Jay's Longhorn Bar, Punk rock music venue in Minneapolis, United States.
Located in downtown Minneapolis, Jay's Longhorn Bar featured a long counter and low ceiling, making it suitable for intimate performances and concerts.
Opening on June 1, 1977, Jay's Longhorn Bar quickly established itself as Minnesota's primary stage for punk, new wave, and alternative rock bands until 1980.
The venue hosted early performances of numerous influential bands, including The Police, Blondie, Talking Heads, and local groups like Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.
The former music venue building now functions as a storage facility for Xcel Energy, with no remaining traces of its musical past.
Peter Jesperson, who worked as the house DJ at Jay's Longhorn, later co-founded Twin/Tone Records and managed The Replacements to national recognition.
