    Waiting to get in - GA
    Jenn N.

    Centrally located to downtown & pretty much has its own stop on the metro. It's right next to the MLB Twins stadium. I never felt unsafe. Security was cool & moved the line quickly. The floor GA area is 100% flat, so if you are short like me & want to see anything - you'll need to get there early & be aggressive to not let people push past you. The only higher seats are up in the small balcony & I think you have to pay extra to get up there. The tix prices were reasonable. They offered hard alcohol & even a nice selection of THC drinks, if you are into that sort of thing. The opener: Speed of Light - was really great. The Warning brought down the house, nice to see young ladies that know how to rock. Sound was good.

    Great venue

    Went to the Fillmore last night for a private event. What a great venue! It has an upper level that wraps all the way around, a nice sized stage, and flexible space. The staff was all very friendly and the decor had some nice touches like the huge chandelier. The acoustics were good too. Nice spot to host or attend an event.

    This is a great venue for music. I went to a show with friends, day of, and were able to buy our tix at the box office which I appreciate. Online fees are ridiculous and if a venue offers a way for you to get tix where you don't have to pay ($12+ in this instance), I'm in. The venue itself is beautiful. The chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, Great sightlines from the floor, sides and even a small seating area, looking across the floor and right at the stage. All of this combined, really makes this a fantastic venue. But the price gouging for drinks and ticket fees knock this back a star. Tip: The box office is easy! You can even quickly run in if you park with the hotel check-in roundabout drop off (leave someone in the car just in case), while you won't get a paper ticket like you do when you do this with First Avenue venue events - please offer this), you do get a text or it goes to the app and boom, there is your ticket. You just need to make sure the office is open. When it is, you can even buy tix for future shows. Extra cost? $2.50. I'll take that every day and plus it gets my butt down to the North Loop to do something else. Win. Win.

    I've been to the Fillmore for a handful of shows and it's always been a great experience. I appreciate the extra security measures they have in place along with the opportunity to bring in a non clear bag. The drinks are a bit on the expensive side but what concert venue isn't? There are plenty of places nearby to pregame anyway. There are lots of parking ramps and paid off street parking within walking distance. The sound quality is great. There is usually standing room generadmission on the floor and premium seating upstairs on the balcony.

    I hadn't been to the Fillmore but last night was my first show at the venue. And I was seriously impressed! The venue is really gorgeous on the inside. Clean, easy to navigate, great space. Anywhere you stand you'll feel close to the stage. And the sound is AWESOME, unlike some other venues (venue) in the Twin Cities...(cough cough iykyk). Inside the main area, there are these really cool and large chandeliers that hang from the ceiling and that look so cool with all the lights going. The staff here is also awesome. There were a few seemingly medical issues during the show and they were extremely quick with getting to the person and providing them aid. ALSO: huge perk, they give out FREE WATER. I truly believe all concert venues should do this, so I'm glad the Fillmore took it upon themselves to do so. They had water jugs and cups at the bar that you could self-pour. And the water was ICE cold. Incredible. So thanks Fillmore and thanks Renee Rapp for a killer show last night!!

    So close to the Target field, it's easy to use my typical Twins Game Routine to get to the Fillmore. Ramps are easily accessible within walking distance. I wouldn't suggest side street parking unless you're a seasoned pro. It's a great neighborhood to find a bite or drinks beforehand. There is an easy and fast bag search as you enter. The staff were very friendly and were on top of their game. The venue itself is beautiful with chandeliers in a modern and fun space. There's really not a bad seat in the house because of its small setting. It's standing room only so you can mosey how you wish. You can call ahead if you require seats. They have many photo opportunities. The lighting is on point. I hope to return and see some more live shows.

    I came here for the Taylor Swift party on a Saturday night. Getting to the venue was relatively easy-there's a gas station close by if you need a place to be dropped off/picked up that isn't the venue. Getting into the Fillmore was quick and efficient, which I appreciated. The space is intimate and smaller, but not too crowded. There are some funky chandeliers which makes for a fun atmosphere. There were two bars and the bathrooms outside the main area was easy to get to. I would definitely consider attending another event or show here.

