Jax Café

Truly a family legacy, the roots of Jax Café run deep, beginning in 1910 when great-grandfather Stanley Kozlak built the business on the corner of 20th and University Avenue. When prohibition ended in 1933, a liquor license was obtained and Jax Bar and Café was born- in the very part of the building the main bar lives today.

Today the rich history of Jax Café has served the families of Northeast Minneapolis faithfully for 75 years. Bill Kozlak, Jr. follows in his father and grandfather¹s footsteps by preserving the rich tradition of Jax café while continuing the promise of uncompromised service. Rich with an ambience of nostalgia and heritage, Jax Café impresses with the best ingredients, immaculate preparation and the heart of a dining experience crafted through three generations.
