About

The Dakota is a live music venue in Minneapolis and a rare gem in the Twin Cities entertainment scene. One of few establishments to serve a full, chef-driven menu paired with world-class music performances seven nights a week, the Dakota is more than a restaurant and more than a music club; it's where love of great food and great music come together as a seamless duet. In addition to being a nationally recognized Twin Cities live music institution for over 30 years, we offer a full service, critically acclaimed restaurant with special event options available for weddings of all sizes for lunch, dinner, and live entertainment. The Dakota is one of the most unique events spaces in the Twin Cities. Its multi-level design allows for multiple group spaces with varied views of the stage and levels of privacy. The Dakota can accommodate 250 – 350 guests. The mezzanine overlooking the stage in the Club can accomodate 90 standing or 60 seated guests. We have 2 private dining rooms, each holding up to 30 seated guests, while the main dining room can be made private for up to 70 guests.

With a professional Meyer Sound system, full stage, set-lighting, and large screen monitors for presentations, the Dakota is more than able to accommodate whatever event you’re planning. Need a good band for the night? We have a short list of fantastic bands ready to perform!
