Client Spotlight: The Cabana Club – A Journey from Dream to Destination

At Rebel Road Solutions, I’m proud to work with clients who inspire and drive change in their industries. One such client is The Cabana Club, a vibrant, travel-inspired restaurant in the heart of St. Anthony Main, Minneapolis.

Founded by three seasoned restaurant professionals—Krista Johnson, Charlie Gibbs, and Jay Viskocil—The Cabana Club reflects their deep passion, dedication, and entrepreneurial spirit.

With years of experience in serving, bartending, cooking, and restaurant management, Krista, Charlie, and Jay were well-equipped to launch their own restaurant. However, the journey to bringing The Cabana Club to life was no small feat. It required careful planning, innovative thinking, and a commitment to turning their dream into a reality.

The restaurant’s menu is a celebration of global flavors, drawing inspiration from the trio’s extensive travel experiences. From dishes like duck confit bánh mì to a comforting American smash burger, each plate at The Cabana Club offers a unique culinary adventure. The cocktail list is equally impressive, with drinks inspired by tiki culture and far-flung destinations like Oaxaca and Lebanon.

What truly sets The Cabana Club apart is its commitment to quality, service, and creating a welcoming environment where guests can feel like they’ve taken a mini vacation. The space itself reflects this ethos, with tropical plants and a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re enjoying a casual bite or sipping on a craft cocktail, The Cabana Club offers an experience that feels like an escape.

Krista, Charlie, and Jay’s entrepreneurial spirit and grit have made The Cabana Club not just a restaurant, but a destination in its own right. It’s been inspiring to watch their hard work and vision come to fruition, and their success is a true testament to their dedication to their craft and the community.

If you haven’t yet had the chance to visit, The Cabana Club is a must-see spot for anyone looking to indulge in great food, unique cocktails, and a truly memorable experience.
