Dakota: what do users think?

Beau Larson: Great musical guests, great food and terrific ambiance.

Doug Pletcher: .

Tyler Verding: Great food, cool set up, good music, great service. All around a fantastic experience, will be back for sure!

Jay Smelkinson: This was my first time at this venue. It's a very chill place with everyone sitting down to watch the show. The food was good, especially the broccolini. I sat in the upstairs and had a great view of the stage.

Billy Cripe: The music was great. View from the back of the 2nd floor was restricted so be aware of that. They seemed understaffed because service was very slow.

Colin Monette: If you want to experience what every good big city should have at least one of, a great curated jazz club, check the Dakota. The ambiance is dimly lit and cool. Bit of highbrow, classy. It’s dinner and a show and it attracts world class performers alike.

Noby Powell: Great food and music! Intimate venue.

The Terminal Bar: what do users think?

Reya Laing: About a decade ago this place was pretty freaking filthy. Good people. Good music. Just reeeeeally dirty. Laurel, the most recent manager, cleaned it ALL up! It's a wonderful hole-in-the wall dive bar. And it still has good music and good people.Parking: The old Wells Fargo parking lot in the back is free, for now. Very well lit, but unmonitored.Wheelchair accessibility: Yup.

Samuel Brounstein: This friendly, oddballed comedy open mic is still one of the most notorious in town despite its recent purge. At the end of a raucous Thursday the hosts play their hearts out with music.

Renee Jones: My favorite dive bar.The bartenders are great! I usually let my favorite bartender Laurel chose my whiskey for the night. They also have the best gin I've ever had.They have a small Jimmy's menu with delicious pizza and breadsticks. Popcorn and other good dive bar snacks.The schedule has different kinds of events all week. Monday is open mic night for music. Tuesday is Industrial / Dark Synthwave night spun by 2 DJs and music videos on the screens.Thursday is open mic comedy.And Friday and Saturday - local bands from all over the Midwest come play! The sound techs are really great and the crowd is rocking.They have Mrs. Pac-Man, pinball, and darts as well.Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza

mickey m.: Best dive in the cities, favorite comedy open mic by far, the other mics just don't compare. CASH ONLY BAR!! just remember that before you go!Parking: The closed Wells Fargo lot is available

Heather O'Neil: Great place! Super friendly and charming

First Avenue: what do users think?

Danielle P: This was a drive by visit, and I took a few pics... would love one day to actually go to a concert at this location. First Avenue is Minneapolis' historic nightclub, made famous by Prince's Purple Rain shot in 1983.First Avenue opened in a former Greyhound Bus terminal in downtown Minneapolis on April 3, 1970. Originally called The Depot, the club brought in prominent national acts. Prince often performed at First Avenue along with other popular artist.Don't forget to see the gold Prince star on the outside of building. Silver stars commemorated key artists who had played at First Avenue. Prince Rogers Nelson died of on April 21, 2016. Its worth a stop if you get a chance to visit Minneapolis.

The menu has tons of great options, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was prompt and welcoming.Went back for a 2nd time and had the cobbler's pie. Also delicious and our service was great.

Palmer's Bar: what do users think?

Brian Wene: Palmer's is a great place for live music because from anywhere in the bar you can easily see the band onstage. Drinks are not terribly expensive and the bartenders are very nice and the live music is always great! I highly suggest giving Palmer's Bar a visit. You will not be disappointed and you will be planning your return.Enjoy!Dietary restrictions: Items fitting certain dietary restrictions are available.Kid-friendliness: All ages events are common here.Wheelchair accessibility: The bar is accessible to those in a wheelchair.

Nick Hook: Palmers Bar consistently manifests that rare mix of high-end, quality ingredients, creative mixology, attentive, knowledgeable wait staff and quietly-upscale atmosphere. All these elements work together seamlessly to ensure each Palmers patron's experience is an understated, singular joy.Vegetarian options: Panko-encrusted yam brisketKid-friendliness: The ball pit was hygenic and fun!!

Bill Marshall: In a really bad area DON'T GO AT NIGHT UNLESS YOU WANT GET ROBBED WHICH IS A GOOD CHANCE IT'S A NO-GO ZONE IF YOU'RE SMART 🤓

Damon Clare: It's a vibe

Drake Friesen: Great local music spot!

d Davis: A bar like PALMERS represents what a bar/tavern should be like. All sorts of characters come and go. A teacher, a parent, students, retirees, blue collar folks, criminals, republicans, future criminals, democrats, alcoholics, recovering this or thats, white, black, brown and other. It’s about sipping a drink and talking with whom ever is on a barstool close by. Sharing stories and learning some stuff and most likely you’ll have another just to stay a little longer. A lively patio out back that gets more interesting into the night. Eclectic and diverse live music all year round. I won’t call it a dive bar and it’s not quite a club if anything people come here cause they need a little piece of love.

Wilebski's Blues Saloon: what do users think?

Mark Plotnick: Got a great table with friends, squeezed in and enjoyed a variety of blues and a bit of dancing.

Kim E: Fabulous!!

Michele Hamersma: Great acoustics and bands booked by owners.

Rae Frame: Door is in the back, if you hit the Popeyes then you’ve gone too far. Absolute gem of a bar with easy bites, friendly staff, and spectacular live music.

Earl McLain: I went with friends to see the Jimmy's. It was my first time there. If you want a server, go somewhere else. But if you're looking for an awesome venue with great music, you'll love this place. It packs up quickly, so plan on getting there early and grab a burger.

