Our Story

Serving you good food, good friends and good times.

Jacko’s Corner is a small plates kitchen, bar, and social space founded by a group of passionate, community-focused Salem locals. We all have the same goal of creating a new spot to enjoy great food, wine, and beer in a chic and friendly setting.

Jacko’s Corner was originally founded in 1919 by Jacko Tomasi as a candy store and ice cream parlor. Situated prominently at the corner where Main Street intersects with West Broadway in Salem, NY, Jacko’s is and always has been so much more than just a store. It is a fixture in the community; a beloved gathering place for all ages.

We are excited to bring Salem the next iteration of Jacko’s. Inspired by Tomasi’s love for the community, we’re honoring its roots with a modern twist.
