I hadn't been to myth in years so I was super excited to catch a show there recently. The venue is located next door to Maplewood mall so there is plenty of free parking available in the nearby lots or the main Myth lot was $25. The place is small so it made for an intimate show experience but it was pretty crowded! As a short person I always try to find a spot along a raised railing and was lucky enough to get a pretty decent spot after the openers. The sound quality was not the best but I have definitely experienced worse. The beer was $13 so typical of a concert venue. Overall the venue had a very nostalgic feel for me of my teen days going to rock shows! The energy of the crowd was great and overall I had a pretty awesome time! read more

I will first start by saying it was a great experience, overall from the beginning to the end. I am a Quadriplegic paralyzed from the shoulders down and the accommodating experience was unmatched with my overall experiences being confined to a custom wheelchair that's very large in comparison with an emergency stretcher. The customer service representative and the staff where on top of everything five stars quality!!! read more

Went to my first show at the Myth and I was underwhelmed by the venue. Not sure if it's because I've seen this artist at a bigger venue before and know the theatrics they are capable of, but the space here is definitely limited and although the show was great, it was hard to see anything because we were packed and people were coming up from the floor and steps. Also, the sound wasn't the best- definitely got feedback going a few times that I haven't seen as issues in other venues I've been to in the Twin Cities, big or small. The biggest perk of this spot is the free parking nearby (although they were charging $20 for on site parking that we elected to skip by parking at the stores next door). I'll give it another chance in the spring, however, because there's another band coming who I've seen two other times at two different Twin Cities venues so it may be a better litmus test. read more

Saw The Dropkick Murphys here. The band absolutely killed it! The acoustics at the venue are decent, but the ventilation there is pretty awful. Overall pretty good place for an intimate performance, if you don't mind sweating. read more

I just went to a music event and it is a total abuse to charge for parking not only paying for a little over priced ticket on line because if you find it in a different place is cheaper. The establishment should provide free parking, is like if I go to Macy's they have me paying for going to their store or paying at a Restaurant parking . They were charging $20.00 usd. They are such a thieves. I wonder if we as consumers can complain at a government instance. Who regulates charging for parking? read more

I like Myth. A lot of people say it's not the best but it's a nice intimate concert venue. I have always had good experiences here. Easy to get in, things were clean and I could see the stage well. I will come back here for. Update. Went back again last night and still had a great time. The venue was clean, staff were great and had a fun time. read more

Went to the Lil Pump and Lil Skies Concert. It was very intense. The artists were amazing, lil Skies cake into the crowd and danced on the railing. It was crazy! Lil Pump used a water floaty to surf the crowd while he was performing. The two acts were really fun to see live. The security outside was very good at their jobs and took it seriously. I appreciate them! The security inside was a different story. I respect them however I don't think it was a security person, but it was a worker in the technicians booth openly smoking pot. That seemed really unprofessional to me, no matter who the act was on stage and their stance on marajuana. Like I said previously the concert was fun, but after being around the cannabis smell I had a horrible headache. I don't understand how people don't get sick from smelling it on them. I don't fully blame the venue but they could be a more strict on telling people they can't do that. Especially since this was an all ages event. I won't be coming here again unless I have an artist I can miss. But that might be a while. read more

This is one of the weirder venues in Minneapolis as it's in the middle of a suburb and is very out of place. The parking situation is unique as all of it is free in front of the venue. Not the best setup but also not terrible. Most artists seem to skip this one for mid size shows read more

I like Myth, it's a modern and well kept musical venue. The staff is friendly, and the sound is good. Drinks are generous too. I saw many great performances here, and looking forward to even more. The only issue I have with Myth is that it is a bit far out and there are no decent places to go out with friends after a concert. Beware of Valet parking, that charges $10. In my opinion it's a complete scam, as you can park on the Toys R Us lot, and the Public Library lot for free. read more

Myth - Sting at the Myth. - Music Venues Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

