As a music lover and frequent concert-goer, I can confidently say that First Avenue is one of the best music venues in the world. Located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, this legendary spot has been hosting incredible live shows for over 50 years. With its iconic star-covered exterior and spacious dance floor, First Avenue is a must-visit destination for any music lover. One of the most impressive things about First Avenue is the long list of legendary acts that have graced its stage over the years. From Prince and Nirvana to Lizzo and Atmosphere, this venue has hosted some of the biggest names in music. Other notable performers include The Replacements, Low, Nine Inch Nails, The Chemical Brothers, Cypress Hill, The Jayhawks, A Tribe Called Quest, Pavement, Alice Cooper, The Beastie Boys, Björk, David Byrne, Elliott Smith, Erykah Badu, James Brown, Joe Cocker, Hüsker Dü, The Fugees, Paul Simon, Iggy Pop, OutKast, and Pearl Jam. One of my personal favorite shows at First Avenue was Radiohead in 1997, just as the band was becoming famous. The energy in the room was electric, and the Thom’s performance was truly unforgettable. I've also seen Busta Rhymes, Lords of Acid, Weyes Blood and dozens of other shows at this venue that have changed my life. The staff at First Avenue are always friendly and professional, and the sound quality is top-notch. If you're looking for a truly unique and unforgettable music experience, I highly recommend checking out First Avenue. Whether you're a die-hard fan of a specific band or just looking for a fun night out, this venue has something for everyone. From the incredible history to the unforgettable live shows, First Avenue is a must experience in the world of music venues. Don't miss out on the chance to see a show here!

First Avenue is one of my favorite places on earth. The staff are amazing: hard working, efficient, interesting, helpful and HONEST. The perfect example is when I left my phone on the bar last weekend. I left my phone/wallet on the bar with $180 cash, 2 credit cards and my ID. I was playing Galaga when I realized I didn't have my stuff. I must have looked panicked because an employee came over and asked if I was OK. I told him I lost my phone/wallet and he helped me look with his flashlight, then told me where the lost and found was located and said if they didn't have it, to find him and he'd help me look some more. Well, the lost and found had it and everything was still in it. A bartender saw it and turned it in. The employee that helped me, checked with me a short while later to make sure I got it and I was OK. I really appreciated that. There are plenty of bathrooms and several bars locations so I rarely have to wait for a drink or the restroom. They mix a strong drink at a fair price. There's not a bad seat in the house. The sound system is great. I've been to music venues all over the country and First Ave is my favorite, hands down. The 7th St Entry is an awesome place to see up and coming bands before they've blown up. It's crowded, it's dark and the stage is 2ft off the floor. Very intimate and creates a band/crowd immersion that I really enjoy. If you have a ticket to the main room, check what the crossover fee is to the 7th street, they usually offer a discount.
