The Cabooze Review

Decent venue for music, you can get bar food next door. The restroom situation is quite poor with some stalls missing doors.

This is my absolute favorite live music venue! I can't even count the amazing artist I have seen perform here ... Wookiefoot, Digable Planets, Arrested Development, George Clinton and Parliment, and on and on!!!!

Parking was fairly easy as we got there about 30 minutes before the show. Seating is VERY limited so make sure to wear comfy shoes. The automatics were fantastic and the drinks were decently priced. I ll definitely be back!

I've been to so many concerts here, I've lost count! Always a good time, the outdoor concert I went to was amazing!!

Great place to meet friends and just have a great time.

Really wish the stage was set up at the end of the building. Not right in the middle of the place. Still a great place to see a show.

Service was a Lil lacking in saw my food be finished and placed up from the kitchen the waitress didint come and bring it by till it was warm not even hot smh

Fun place to be, i like the band i saw, ok service, i felt safe in the area outside, easy to get transport home

One of the best music venues around, anywhere. Big supporter of local music and great up and coming touring bands!!!

Awesome bar.. Great bands play here! We come here mostly for metal gigs.

Only negative remark I would say is these bathrooms could use some serious work. Other than that, great venue.

I saw Big Krit here!! It was my first time there. I wasn't disappointed :)

It's a awesome place to see a show it gets hot real quick though

It pretty much a landmark in the Minneapolis music scene. Easy to get drinks and the sound is generally excellent.

It's the Cabooze. Nothing fancy but a great spot to catch a low-key great show and I hope they never close.

Really enjoyed my time at the Cabooze, I was visiting from a neighboring state and my sole concert experiences have been in stadiums. There were some altercations that kicked off during the concert but the crowd seem to have jumped in and took care of it before security could.

Love it. In the summer they have outdoor shows. Parking can be a pain but there is a light rail station just outside. (Franklin Ave, on the Blue Line)

Intimate venue. Cheap drinks. Great foreign bands and fun people.

Enjoyed the venue, was taken aback from the vintage appearance of the building on the outside but in the inside you will be pleasantly surprised. From the center bar where you are served in a timely fashion and in great quantity, to the extremely large dance floor. I especially liked the ample seating that is located throughout the venue, there is a second floor lounge which allows you to view everything below. The stage set-up is perfect for this setting and the sound system is basstastic. Helpful hints: come early to get a good seat and for parking its limited, bring cash just easier to keep track of spending and know where the restrooms are before the show starts, the place gets really crowded.

The outdoor plaza is a nice setting, but the area ain't great

Decent sound system. Great access to the stage. Reasonable seating.

drinking and partying in the best place to see music!?! cant go wrong!

An awkwardly designed concert venue. As a bar, it's not a bad design. As a bar with a bar band that no one is actually there to see, it's not a bad design. As a concert venue for fairly popular bands it is REALLY awkward. The stage is in the middle, along the right side, of a long rectangle....very odd. If you're there early, it's great. If you're not...well...good luck.

very down to earth place clean and diverse they make you feel very welcome great staff fresh popcorn served daily a awesome steak and eggs breakfast!!!

No seats, not first date compatible for conversations.

Very nice venue, friendly staff. Good outdoor grill for basic BBQ type of food. Loved being sprayed with a water hose

Here all the time for shows, sound system is great, but the layout is a massive pain. Security does more harm than good.