I like the IDEA of Myth for a concert because it's smaller than Xcel or Target and other large auditoriums, but really the set up at Myth is so terrible. There was literally a blockade of people that made it impossible to see from anywhere in the entire venue. Luckily, there was a timid bouncer that had a hard time telling people to get off the stairs so I was able to see Sting perform about 4 songs before another bouncer came and made us all get off... then told the timid guy to do his job :/ I know... I should have gotten there earlier, but I didn't need front row standing for a 4 hour concert! Just some kind of set up that would allow even nose-bleed view in the back would have been better! Nevertheless, I saw and heard Sting Live! read more

I went to NOFX. I then went outside to smoke a cigarette. I did not know where to go exactly. I was told by the staff that it was upstairs. I went upstairs and I went out the first door I saw which is what someone would do. I then got locked on the roof for 20 minutes. I banged on the door no one opened it. I then called down to the box office and told them. I was locked on the roof. The staff laughed and hung up a phone on me. I called back several times till someone believed me and said they would some one up someone to let me out. After 20 minutes I did get wet off the roof. I then went to the smoking area and made a joke about how I got locked out there and tried to make the best of the situation. One of the security staff got mad at the joke and threatened to kick me out of the club. I asked him since I'm the one that got locked on the roof why am I going to get kicked out? He said he didn't want to continue the conversation and then called more security.They followed me around the club and threatened to kick me out multiple times for something they had done wrong.If you want to go to the poopist venue in Minnesota.Then go to this one .The staff here sucks. read more

Your experience at Myth probably depends on multiple factors... -Who is playing and what kind of crowd do they attract? -Is it a special event or holiday weekend? -Company used for security and bar staff? I visited on NYE 2018...Lizzo was the main performance and all in all she was pretty entertaining. I was prepared for drunk and disorderly and altogether the crowd wasn't too bad. Yes there were young girls passed out on the stairs, an occasional puker in the crowd but nothing I wasn't prepared for. The location itself is decent for a show...you're able to get pretty close to the stage and see from just about anywhere. There are multiple bars to get served and the sound is pretty good. My 2 star review is a bigger reflection of the staff. Our "VIP" section required special tickets to be on a raised platform with our own bar, pretty cool. The bar however had like 2 beers to choose from, Vodka, Gin and Jameson with no soda. Bar tender told me I could have shots...Wtf? At a separate bar there was more variety, but $10 a pop for top shelf in an 8 Oz cup with about zero alcohol, quite a rip off, but what do you expect. The two things that pissed me off the most...Water cost $3 for a cup of tap water, drunkest night of the year and no free water. Remember, they don't have water fountains. Second, my wife and her friends said the women's bathroom was about unusable. No flushing toilets, no locks on doors. Use your imagination for the condition of that restroom on NYE. When the staff was informed they didn't even offer to check it out. So, like I said...your experience will totally depend on multiple factors. Have fun! read more

If you have an out of state ID, do not come here and expect to be able to order alcohol. My group had to literally have the police officer in his car run our IDs on his computer and tell the bouncers we were good in order to receive 21+ wristbands. read more

