Downtown Jack Rose Social Club Wrapping Up Construction On Custom Space
A new and unique addition to The Steel District‘s food and beverage scene is set to open this month.
Lloyd Construction is wrapping up work on Jack Rose Social Club, a nearly 6,400-square foot space including two patios.
“Everything in there is custom,” project manager Austin Smit said. “There’s hardly any drywall on the walls. There are many different finishes making this space unique. And ties into the other restaurants at The Steel District with distinctive higher-end finishes.”
Steel itself served as inspiration for much of the design, with “a lot of steel cabinetry and casework,” Smit said. “The bar structure is a total steel structure that’s hung from above and was custom built. There’s nothing in here you can go buy off the shelf.”
A large cloud-like system from the Twin Cities serves as a hanging feature from the ceiling with lights in it.
“And there are faux beams that wrap around,” Smit continued. “We have whiskey barrels hanging from the ceiling. So it was fun to make it all work.”
The two patios will include fire pits, plus the interior bar has a window that opens to the outside.
“So they have countertops on the outside for seating at the bar,” Smit said. “It’s just a pretty unique space for the area. It’s one of the highest-value projects we’ve done because of the finishes.”
The restaurant, which includes multiple casino spaces, was a considerable investment.
“It’s a good, different vibe with a lot of aesthetics,” said Vinnie Olson, regional manager for owner Commonwealth Group. “We hope we’re viewed as the local guys down here at The Steel District. It’s more of a bar than a restaurant, but it’s still a very nice menu and I think we’ll have variety that separates us from a lot of things down here.”
Lloyd Construction “has done a wonderful job” on the buildout,” he said. “They’ve got the experience with The Steel District and it’s gone very well. Once we started hitting the dirt it went quickly.”
The plan is to open later this month.
Lloyd Construction also completed buildouts for the building’s other two retail tenants, Alcove and Pasque Boutique.
Throughout the buildouts, the construction team managed the site understanding people also live and work nearby.
“We gated off work areas and adjusted working hours for noise when residents likely would be sleeping,” Smit said. “It definitely can be a challenge working in a downtown area and in a mixed-use building, but we communicated closely with the property manager and managed through it so it worked for everyone.”