Kevin/Pam Kittridge: The Jimmy's were great.

Jan benoit: Haven't been in there in years but it was a great time watching Lamont Cranston, definitely will be going back

Brooke Klausen: Excwl

J Fitzgerald: This place is amazing! It's like an old school roadhouse with really cool murals all over. It's a little run down and not the cleanest bar but that is part of its charm. The Open Blues Jam every Tuesday attracts some fantastic musicians and plenty of people swing dancing on the huge dance floor. You don't see folks getting down like that anywhere else in the Twin Cities!

Jaque Luna: Better known as “El Cancún”. Latin bar most frequented by Mexicans mainly, and therefore they play a lot of regional Mexican music, the DJs do a good job and mix other contemporary musical genres as well. The main track is somewhat small.🗣️ Spanish/English.Parking is a bit limited, so you have to arrive at a good time to avoid having to deal with it.

TaNia S: 😍😍

Abigail Erickson: Only the best vibes. Tuesday night jam band is so fun, the dance scene is immaculate.

Bernard Thames: Very nice 👌

Amy H.: Absolutely loved it!

The Cedar Cultural Center: what do users think?

Fred Reininger: I've learned to love smaller concert venues. This would be one of them. The sound quality is always better and you're not stuck in a massive crowd. It was quite a while back but I got to see The Church perform here. I've been to many of their shows. But the high point of show was running into the band and having a cigarette with them outside. Love the smaller venues. Parking with a bit of a hassle but it was well worth it.

Nancy Spooner-Walsh: Wonderful venue. Parking makes me nervous as a female.

Dawn McDonald: Great musical. Loved it! George Meiles is such a a creative artist!

Mackenzie Lageson: .In my relatively brief time in Minneapolis, the Cedar has come to represent something beautiful in my life. A venue that feels somewhat like a holy place, and a regular source of inspiration.

Tony Gawarecki: Saw alash. Tuvan throat singing. Amazing performance. 10/10.

Karen Folman: A wonderful venue with a captivated audience and a wide variety of local and traveling artists. We never walk away disappointed.

K Swanson-Wikelius (piranhaofsteel): Went to support a friend with the Prairie Fire Ladies Choir for their last show of the year. I'd never been to this place before, but everyone was friendly and the show was great!

Alecia Sullivan: What a cool little venue. You can get up close and personal with your favorite artist. It is very cozy and has limited seating.

Randy Anderson: Fun and awesome

Devon: Very cute intimate vibes. Reeked of weed but I'm sure that depends on the show that night...

Alexis Johnson: I had the honor of seeing powfu, my favorite new artist, here last Monday. It's a small venue so everybody gets to be close to the stage. Being so close to my favorite artist was such a cool experience. They have a little bar in the back, along with some places to sit. I would highly recommend this venue if an artist you like is performing here.

Will Mische: Wow. Great little venue to get 20 dollar Tix and chill.

Michael Hayden: Great space for a good time and a great tasting smooth moving eccentric crowd Staff & menu so I wil be returning soon...MahaloVery Enjoyable and Affordable@¿@

Shawn Johnson: It was a really nice venue for underground trap rap. Great view and comfy size. Doesn't get over packed.

Brittany: Great intimate venue to catch some smaller artists.

Allissa Anderson: Small intimate venue. front row experience from any spot in the venue

Jenn Jones: Intimate venue perfect for seeing any artist up close and personal. Places to sit and a dance floor. Bar inside. Great beer selection. Great sound quality. Restaurant next door makes for an easy date night.

Bradley Service: this venue is a cozy classic.

Noah Raisanen: Super fun little venue. It's got the First Ave quality of service, sound, security, but the feeling of a house show.

Crooners Lounge and Supper Club: what do users think?

Cammie Wadman Baca: Best venue and food was great! Go to Maggie's Lounge for dinner and piano bar, no reservations and full menu choice...good entertainment.

DD C: Was there for the music and not really the food.

Pam Lawrence: 👌🏾 Fabulous

Elisa Lobo Neese: We had great fun coming here for the first time. Diego Figueiredo, the Brazilian acoustic guitar master had a marvelous solo concert. He’s so talented!We ordered the French dip and the Grain& Greens salad. Both were good as was the service.

Jennifer Cole: Absolutely loved the show. We will be back.

Linda McLoon: It is hard to write a review of a jazz club. Live music is almost always fun, and I like jazz. The main woman was very good. In fact, all the live music I have heard here was good and fun. So this place is great on the music.The food is typical supper club middle America. That is not necessarily bad, as some of it, like the beef sliders, is very good. The rest is fine. The cocktails on their menu are all way, way too sweet. Order your own or do what I did, and have some bubbly. The cheesecake was fine, smooth and rich. The carrot cake was not to my taste, as it was dry, the frosting way too sweet, and the clove flavor was too strong. So, the food is uneven. The service was great, very attentive.So a 5 for music, a 3 for food. We always go with friends, and that makes any evening out fun!They have a large parking lot, which is nice.

Wayne Egger: Excellent talent, food & atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

Karie Merkwan: Great service, excellent food, and wonderful music!

Nicole Warolin: Great place to see a show, and wonderful food!

Linda Rooney: Food, drinks and service fantastic!! Music spectacular!

Cathy J: Love this place!!!!

Jeremy Baker: , it sounds like a great place to play as a musician. Gotta check it out!