My least favorite concert venue. You would think this venue being way out would weed out the rift raft but no. I've been to 3 concerts here (Big Sean, Kehlani & Russ), at all 3 concerts fights broke out and the security response was slow. My main issue with the venue is that every concert I go to I pay extra money for VIP tickets which includes early access into the venue (almost the most important part of vip). At any other venue they honor it & make sure you are in well before the general admission people. At Myth all three times I was told they can't because they don't have enough security or some bs. So they let everyone in at the same time, in which I feel like they should be giving me a partial refund. Even with Meet & Greets, they make you go wait outside back in line (they usually have vip line but like I said that door doesn't open until the general admission does). Long story short don't expect early admission at this venue. Don't waste your money. At the end of the day it just goes to show that they are understaffed and unprofessional. At one concert a girl passed out in the middle of the crowd and people were yelling for help and waving their hands to the security (who where facing the crowd) and they did nothing. The artist performing got pissed at their lack of response and stopped the show to address it. They could see something was going on like everyone else (& if they couldn't why are they even there?!) and didn't help until the artist stopped the show. Ridiculous. Also, and I won't even blame this on security but if you are anywhere in the front or middle of the mosh pit you will get crushed! People from the back will literally push the crowd into the front gate. The only two good things about Myth is that the view is usually good even if you stand further back or watch from upstairs, if they allow you to. They also have a large parking lot that is free to park in. If you get there early you can usually get good parking but closer to doors opening they close off the lot because of the crowds of people waiting in line will eventually block a lot of the parking lot. I try to avoid concerts here at all cost, I'd rather travel to Chicago or somewhere else close to catch an artist than to deal with Myth! read more

despite other reviews, had a great time seeing ITM. Love the interaction of a smaller venue and the bar was great!

My buddy and I went to the Myth to check out the Black Label Society and it was fantastic for a venue that holds about 3,000 people it seemed like. We waited out in line for about 15 minutes while waiting to get patted down and everything was real professional with a ton of metal heads around. We stayed off the main mosh pit floor and at about the second level of benches so we could sit between sets because we are old and it was perfect. We could talk between sets and I think we could have been the only two sober people in the venue. There were drunks everywhere, which was the only setback to the concert. I had two fights almost break out in front of me, but other concert goers stopped them before stupid drunks got out of hand. I had a drunk guy fall right at my feet that we had to help out, which could have been me probably 10 years ago, but for a 34 year old just trying to see a great heavy metal band...I thought to myself..Jeez...Just enjoy the band guys....It is nice to remember it the next day. Very hypocritical again because I was probably the same guy in my 20's. Age brings wisdom in some categories I guess. Why pay all this money if you are just going to get trashed at a concert? To each his own though. My friend and I did see a Days Inn across the street which would be a great place to go after a concert if you wanted to get blitzed, but I am sure a cop could have pulled over 80 DUIs if they wanted to after the show. The bathroom was awesome. The trough walled the whole bathroom, so there was no wait to go to the restroom, and the bar seemed well manned. The guy next to me spit out while he was speaking to me that beers were 5 bucks a piece, so not bad. Overall, an awesome place to catch a show, but the acoustics could have been better. Good time though. read more

This is an honest review. Myth is a spacious venue for concerts. I enjoy the atmosphere and vibe. It's even better when the venue is only 3/4 filled. Depending on the night, it can get super crowded (avoid if you don't like being body to body with other people). I've played a show here before and the V.I.P. areas/rooms are clean. Now onto the bartender. Most of the bartenders are pretty cool. One bartender gave us an extra shot because she poured one too many. Lady--You rock! There are a few who are a bit on the opposite side. I purchased 10 beers, paid with my debit card and was going to to take out some cash to tip. The bartender assumed that I wasn't going to tip and gave me and attitude and mumbled "seriously...no tip"? Lady--be patient. read more

