So I was walking from US Bank stadium on a preseason Friday night at 10pm back to my hotel. I was in town by myself and just enjoying the city. The area is really nice (looks clean) and not to many begging homeless people or shady people. Anyway, I am walking along in downtown when suddenly I come upon an establishment with scantily clad women and big bouncers standing outside some large wooden doors. The red sign felt welcoming and so I decided to check it out (why go back to your hotel by 10pm anyway, right?). Next thing I know a young blonde girl is in my lap talking to me about my day with hardly anything on. I like this place :) The place is kinda small, but that is what you get downtown compared to those outside the city limit ones. I didn't mind and liked that about it, not sure how packed it can get though. The guy at the door checking IDs was very laid back and the lady at the front desk was nice. I used my Yelp app for freed admission :D The bartenders were great as well. If there was anything bad to say about this place, I would say they need to arrange the layout a little more for when I does get busy and to allow you to walk up to the front stage easier. To many big chairs everywhere. The girls were very nice though. I would definitely go back again. read more

The girls are smokin hot there! It's a very nice place! It is what it is, a strip club! read more

Top of the line entertainers that are friendly and easy on the eyes. Drink service was decent, even though it was their busy time. Prices were comparable to similar venues in the area, but never felt like I was being hustled and pushed too hard. Highly recommend this place. read more

Really a fantastic gentleman's club. Great variety and selection of beautiful women. Day shift is very chill. I recommend checking it out if you like a more low key, personal interaction. The new laser system at night is so amazing! The sound system quality is amazing as well. I recommend the breakfast slider or the breakfast skillet before 3pm!! read more

This is by far the best gentleman's club I've ever been to in the Midwest. From being greeted to immediately at the door as I walk in to the quick and efficient bartenders I've had nothing short of an amazing time. It's spacious, the dj plays the BEST music, and the servers are warm and inviting. As far as the entertainers- my God. No matter your type, they've got her there, trust me. There are even booths that are available for bottle service that come in handy when you're with large groups. Overall, every experience I've had there is exceptional! Can't wait to go back. read more

Back in town after a long hiatus. Had to come back to my favorite party spot, the DTC. The party did not disappoint. About as much fun as you could have at a place, in one of the most unique buildings ever. Beautiful women of all types, a loud and fun night always.... read more

Looking for an AMAZING night out on the town?! Look no further than The Downtown Cabaret. From the drinks, to the entertainment, to the hospitality, you're bound to have one unforgettable night. Some of the HOTTEST girls in the world work here. Definitely one of the best clubs in Minneapolis to check out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Every time I've been to Downtown Cabaret, it's been a good time. The women are not only attractive in physical fitness, but also face, which is always a plus. Fun personalities, and I have gotten into some good conversations with dancers and friends that have gone on for awhile and made the night overall entertaining. I can't say I've eaten here, but their drinks are strong, sound-quality good, dancers professional, facility clean, and overall I've been impressed. read more

This place is amazing! The service is top notch from the time you walk through the door, to the time you leave. The women are beautiful, and this place is always a party! My friends and I love Downtown Cabaret! read more

Best party in town!!! This gentleman's club certainly sets itself apart from every other club I've been to. Top notch service and staff. Beautiful ladies! 5 star experience every time. read more

The place is only topless, went on monday night so the vibe was dead, and most of the dancers were meh. I will say this, it is a Classy place, and the interior is like being in an opera house but for dancers. They did have this one dancer (I wish I could remember her name) who was really good. She made pole dancing into an art form while being sexy and seductive at the same. You could tell she had great body strength and discipline to perform some of the tricks that she did. Mayhaps I need to go on a Friday or Saturday night when the place is more jovial. read more

