The vibe

Jax Cafe is one of Minneapolis's most storied institutions — an old-school supper club that has been catching its own fresh trout in an indoor stream since 1933. The landmark Craftsman building and beautiful outdoor garden patio create an irreplaceable atmosphere. The Jax Special (prime rib sandwich + beer) is a Minneapolis rite of passage.