Went to a concert and paid extra for the "luxury suites". I will never pay for luxury suites again and in fact there's a high chance I won't go back to the myth for a concert again. If you get to the concert early, you can easily get a good spot on the balcony or even on the raised spots on the floor. Having access to a private bar really doesn't matter as the myth has multiple bars all over. There's literally no reason to pay for luxury suites. In our suite we had 25 people and had to negotiate a spot to see the actual concert. It was not luxury at all. When standing in line for general admission, a worker told us to go up by will call and there was a special line for luxury suite holders. The people at will call sent us to the back of the line (which sucked because we had been in line already and were not as far back as we then had to go) When we got up to the luxury suites, we were informed we could not enter without a special wrist band. The person scanning our tickets was supposed to give us this. Although we had our tickets, this employee couldn't give us this band and we had to go back down and into line to get the special wristband. We went to the bar to grab some drinks and had to pay $6 for two small bottles of water. Two mixed drinks ended up being $15. No discount to the luxury suite holders seemed surprising. Now I'm wondering just what am I getting for paying all this extra money for luxury suites. While waiting for drinks, people kept coming in the luxury suite area. The employees told us all, pick whichever suite area (there are 3 different suites and all three are different prices) you want to sit in. We also saw a lot of people without the special wristbands who apparently snuck in. So essentially someone could have paid for the most expensive suite and someone who paid for the least expensive suite and those people that paid less went in the better suite. The suite itself was nothing special. We were in the second suite of the three (the middle one). It was dirty; the walls were disgusting, the "mood lighting" didn't work at all (bulbs burnt out). And the view was the exact same as you would get on the balcony opposite which was general admission cost... with just as many people packed behind you. The most disappointing part was the sound itself. You could not understand a word of what was said or sung. It was a huge disservice to both bands that played. read more

I've been to the Myth twice - 1) during high school and 2) for the Dashboard Confessional concert to ironically relive high school. This is place is OUT THERE. It's curious why someone would build a venue on a truly outer ring suburb and then promote it as "Located just minutes from both downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis, Myth Live is the Midwest's premier concert and ballroom destination showcasing today's top talent." The open floor space is good. The bartenders keep the earplugs in a back room, just put a bucket out for free on the counter please. The parking situation is confusing. It's in a shopping center of suburbia. Overall - it's a weird place to have a concert venue and is going to cost boat loads to get there so you're better of getting a DD and driving. You'll be partying next to the home furniture store, get excited! read more

Thinking of other venues that I love around town made me remember everything i don't love about Myth and how it would take Whitney Houston herself resurrected from the grave and performing a private concert for only me and my friends for me to return. Firstly, it's in Maplewood. Where is that you ask? I have no idea. There's nothing else to bring me out here, so why are we driving out here to see a show? Also, this place has a serious identity crisis. It reminds me of the big nightclubs that I thought were exciting when I was in Mexico when I was 18. Oooh, exciting, I can legally drink here and listen to the Venga Boys! Flashbacks abounded when I came here for a show. I don't know who the people were who think that there isn't a bad seat here. After walking around trying to find a place to see the stage, let alone hear the music over all the bass, we just jumped ship and abandoned this concert. Overpriced tickets and all... Just for the heck of it, I took a spin to see who else would be playing here soon to see if I would ever convince myself venture out here again in the distant future, even if it couldn't be Miss Whitney. Nope. Not even Wale (who I actually really really like) can get me to drive out here and pay $75 to see him. read more

Oh Myth, I have such conflicting emotions about my experience. I went to the all ages M.I.A. concert and was quickly reminded of what an old geezer I am and how hideously obnoxious teenagers are. Especially teenagers that wear neon leggings like it's going out of style WHICH IT IS. The venue itself was of mythic (oh yes I diiiid) proportions. The inside was fitted with flat screen tvs and comfy sofas to lounge around on until the main act got on stage. There were at least two bars and the drinks were much cheaper than I expected. It has it's own private lot, but you can pretty much park anywhere near by and walk over. The only downside as mentioned before is it is in the effing boonies in comparison. But otherwise it seemed like a good mid-size venue. read more

Writing this review based on going here for a concert. A few reasons why Myth has disappointed me. 1.They make you stand outside waiting for the doors to open its cold during the fall/winter months. 2. Parking is terrible once their small lot is full you are to park in the Maplewood Malls parking lot this is about a two block walk to Myth. 3. Standing room only if you choose to sit you won't even be able to see the show better off listening to a radio 4. Its a big ole mosh pit pretty much once the building fills up in the middle i highly doubt watching a performance is any fun esp with those being intoxicated and pushing you against one another while sweating balls. 5. Far off. In Maplewood yes Meh I've experienced better is the perfect rating for this joint if its a performer you really want to see live great otherwise pass up and go to another show elsewhere. read more

