  • Might go back for the right band
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/06/08
    The drinks were over priced, we were lucky and had a waitress as we had a table with no chairs, someplace to stand. The staff in general were okay,
    somewhat rude at times, went out to have a smoke and was rudly told I came in through the wrong door, of course there was no markings on the door to indicate this! During the concert our table was in ...

  • Very accommadating
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/08/08
    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 ...

  • Boo
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/16/08
    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.

  • Better Years Ago
    By Brando, 05/29/08
    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. ...

  • Don't waste your time
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/30/05
    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
