We came for our first time to Dakota Jazz Club for my husband's 42nd Birthday. The scenery was beautiful and the sounds of Jazz in the background were soothing. We came for dinner and Hannah was our server. She was Awesome. Such a sweetheart. She even sung Happy Birthday with me to my husband. She deserves her own 's !!! I hope she working when we return. Our food was just the right spicy and flavorful tastes. My husband really enjoyed the Hen dinner and his top shelf Long Island. I had the Sausage and Shrimp dish. You have a lovely venue and we shall return again very soon, but next time for a show and dinner. Lovely and friendly staff, great music and tasty food.

Here's another 's Dakota !!!

They cancelled a performance without refunding the ticket holders for those shows. I purchased tickets from the Dakota seven months in advance of a show. COVID hit, and they begun issuing emails saying they would reschedule shows or provide refunds. I have contacted them a dozen times and they have never even responded to me. The money I lost to a disappearing show would help my family a lot right now

A cozy, well thought out music venue with full bar and seating, and a full menu. Come see local and well know jazz acts and singers. Can easily make this a date night or fun group outing for something different to do in Downtown Minneapolis. Offers a large selection of wine, spirits and beers. Food menu isn't large but to be expected but quality is good and there are choices for dessert as well.

We watched the Bad Plus here on Christmas and had a great time. You can order food and drinks here to enjoy while you listen to live music. Personally, I prefer the center balcony seats because you can easily see the whole stage.

Classy jazz club in downtown Minneapolis. The food is just as good as the music. Prince played here 3 nights in a row back in 2013. I attended night 2, both shows! Prince would also attend concerts here in his free time. He sat a few tables from me at a Larry Graham show and he walked right in front of me on his way upstairs during a Victor Wooten show. I love this place.

Incredibly intimate atmosphere to enjoy music. The service and food were exemplary.
Just be aware when purchasing tickets that if you are a party of two you may be seated at a table with another party of two.

We have been to this venue several times. Very classy upscale spot. The set up can be crammed sometimes but the intimacy makes for a better live show in my opinion. We recently saw rahsaan patterson here. Great show...the prices are not bad and they have a full food menu. This place us great for a date night. The pictures will be of the outside of the venue that I post and in the daytime...just to give you an idea of where it. Is at downtown mpls.

I've been here on a couple different occasions. Once for a conference after party, more for networking and another time to enjoy dinner and Paris Chansons. The food is amazing and I would definitely come back just for the music and vibe.

Got to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy in a near perfect venue. Dinner was lovely. Cocktails were strong. Service was considerate and attentive.

In the ensuing meet and greet with members of the band, my 14 year old got some sage advice. "Wear a suit. Women love a man in a suit. They're also a lot more forgiving when you're wearing a suit." I salute these legends.
