From the moment we were let in the doors, we were treated the best I have ever been treated in any establishment. I had been corresponding with a manager at 1st. Ave. because I am disabled. I needed a place to sit with my wheel chair. We reserved a table upstairs and before I knew what was happening there were 5-6 male staff members standing ...

My 21st birthday is in three days and a bouncer saw me take a sip of beer 10 minutes before the opening band. He grabbed my arm and kicked me out of the place like I was a felon. It must have made him feel great that he could flex his authority over someone, who so badly wanted to be there. Will I go back? Only for the music. The staff and atmosphere have little to offer.

I use to frequent this place 10-15 years ago. Good music, good environment, and back then it was one of the only places you could really go in Downtown Minneapolis. The club has changed hands and management so much that you never really know what the place is going to be like the next time you want to dance, hear music, or catch a performance. ...

the place is great to rock ?and it's what makes downtown so cool.and atracts people to vist downtown.it has a great vib of locals, great to go on dates to. great to hang out with friends?

theirs not a lot of room for concerts and it feel like your dont have eough room when you have a lot of people.

all in all it's good the best ?

Thank God - feels like the big city. this is not your average minnesotan suburban hang out- you couldn't turn it into a chain if you wanted-
wonderful!

yah, it really is, the atmosphere is fantastic, the sound value is superb and the acts you get in there you would normaly excpect to see at a concert hall or stadium, great music ina close venue, whats not to love.

It isn't nearly as hip as it used to be. I was unimpressed at how damp and creepy it was last time I was there. If you are going for a show-ok. If you are going to go dance at the end of the night. Please look elsewhere. All I can say is....bad, bad, bad

Minneapolis, MN if known for anything should be known by music lovers as the home of many of our nations great artists. And many of them have had thier start playing for years at First Avenue. Soul Asylum, Husker Du, Bob Mould, The Replacements, Paul Westerburg, The Honey Dogs, The Jayhawks and Prince of course! And those are just the Minnesota ...

This place is one that you will not forget! With the differant kind of atmosphere it makes it feel like a real vacation. I travel the six hour trip JUST to go there!
