5-8 Club
5-8 Club
The 5-8 Club is a well-known restaurant and bar located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Established in 1928, it has become a local institution, famous for its signature dish, the Juicy Lucy, a type of cheeseburger with the cheese inside the meat patty rather than on top. The 5-8 Club is one of the two establishments that claim to have invented the Juicy Lucy, the other being Matt's Bar.
History[edit | edit source]
The 5-8 Club originally started as a speakeasy during the Prohibition era in the United States. It was a place where people could gather to enjoy food and drink in a convivial atmosphere. Over the years, it has evolved into a family-friendly restaurant known for its casual dining experience and classic American fare.
Menu[edit | edit source]
The menu at the 5-8 Club features a variety of American dishes, but it is best known for its Juicy Lucy burgers. These burgers are made by placing a slice of cheese between two ground beef patties, which are then sealed and cooked, resulting in a molten core of cheese. The restaurant offers several variations of the Juicy Lucy, including options with different types of cheese and additional toppings.
Other popular items on the menu include chicken wings, onion rings, and a selection of sandwiches and salads. The 5-8 Club also offers a range of beers and cocktails.
Locations[edit | edit source]
In addition to its original location in Minneapolis, the 5-8 Club has expanded to include several other locations in the Twin Cities area. These additional locations allow more people to enjoy the restaurant's famous Juicy Lucy and other menu items.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
The 5-8 Club has been featured in various media outlets and television shows, including the popular food show Man v. Food. Its rivalry with Matt's Bar over the creation of the Juicy Lucy has become a notable part of Minneapolis's culinary history.
