2025 Centurion Award winner

5-8 Club

Best Juicy Lucy in Minneapolis · Minneapolis, MN

Restaurant · Minneapolis, MN · Since 1928

The overview

A speakeasy turned burger shrine

The 5-8 Club opened as a Prohibition-era speakeasy in 1928 and is one of two Minneapolis taverns that claim to have invented the Juicy Lucy — a cheeseburger with the cheese sealed molten inside two patties. Order one with American, blue, pepper jack, or Swiss and let it cool before the first bite.

A South Minneapolis burger-and-beer institution, the 5-8 has been named among the country's best burger stops and remains a proudly unpretentious neighborhood classic.

A signal you can check.

This page is the standing record for 5-8 Club (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
