Description:
DOWNTOWN. A whimsical retro theme recalls the '70s and '80s at this relaxed downtown bar and lounge. Enjoy nightly specials on food and drink (occasionally including a buffet of wings and nachos) as you try to spot Farrah Fawcett and Leif Garrett among the publicity stills that plaster the walls. As the evening progresses, the after-work crowd gives way to trendier club-hoppers, ready to dance the night away to pop, rock, and hip-hop on Drink's dance floor. Groups are welcome and a VIP section is available upstairs. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. A converted 1930s bus depot, this two-part club is a premier music spot in the Twin Cities. First Avenue attracts both national and regional acts, and depending on the night, you can catch a Jamaican reggae group, Texas rockers, a Seattle grunge band, or a high-life act from Nigeria. DJs play recorded music, mostly progressive and alternative, for nightly dancing. The tiny Seventh Street entry is accessible through the First Avenue venue or via a separate entrance. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Six connected bars and dance floor areas make up Gay '90s, Minneapolis's gay nightlife smorgasbord. The decor has a tarnished charm that the clientele seems to love, or at least not to mind. Come early for a chicken dinner special in the main dining room and bar, and then choose your poison: Retro Bar, La Femme, the Men's Room (accessible only through the men's restrooms – sorry, ladies), Dance Annex, and Happy Hour await, each with a different mix of music and attitude. Having reached iconic status in the Twin Cities, this club is worth visiting just to say you've been. |
