Great sound, excellent service. The staff is most friendly and welcoming.

Visited the place on 11/1/25 for a Beatles songs concert. The design of the place was somewhat unique requiring various tv screens.
The dinner crowd was noisy and chatty resulting in not enjoyable concert.

My favorite live music venue! Dakota is an intimate space with comfortable amenities. I never hesitate to see artists in this space.

LOVE this place! Visiting from the east coast and decided to check out this club since it was where Prince has played and frequented. The absolutely terrific saxophonist, Kenni Holmen, who also played and toured with Prince gave an AMAZING concert! What an extraordinary musician! The vibe in this club is so cool and chill and the food was delicious. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our last evening in Minneapolis! Highly recommend!

The Dakota has the best sound of any small music venue I have experienced in the Twin Cities. The food is also delicious.

Had an underwhelming experience. The venue seems too large for a jazz club to me. I was expecting to feel the music not watch it on a screen because I was so far from the stage. My food wasn't great either, the roe was overpowering in the deviled eggs and my grits were undercooked in my shrimp and grits. That being said the drinks were good and the place has a good vibe and great staff. I might have enjoyed my visit more with a different artist but I'm not sure I'd go back again.

Always a pleasure to come to the Dakota for fine dining and great music!
Very disappointed. Paid for a meet & greet then later they called me to tell me I had to pay for a concert. Very disappointing especially since I need all the money I can save for my mom who is literally entering hospice tomorrow

From the moment I walked into the Dakota Jazz Club, I was completely taken by the ambiance—intimate, warm, and full of character. The lighting, the decor, and the energy in the room set the perfect tone for a night of live music. The music itself? Absolutely phenomenal! And let’s not forget the food—truly excellent. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, complementing the evening perfectly without stealing the spotlight from the music. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking for a special night out, the Dakota delivers on every level. I’ll definitely be back.
