Hot spots in Minneapolis

Lifted from the 10best website, 400 bar seems to be a solid Minneapolis venue "From his previous life as a producer, the owner of 400 Bar still has connections in the music biz, ensuring that quality local, regional, and national acts (including R.E.M. and Spoon) take the stage. Alternative, punk, indie, and straightforward rock are the genres of choice, and recent renovations mean improved quality and better views of the stage."
