First Avenue Employee Check-in

Great concert venue if one can stand up during it. Many bars, fun wait staff, and eclectic crowds.

We are fortunate to have 1st Ave booking all of these great venues in town. They do a fantastic job of scheduling the acts in the perfect locations. I look forward to becoming a member this year!

The iconic venue that has drawn so many amazing music artists first and foremost, PRINCE! Concert footage in Purple Rain were shot here. The same location where Prince played before the days of Purple Rain. They give tours check the website. 2 stories of fun and excitement. Good drinks, huge dancefloor and good location. 7th Street Entry is very small in contrast and provides a stage for less established musicians/groups. Highly recommended if you're in MPLS!

Still one of the best places to see a concert. It's a smaller venue so you can see from many angles and from the upper level, MN classic.

This restaurant is cleaner than most places I have visited. The staff made an effort to bring drink orders to patrons in the standing area in front of the stage. The atmosphere was fantastic and I had a great time watching Sofi Tukker perform here.
