First Avenue

Excellent Acoustics & Sight Lines

This joint rules the Twin City music scene. As a converted bus depot, the large two-story room offers excellent acoustics and sight lines. If live music is on the agenda, get there early and grab a table in the balcony or you will stand all night. The music menu runs the gamut from reggae to punk to rock to country. If a local or national act is not scheduled to play, a DJ takes over and gets the dance floor jumping. Pool tables, pinball machines or video games offer quieter amusement. Oh yeah, Prince is known to drop by unannounced and play a set or two. Call the box office for ticket prices and hours. Both vary based on schedule.
