Dining Tips
Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

I turned down a ticket for Paul McCartney to go see Cole Pulice at the CCC, and definitely made the right choice. Such a cool friendly vibe in the venue, run by volunteers. If I lived near this venue I would definitely sign up, but I live 4500 miles away 😅 Tried my first sparkling THC drinks which I think definitely enhanced my experience and the performance. A really magical evening x
We love the Cedar Cultural Center. They bring in great music, it’s a compact yet open venue and the staff is awesome. Make it a point to find your way here. You won’t be disappointed!
What a great concert and venue. Scout Willis opened for Kingfishr and folks just check both out. Unbelievable voices and the energy they exude is infectious. Simply Brilliant.
One of the best venues in Mpls and, in my opinion, anywhere I've been. I have seen many of my favorite musicians here. Langhorne Slim, the High 48s, Jillian Rae, Elle PF, Communist Daughter, Mark Mallman, & Jig Jam come to mind. The ticket prices are very affordable all the time. I have always been greeted with positive attitudes from the volunteers and staff. Be sure to check out one of the finest venues in this city, nay, the world!
I love this place so so so much. The staff the artists and the cool people who also come for shows, most importantly care they have for the community. They are the best sending smiles from Daryel Youth.
