Location and Transportation

Venue Address

7th St Entry

701 First Avenue North

Minneapolis, MN 55403

Located in downtown Minneapolis, the venue is steps from major restaurants, nightlife, and transit options in the Warehouse District and Hennepin Avenue corridor.

• Parking: Several paid parking lots and ramps are nearby, with limited street parking. Spaces fill quickly during events — plan to arrive early.
• Public Transit: Served by multiple Metro Transit bus routes and within walking distance of the Warehouse District/Hennepin Avenue light rail station.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff areas are available near First Avenue’s main entrance on First Avenue North.

Arrival Recommendations

To land a prime spot for this standing-room-only experience, arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime. This window gives you time to clear security, grab a drink at the bar, and move to your preferred spot on the floor. Because parking lots and ramps can fill up during popular 7th Street Entry events, planning ahead ensures a smooth arrival.

The venue is indoors with minimal walking and is at street level, so you won’t need to worry about weather or steep climbs. If you’re meeting friends, plan a meetup at the building entrance or by the First Avenue box office before doors open to ensure you get in together.

Public transit and rideshares are reliable options in downtown Minneapolis. If you’re driving, factor in time to find a ramp and walk a few blocks. For the best views at a packed show, earlier is always better — especially given the room’s intimate 250-capacity setup and general admission floor.

Venue Navigation

You’ll find a streamlined, no-frills layout designed for quick access and excellent sightlines. The low ceiling, black walls, and compact footprint keep you close to the music, and the professional-grade sound and lighting are dialed in for clarity. Because the room is small, it’s easy to pop to the bar and return to your spot without missing a beat.

Concessions focus on bar service with local beers and standard drinks, and most shows offer a merchandise table so you can grab artist gear. The Entry shares a building with First Avenue, which houses additional amenities like a box office and ATMs. Comfortable footwear is a plus since you’ll be standing for the duration of the show.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Small bags and purses are allowed; large backpacks and oversized bags are prohibited.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras or recording devices (without prior approval), illegal substances, and large bags.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 45–60 minutes early to secure a great spot near the stage in this standing-room-only room.
• Snap a photo at the iconic First Avenue star wall outside before doors open.

Pre-Event Planning

With a busy 7th Street Entry schedule of live music showcases and touring artists, it’s smart to plan ahead. If you want to be up front, arrive early and head straight to the floor — the intimate size means the best views go fast. For a more relaxed experience with quick access to drinks, hang near the bar along the perimeter and settle in before the opener starts.

Make the most of your downtown location. Meet friends at a nearby restaurant for a quick bite, then head over together to streamline entry. If you’re coordinating a group, pick a clear meetup point at street level outside the venue or by the First Avenue box office, since the compact layout and general admission floor can make it tricky to reconnect once you’re inside.

Cell service is generally reliable but can be spotty during sold-out shows due to crowd size. Download your tickets in advance and share them with your group if needed. Before or after the show, take a moment to visit the famous First Avenue star wall — a perfect way to cap off a night of live music.

Accessibility

7th Street Entry is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in nearby ramps and on-street spaces. Entry is at street level, and while seating is limited due to the standing-room configuration, there is limited accessible space — contacting the venue in advance for accommodations is recommended.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving drinks at the bar, including local beers and standard offerings. There’s no full restaurant on-site, but you’re steps from excellent dining options in downtown Minneapolis.
