7th Street Entry

The 7th St Entry is a historic, intimate 250-capacity live music venue in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, opened in 1980 as a smaller, punk/indie-focused alternative to the adjacent First Avenue Mainroom. Located at 701 First Avenue North, it is renowned for hosting emerging artists, punk rock legends like Hüsker Dü, and intimate sets from established acts

Arctic Monkeys and Rural Alberta Advantage at First Ave and 7th Street (9/25/09)

Unbelievable - how on earth did two of the hottest tickets in town, Arctic Monkeys and The Rural Alberta Advantage, came into town and basically played next door to each other at First Avenue and 7th Street Entry? For those outside of Minneapolis, First Ave and 7th Street are basically one big building. The mainfloor (First Ave) is definitely much larger than 7th Street, which is pretty much like a closet. So with some strategy, I was able to catch four bands last night at both sold-out shows, weaving in and out of bodies and having a pretty good time about it too.
