Editorial Review for The Quest – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Its zany decor is nearly out of a movie, but this multilevel club's delicious music mix of old-school funk, cutting-edge electronica, alt-rock and R&B make for long lines on weekends after hours. The crowd: mixed, depending on what's happening at the club, but usually hip. The drinks are strong and professionally (if not promptly) served. The Quest rivals First Avenue as Minneapolis' premier live music venue and features visits from internationally known DJs.

I HATE "EPIC"! Despite its new name, its still the same and stems from the rude management and trinkles down to the service. Last week I called John regarding their VIP services there. Not only was he NOT listening to what I had asked and made me repeat myself 3 times, he was yelling over the phone, very short, and annoyed by the fact that I had called. 1. if you don't want people to call about your VIP services, don't put your personal number online for people to contact you and get an assistant. 2. if you're busy, tell the person you will call them back. 3. have a little respect for the people who even consider Epic to go clubbing at. With that call ending, I immediately decided I would NOT invest in their services and would just purchase presale tickets to avoid the unnecessary long dreaded line that "Epic" is known for. The friends who didn't purchase tickets were forced to wait in line for over an hour in the cold, and told by the bouncers "we don't care if you get in or not!" 1. if it wasn't for the turn out of people, your butt wouldn't be at the doors with a job. 2. if you were doing your job right, there wouldn't be such a mess at the door. 3. don't try and make it look like its hoppin' with an unnecessary line when theres only 10 people inside. Not one person I know likes "Epic", because of their service. You can't hide your old ways behind a new name. Same pig management, same pig services, which will lead you to the same result: being closed down, which is probably best for you anyway! Didn't you learn a lesson? If your venue is at Epic, its a guaranteed loss for you. Not only do they cut you short from fans before the party, but fans who do come and support you as well. My personal advice is don't associate with such services unless you believe in their services and want that image to reflect on you as well. Its only the pigs at Epic. Gotta hand it to ya Epic, people bad mouthing about you is your only source of marketing. Thats real promising.

Pros: absolutely NOTHING.

Cons: absolutely EVERYTHING!

This ain't Prince's club, or even the old Quest. It's Clear Channel, baby, and it ain't pretty. Tood bad, another once-great venue falls victim to soulless corporate pigs.