I used to hear tales of Anderson Consulting coming down here and dropping gs on expense accounts to throughly "entertain clients." I took the bachelor party crew here as well. We got in with free passes given by the charming waitstaff at Kierans and were seated. Seeing a bachelor party come in to a place like this. Well. You might have just rang a dinner bell to the girls in here. I started by buying laptances for the groom-to-be and sicced a little asian chiquita on a girl I dated years ago who was coming along with the bad boy crew this evening. Girls getting lapdances is always completely hilarious. They make the best faces. I would like to take this time to encourage everyone to see that more of this is done in the world. The floor manager, girl wrangler, or whatever his title is came up to me and said he needed $200 to get the bachelor in stage. I told him that I would get back to him, but actually I told everyone to finish up what they were doing, and pack their semi's to go. We going to move along to the next stop. Two hundred bucks? Pa-shaw. They don't make strip clubs like they used to, I guess. read more

I paid for a lap dance with Jewel and I got up half way through because she smelled so bad

I can't remember the last time I had that much fun on a night out. From the outside, the place looks like a fortress. Inside is an experience hosted by some incredible talent. The ones we hung out with were all super fun and hot. I don't usually leave reviews for places like this because there was never a reason to, but we were treated really well by the staff here. After a wild night, they arranged a driver to get us back to our hotel. Will definitely be back! read more

Buyer beware! The bartenders overcharge you and the bouncers are looking for a payout to fix such issue. You will be fighting disputed charges if you use a card for months (very shady).The bouncers try to fight you to get the girls paid. If you need to go to a gentlemen's club stay away from this place. read more

Still 1 star after managers comment. I made her uncomfortable according to the manager? She called me later to say "sorry my manager was high and insisted I go home because I suggested You didn't need to buy the Champaign." Although it was kind of nice because usually she has to pay the manager $60 to leave early and hang out with me. The $25 she had to pay for an uber was a drop in the bucket. We had a great camping trip btw right before i left that review and decided to visit her at work and make her feel better for not making enough because her wage is based entirely on tips. Yep 1 star because the manager treats there entertainers like shit. read more

So, you walk up to this place, and the door is being covered by four guys stuffed into one big guy who's mere gaze suggests you are living just then.....because he doesn't have time to change that. When you get into the place, you come to the counter that is usually man'd by a very knowledgeable person that can direct you to the floor, or to one of their very nicely priced VIP seating areas. The last night we went there, the GM was even at the door cracking jokes, and just being an awesome dude. I believe we was dressed to impress in the dark, but he had some weird ass socks on. Very cool. GET BOTTLE SERVICE! GET BOTTLE SERVICE! GET BOTTLE SERVICE! Honestly, I'm sure the floor is great, but where you are really wow'd is with their VIP service. Get a group of your friends together, split the cost, and go bottle. Don't have friends? Damn....sit on the awesome floor, in comfortable seats, with great servers circulating around gorgeous women!!! You're through the door, you met the person at the desk, you laughed at a couple of jokes from the GM....you BOUGHT BOTTLE SERVICE.....and you requested....the best bottle server/VIP server/AWESOME WOMAN.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never had a better server anywhere...hands down.... This woman knows how to treat her customers with class...if you want class. Sass....if you want sass.....and she has a great ......if you want a great....... Her memory is great. Her ability to guide your party, while partying WITH YOU, is amazing, and she is on top of her job. I take care of those that take care of me, and she was second to none. This club has some great women, but she elevates the establishment. Thank you, Vicky!!! read more

Check your receipts if you use a credit card!! Barkeep wanted to keep my card and ID in her bra and the floor waitress disappeared with my card and ID for nearly an hour! We had to track her down before we left. Two charges for $23 each were increased to $30 and $40 by the next day. Fortunately I kept my copy of the receipts. We won't be back nor recommend this establishment, ever. There needs to be a zero star rating! read more

I was denied service by the bouncer for showing up as man in a dress. He expressed concern that I wasn't wearing underwear and wouldn't let me in even after I literally showed him I had under garments under my dress. I've never been so humiliated and certainly will not be back read more

Terrible dancer and terrible service with trying to over charge everything. I strongly recommend not let them take away money from you. Dancer unreasonably asked for a drink and the waitress overcharge it. On the phone, they said the dance is only 20 dollars, They Lie LIe LIe~~~~My worst experience in my life~~ read more