Went here to see Chance the Rapper and Metro Boomin, and it was one of the best shows I've been too. Most of the credit goes to the artists, but they had a great venue to perform at too! We skipped the opening act and showed up a bit late. The parking lot was completely full but there was overflow parking for $10 right across the street. Got the full pat down at security (there was no gender discrimination). I didn't interact much with the staff, but the venue itself was great! There was a small audio hiccup which was fixed. Audio and visuals exceeded my expectations and really added to the show. The main standing room can definitely get a bit tight, but if you want to hang back for some dancing room, you'll still have a great view with a nice line of sight. Maplewood is a bit far, but I'd definitely consider going back for the right show! read more

Oh Jeez, this place is horrendous! If you are looking for a one-night stand and a possible stab at VD, then, this is your place! Everytime I've come here, it's the same shit. Young girls probably tooo young, but whatever, and young(er) boys dancing to America's finest top 40 music...Great...not so much.. It may be fun though, if I wasn't old enough to come, and I got in, and got drunk underage... That's what it seems everyone else does, and they seem to enjoy it...hmmmm read more

Confused on the Haterade on here. I'm here to document my success? at Myth. I came here with MaryJo C to see Capital Cities (who were awesome BTW). Yes, it's in Maplewood. Random. Get a life if you are going to rate them poorly because of this. It's just water under the bridge. The venue inside is actually really nice for a concert venue. I obviously have not been here for a "club experience" so I can't comment on that. The bar seemed to be working smoothly. It didn't seem that there was a bad spot in the house. And you know what is the BEST PART. It's NOT DIRTY IN HERE. (I'm looking at you First Avenue). I would definitely come back here. -1 Star for the Parking outrageousness. You kids are right about that. -0 stars for Maplewood. read more

Myth seems to be the sort of place that you either love or hate. I hate it. (I'm only reviewing it as a concert venue. If you want to go to a dance club, my guess is you'll love it.) 1) Location. I'd prefer if it was downtown, but the location didn't affect my vote. It's a big metro; there are a lot of places I have to drive a good ways to get to. The parking is actually good if you get there really early. Apparently it stinks if you don't. 2) The line. They have this habit of splitting the line in two just before opening doors. It's pretty irritating to wait for hours and hand people who just got there beat you inside. 3) The wait. Shows don't start on time. Every time i've been, the opening act stared about an hour after the advertised start time. (Two hours after doors open.) 4) The bar. The selection isn't good. It's overpriced, but I don't think there are any concert venues without overpriced drinks. 5) The bathrooms. They seem okay, but if I were a woman, I probably wouldn't want to go into that back corner. 6) The sound. Other people say it's phenomenal. I though it had a lot of distortion, and made it hard to actually hear the music. 7) The venue itself. If you like being in a crowded mosh pit, you're in luck. Most of the venue is one big pit. If you're like me, this is the exact opposite of what you want a concert to be. Nowhere to sit (at least nowhere with a view of the stage,) it's hot a stuffy, you're standing in place for three hours by the time the headlining band starts, you can't hear them very well when they finally do come on, and it's so crowded that you can't go to the bar, or you lose your spot. Like I said, I think it's love it or hate it. If you like this kind of place, then you're lucky. A lot of great shows that come to Myth, since it's bigger than First Ave. read more

Man, I hate this venue. Oversold shows. If you're short, you'll see nothing. What a waste of money. Hate hate hate hate this venue. Did I mention that? For $60, I should at least get a glimpse of the band. Meh. It's out in god knows where...might as well be Canada as far as I'm concerned. No bus service after shows. So you have to either not drink or take Uber/cab home and in order to enjoy a show here, you're gonna need to do some drinking. I noticed the Deftones are playing and got excited, but then I noticed that they're playing the Myth and remembered that I hate that venue. Wah wah. read more