    Recently went to my first show here and really liked the venue! It's on the smaller size compared to some others in the area, but it works! The decor is fun, the chandeliers in the main area give it a fun vibe. Enough room to dance or move around. Like most other venues, drinks were pretty pricey ($16 for a tall boy topo chico). They had a coat check, but the line was pretty long both for drop off and pick up. Super close to the light rail and several parking garages for easy parking options!

    If you haven't been to the Fillmore yet for a concert, it's a must do. It's a small venue and really contains the music well and laid out to serve drinks and get to the bathroom easily. I've been here about 10 times and have never been let down. There are many restaurants/bars within walking distance and parking ramp within a block or two. Prices for tickets are affordable for floor and I plan to do balcony at an upcoming show to check that out. Prices for alcohol are still pretty high, but normal for events.

    I saw Ashnikko here in September and was blown away by how gorgeous this place is, the prettiest venue I've been to in Minneapolis and I saw a lot of them recently. Sound quality was great, balcony view was amazing and the veggie burger was delicious.

    Love the chandeliers

    An incredible venue. Only my 2nd show here, but it is one of my very favorite venues. Staff is so friendly. Love the chandeliers. Love everything about the Fillmore.

    Where is the closest parking garage or lot?

    There is a parking ramp right next to The Fillmore, just a few steps away and it's pretty cheap. Ramp is on the left,if you're facing Fillmore.

It happened to be a Marvin Gaye Tribute night, which was fine by me as I love me some some Marvin Gaye. If you are from the Bay Area, this place is like Yoshi's. I got there early and got the table my colleague picked was up stairs and a good view. Our server was great. There is a little coaster that is at the table that you can turn over for service or not if you don't want to be disturbed while watching the show. I ordered my food while waiting as I know there were two showing and I kind to eat or have most of my food eaten so I can enjoy the show. I started off with the jalapeno bacon wrapped poppers and the focaccia bread. the popper were not big and bulky and had a great smokey flavor to the bacon, which were probably put the on grill and not pan or oven cooked. I'm not a big bread person, but when I am out I'll usually eat and the foccacio was great and I needed to soak up the wine I was having with my food. For the main course I got the Shrimp and Grits, because it's a jazz club and southern joint. Oh my they were good. Just the right amount of spice to the gravy. The music was also great and the ambiance was really good too. I think I'll be heading to Yoshis a little more as it's been years that I've been to a venue like this. A chill way to end the conference week.

I recommend pre booking the valet for $15. Then you check in at the front table and someone takes you to your table. For first times be aware some tables are communal. The food here is just alright. We had the chicken sandwich with fries. It was fine but nothing to write home about. As for the shows we have never had a bad show here. The performer's always are into the show and we have left happy with the performance and sound quality.

Biggest name for me? Jane's Addiction before they moved to the Main Room and that Lala Palooza thing. Hell, the pretenders played there in 2023 as a warmup place to kick off their big tour and to get close to fans. How kick ass is that? The place holds 250 people. 250! Think about that. Nirvana also played that room before they blew up. The last amazing show I saw there was Melissa Carper in the late summer of 2024. Three piece band. A fiddle player, Melissa on a standup base and a dude strumming on a hollow body. It was one of those shows where the audience was there for the music and there was no chit chat. The music was beautiful and I was rocking ear plugs, even though they weren't really needed for that show. It was f'n beautiful. I can't believe I'm only associated with two photos (at the writing of this review) and I will be correcting that. Cross over between the Main Room is now kind of a pain in the ass as people typically don't do it and staff are a little in the muck but it is what it is. If you can see a show there, do it.

You will still have time to grab a drink and find your seats without the hassle of the pre show crowd. It was so chaotic. The drinks are spendy for what you get but they don't take tips so I guess it somewhat evens out. You can request a lid for your drink which for me is a must in these crowded spaces.