A friend of mine and I recently visited this fine establishment. Without question the cabaret offers the unrivaled experience aside like-minded institutions of the Twin Cities. We were kings for the evening and not by merits of ego, arrogance or shamelessness, rather as a function of how well we were treated by the staff in the wee nocturnal hours of a random weekday evening. Carpe Noctem, seize the night. read more

The management was the worst I've ever experienced in a Gentlemen's Club. I didn't have one dancer come and speak to me in the hour I was in there. read more

This is probably the worst strip bar I've ever been to, across 44 counties I've been. Rude security, bar tenders,etc. not worth your time.

It's a nice gentleman's club, I'll give it that. And the waitress service is wonderful too, but that's just it. I don't expect Monday nights to be hopping, but when you have like 10 girls and only one can work the pole (she was damn GOOD, blondie) and one other long red haired girl who can dance, it's a little odd. Also we were only two of few patrons, so we were approached almost each time a girl was done with a set for a dance. We felt we were being watched and it was hard to enjoy. We left after two hours because we had a seven hour drive home. read more

My friend Erik always wants to go to strip clubs here in the Twin cities because there are none in the middle of nowhere South Dakota. last summer we went to Sheiks/Downtown Cabaret and had a great time. $10 to get in, but the bartender let us onto $3 rail drinks all night, most likely to get us to spend more on the dancers the drunker we got, but that was fine. They had 2 for 1 lap dances for $10 every hour it seemed like, and Erik got a private dance in the back area that he was actually impressed with compared to those at Dreamgirls, where he usually wants to go. It was a very fun time and not super expensive for a guys night out. read more

As a New Yorker, it should be no surprise I've been going to venues like this since Scores was new. NY, Vegas, Prague, etc...the high-end ones tend to share similar traits: comfortable but crowded, high prices, aggressive (although usually polite) girls who don't let you forget they are there to earn money, and aloof but personable management. I don't usually feel compelled to leave reviews for any of them. I was in town for business last July. By chance and proximity, a couple of colleagues and I ended up at Downtown Cabaret after dinner, and I'm so very glad we did. I recently returned to Minneapolis for business and it was even better. Everyone was very involved in making sure we enjoyed ourselves. The waitresses, Ashley and Danielle, were flawless, friendly, and felt like they'd come there with us. DJ Charley was playing music that repeatedly stole my attention from the more obvious interests. I had a Shazam treasure trove after each visit. He was the linchpin...and he managed it all while working. The general manager, Dylan, was an exemplary host. I won't offer details but he went so far above and beyond on one particular occasion that it defied how I thought the universe worked. I won't forget it. Nick, Cameron, I remember them all. Hell, even the restroom attendant, Antonio, remembered me from my first visit. Last, but very far from least, the dancers. We spent most of our time with just a few standouts: Maxine, Marina, and Mei Ling. Of course they're attractive but, in a place like that, it's expected. They stood out because they were interesting and remained at ease for the entire time they spent with us. I will return but, until then, I've still got DJ Charley on MixCloud. read more

This is the best gentleman's club in the city by far. I've been to a number of them and none of the others quite measure up to this one in the hospitality department. Some of my most amazing nights out in downtown Minneapolis have been here. The girls are extremely friendly and attractive, and the managers and servers are all awesome people who seem to want to make sure that your experience is the best it can be. If you want a really fantastic night, definitely check this place out. The food is pretty sweet too, I must say. read more

Maria is beautiful and really sweet. She knows how to make you feel special. Find her on the weekends and spend all your money on her. Trust me, that's all you need know about this place. read more

Every time I go I enjoy myself! Extremely friendly staff, beautiful woman, great DJ, good atmosphere...can't go wrong

This place is awesome! The music was great, service was on par. Did I mention the girls are gorgeous and nice. They know how to throw a party at DTC and I would highly recommend checking this club out if you haven't already. I can't wait to go again! read more

