The Dakota is Minneapolis's premier jazz venue — a world-class music club and restaurant that has hosted everyone from Wynton Marsalis to Norah Jones. The supper club atmosphere, elevated comfort food from a talented kitchen team, and nightly live music programming make it one of the city's most culturally rich happy hour destinations.
