2025 Centurion Award winner

Awarded against five published criteria, checked on public evidence.

5-8 Club

Best Juicy Lucy in 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.
