Crooners Supper Club is a unique listening environment balancing good times and a reverence for the contributions of musicians and artists!
On The Border of Minneapolis, At The Center of The Twin Cities Music Scene…
Hearkening back to an era when nearly every major American city boasted a popular supper club – when “roadhouses” in the heartland, as they were called, appeared around the bend and a neon sign beckoned — Crooners Supper Club is reinventing the classic American nightclub on the shores of Moore Lake in Fridley, just a stone’s throw from a bustling metropolis called Minneapolis.
After the War especially, when America was in the midst of a Golden Age of television, film and popular music, you got dressed up for dinner, and you looked forward to that date with that special someone, to hear your favorite local singer, or to enjoy the big name celebrity from either Coast, passing through town. Now, as we approach the third decade of the 21st century, only a handful of cities are able to sustain such places. But in the Twin Cities, where live music is part of a thriving arts scene, we endeavor to go much further than your typical cabaret or jazz room.
At Crooners you experience the unrushed, wholesome hospitality of a Midwestern roadhouse; you taste locally sourced delicacies, from prime rib to parmesan-crusted walleye; you savor generously poured cocktails and amply-portioned meals. From the minute you walk in, the romance of candles, the banquettes and ringside tables, and the cordial familiarity of your servers combine to create an irresistible ambiance. No matter who you are or how old, you are made to feel like you belong. And that feeling of welcome continues throughout the evening, even after the show. You are led to the lounge for a drink or dessert, and you notice vintage photographs of the greats from the early jazz and swing eras winking at you from the walls. And sprinkled among them are the faces of local and national greats who have played here recently.
Whatever your occasion, whether it’s for dinner-and-a-show, dinner only, or drinks after work or in our lounge after the show, our hosts, bartenders and servers are ready to help you craft an unforgettable evening. And so we welcome you in a setting where great food, great artistry and warm hospitality abound!