What a great place! It's really a great time here! I'm fascinated by all these amazing dancers! But this place is so much more... The experience with lights and sound is great. The building is amazing, and the general ambience is a nightclub experience. The bathrooms are very clean. And I even tried their famous tacos. A+ downtown cabaret! 40 sexy ladies! I love this place! read more

I went for the first time on Saturday night 2/10/2018 I had a 1 hour private session that was $440 and 2 bottles of champagne that the dancer suggested. I was misled on the price of the champagne. I have credit card receipt for $440 and no slip for the champagne. The next day I checked my bank account and $1265 was taken from my account. Also my tip was paid in cash. I checked with management and was told there was nothing they could do. read more

Visited the Downtown Cabaret and was impressed by the upscale architecture and the talent! There are many gentlemen's clubs in Minneapolis but i have not seen any like this. The bartender was friendly and attentive even though it was very busy. Definitely going to bring my friends here next time. I didn't find one girl in there that i didn't like, definitely looking forward to celebrating my friends bachelor party v.i.p style. read more

A great experience. The girls are beautiful, and very nice, very attentive. You pay for the attention, but where don't you. $7.50 for club soda, $20 per song for a lap dance. The VIP experience was great but a little expensive. read more

This place is no good!! The music is way too loud. You can't hear anything. I'm pretty sure a girls pimp was hanging out at the bar. The girls are trashy and kind of ghetto. I was not impressed. read more

This is one of the best topless club in downtown, Minneapolis. Ambience is great.!! There is no push from waitress or dancers. You can see young energetic girls here. 8 US$ cover charges. ~8 US$ for beer. 20 US$ For ladance. Best place to relax and great fun..!! read more

I've been to dtc a few times , Ive always had a decent time in there (girls are alright I guess) but the last time I went I experienced some of the most discriminating hospitality ever.. so a girlfriend of mine decided to get out the house and enjoy some much needed entertainment. Because I used to dance my first idea was of coarse the strip club. So after I got a tattoo my girlfriend and I got dressed.. we decided to invite our tattoo artist as well since he was going downtown also. Once we get there, my friends order a shot, while I went to get over 200$ in 1's . I don't drink but was pressured to take a half of a shot to loosen up (wrong move). Within 5 min my head started pounding . I watched a few girls on stage (which now is way better because they have a pole and not just a runway) and walked up and tipped around 20$ per girl. When I returned to the table a server (whom I later found out had relations with our guy friend) asked us what we wanted , because my head was hurting still I asked my girlfriend to step outside with me to get some air and smoke .. within 5 min our guy friend was being put out .. before we could ask what happen the manager stepped out into the smoking patio and told us to leave. Confused I asked him what we did he didn't respond. When I asked again he made the statement "we have enough nice cars on our lot we don't need anymore used vehicles " he went on to say "you must think we're dumb, we know exactly what your up to" I was appalled ! He assumed because were two black woman that the guy we came with was a pimp. The worst part about it is how do you defend yourself? I was wrongly kicked out of the establishment all of an assumption.. I still can't figure out where we went wrong. We dressed classy we had money we drove a nice car yet that makes me a prostitute? When I called to talk to manager about situation they told me to hold on and hung up on me twice smh read more

Great venue, great girls, and an even better DJ. If you are on the town with your buddies this is the place to be.

Hot Damn, years later and I'm revamping my OG post, with a better review. This place puts the ASS in classy, also there's a vintage library on half of the left side, sophisticated! An old school bank on the right side, Baller! The ladies here are here cause they love their job. The management is also there cause they love their job and it Shows. Nothing beats an atmosphere of people that love their job and love to be at work. Tell you what it's definitely noticeable and also tell you that you won't find me anywhere else. Hope to see ya there someday. Prob on taco Tuesday. Best taco/titty special..... Ever ~ thanks ~~ mike read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Friday. Lunch was good. Entertainment was thin and weak. Only two girls dancing. Both were hot but only one gave me any attention. I paid her $125 fee for 15min VIP dance. Dance was good. I was allowed to touch, which I always enjoy, but she stopped after two songs and said we were done. Not sure if this is the norm but I left immediately. read more
