Editorial Review for First Avenue & 7th Street Entry – by Citysearch Editors

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.

This place has a name that is about it. They have had a good history, but that is all it is now is history. The place is a pig sty. My feet stuck to the floor in several places around the club because of the dirty floors. The bathrooms were beyond disgusting with urine puddles everywhere and nothing to wipe hands with after washing them. Of course why even bother washing your hands anyway because the sinks were disgusting too. The staff was rude. They had the attitude that they were better then everyone and that you should bow down to kiss their A**. The drinks were WAY WAY over priced, come on 9 bucks for a drink? Of course that was subject to change depending on who served the drink, that fluctuated. Amazing how a drink could be 7 bucks on one side of the bar and just walking over to the other side it goes up 2 bucks for the same drink. If a person is going to go to this place while visiting Minnesota, bring a camera and just take pictures of the stars on the outside... that is about the only good thing. I still can't stress enough about the arrogant staff at this place, if your body isn't mutilated with tats or holes all over your body you aren't a person. Also you can't even smoke while having a beer. That brings me to another trick... While we were outside smoking they cleared our drinks (still half full) so we bought new ones of course and waitress simply said, "sorry, thought you left... what can I get ya?" Kinda funny since our jackets were still on the backs of the chairs. I can understand this happening maybe once but this happened to us 2 times that night. Same waitress. Of course she said the same thing again. Then 15 minutes later came with our drinks and basically slammed the drinks on the table, grabbed the 20 bucks out of my hand and walked away. I think I was supposed to get some change back from that. We left after that. Overall, this is the worst club I have ever gone to. I do NOT recommend you go here. Ever!
Pros: Good History
Cons: Parking, Service, DIRTY, No Value, Drinks overpriced, RUDE Employees

We performed at 7th Street Entry, and I must say, the staff was really nice and the bartender made great drinks. It's a small, intimate club, almost like the indie/punk stages in New York. I would recommend going to check this place out at least once.
Pros: Good drinks, great music, small indie feel
Cons: bathroom is kind of scary, but also a definite novelty to the venue.
