys, a duo that spins hits from the last 50 years—Aerosmith to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin to Steely Dan—and keeps the banter rolling between songs. The result is a playlist built for singalongs and laughter, where the band’s interaction with passengers becomes part of the show. The cruise lasts two hours and is deliberately unpretentious: grilled dogs and brats on board, friendly crowd energy, and music loud enough to dance if the deck allows. It’s especially appealing to mixed groups—families, couples, and friends—because it combines accessible live music with lake scenery that’s quintessential central Minnesota. For first-time visitors to the Brainerd Lakes area, this outing provides an immediate, memorable sense of place without the planning fuss of larger festivals. Why this trip stands out: small-boat intimacy, the chemistry of a seasoned duo, and the way Pelican Lake’s shoreline frames the evening—rocky points, cedar and white pine, and long vistas toward low ridges beyond the lake. Photography opportunities include golden-hour reflections and candid crowd moments; wildlife sightings add another layer of local color. Practical notes: arrive at Dockside Restaurant for check-in; the cruise runs roughly two hours and is best in calm weather. Bring a light layer against lake breezes, shoes with traction for the gangway, and a camera. The vibe is informal and welcoming, and the combination of live music plus a lakeside grill makes Thirsty Thursday with Dos Guys a seasonal highlight that captures the relaxed, music-loving spirit of Breezy Point. Expect easy boarding from the restaurant dockside platform; arrive twenty to thirty minutes early to find parking, claim prime seating. Conversations drift to the waterline while guests tap toes or sway by the rail and servers pass plates of grilled fare. The duo’s song selection favors crowd-pleasers, so casual listeners find themselves singing along. If weather turns, the boat offers partial shelter and the crew will adapt the route for comfort. Visitors making a weekend of it will find Breezy Point cabins and resorts minutes away, so this cruise is an evening highlight.
