Editorial Review for First Avenue & 7th Street Entry – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
First Avenue, a slightly grubby, two-story room with a black-on-black color scheme is one of the most popular clubs in town. The crowd is an eye-catching mix of fashion freaks, frumps and everyone in between. The club hosts DJ dance nights Thursdays and Saturdays in the Main Room and VIP Room, when not preempted by a concert. The diverse calendar includes up-and-comers who play 7th Street Entry next door.

I happen to like 1st Ave, I've been there for a couple shows and it can get packed! I really like that they have an upper balcony like level to get a different view. Yes, it is somewhat dirty, but it's always a good time if you go to the right performances/events. It's a good time.
Pros: Performers and Events, big stage, upper level
Cons: dirtyness

They're clear your drinks twice as fast, give you scowls even quicker, and then shoot up heroin right in front of your eyes. Except the bigger bartender with glasses and the woman with long dread-locked blond hair. They're nice. The two old men are cynical, yet too stupid to earn that title. They are over-priced, too. Something about adults who act like children around Uptown Minneapolis --- fully willing to be green, but not at all willing to be friendly. These people in Minneapolis have had religion thrust upon them as children, and they have no definition for "individuality" beyond their superficial outer-skin layers. There's no INTERNALISM in Uptown, Minneapolis. It's all on the outside. Great arts and crafts houses, though, and wonderful stained glass everywhere! There isn't a single modestly priced jazz club anywhere in this hellhole either!
