AMAZING STAFF! GREAT SOUND! GREAT VIBE!

Great experience at showcasing our talent at The Dakota Tavern. Highly recommend this venue

Great bar with a nice small stage. The bathrooms are clean, staff is kind and sharp, and the bar itself is nice and long.

If there’s a better place for an up close and personal live music experience then number 2 or 3 on your list sure is a great place to be.

I sure enjoyed my time there for the Bad Fortunes.
