Back [in the 1930's], Shakopee was nicknamed Little Chicago. Former journalist Rufus Jarman once wrote in the Saturday Evening Post that Little Chicago was “where residents of Minneapolis and St. Paul used to go for their Sunday cocktails, which they couldn’t buy at home, and to dine at one of several restaurants that featured thick steaks and slot machines.” So it was only fitting that Canterbury Park’s new fine dining restaurant would be modeled after a speakeasy, with black table cloths, old-fashioned decor, dark wooden tables and thick steaks.