I hate when shows get scheduled here instead of First Ave. First Ave is so much better. Anyway, I only go here for concerts. Tried the nightclub scene here once and it skews very young (its 18+ most night, occasionally 16+) and very trashy. even worse than the Dive Bar/The Bird/T-birds or whatever they call themselves now. Possibly because of it's proximity to east St. Paul. Anyway, for seeing shows: Pros Good sightlines Good audio / acoustics Big bathrooms / Usally Clean too Cons Understaffed Bar - Getting a drink takes FOR-EV-ER!! No drinks in the bathroom - you have to leave your drinks with a friend or on a table outside the bathroom. you can't bring it in. I would recommend you finish your drink first, especially for women. You don't want some creeper putting something in your drink while you visit the restroom. Rude bartenders - They hire the prettiest women to be bartenders, you know the ones who look so good they never needed manners or a personality to get ahead? Pricey drinks - Domestics beers are only $5. Not bad. But anything mixed, even with cheapo rail liquor, pushes close to 8 or 9 dollars a drink. And they come in shorty 6oz glasses Heavy handed security - Due to the amount of fights and stabbings that have occured here, security is bold and brash. Always in your face. there are lots of them around too. All cocky muscleheads with something to prove. Camera policy is hit or miss - The official policy is that it's up to the bands to decide whether or not cameras are allowed. How you would ever find this out in advance is beyond me. It's not on the venues webpage or the bands webpage. Calling the Myth is no help. So I figure if security lets you in with a camera (obviously showing them I have it) then you should be good right? Unfortunately I've had a memory card confiscated because even though they let me in with it, the band didn't allow photos from a digital point and shoot. How would I know? Long lines to enter - everything is general admission (well I suppose there is a small amount of VIP but I digress...). You have to queue up about an hour before the show in lines that wrap around back to where circuit city used to be, if a national act comes to town. No afterbar - there really isn't anything in the area to do after the show. I mean, there's a BW3 and a TGIFridays but not really anything else to go party with after you see the band. Overall, the physical building is nice but the location sucks, the staff sucks, the prices suck. It's just not a place I want to go to see bands. read more

Was just there Saturday for Chevelle concert. Some 'less popular' concerts are less crowded and much more enjoyable here (eg Bret Michaels concert). I suggest getting there EARLY, picking a spot just off floor level, and NOT moving, and have a friend go get everyone drinks if you need them. Should probably just drink before hand! If you do these things, it should be fairly enjoyable for you. You can actually see pretty decently from a lot of places. Hated the way they split the 'waiting-to-get-in' line into like 4 different lines, some went faster than others so people who got there after me got in faster - annoying. Bathrooms - decent. big. weird they had ladies handing out paper towels though. a little awkward. Bars- super crowded. Super overpriced (was expected). good luck getting anything to drink once the band starts. Parking- decent. No need to get there extremely early for parking, parking lot is fairly big. But I wouldn't want to be really late either...not sure if there's overflow parking. No place to sit AND watch. Maybe that's asking too much. VERY crowded where we stood. People basically on top of each other in order to see. Tempers rose because of alcohol, heat, and major crowdedness. Stairways into and out of the 'standing-pit-like-area' were cram packed to unsafe levels because the stairways are a bit raised up, so you can see better. Also, those same stairways need some sort of lighting or better glow tape, people kept falling down them onto floor level (they couldn't see them). ---Maybe I suggest that staff keep the stairways more open for safety? God forbid there would've been a fire. People would have died (by trampling, not fire). read more

Very messed up system they have here! The venue for a nightclub is ok but I went here for a concert and waited in line for coat check for two hours...pretty much a cluster of drunk pushy kids. Im short and was pushed and shoved almost to the ground. My hair was pulled and drinks were spilled on me. When leaving I had the same gd problem and was seriously pushed and shoved like you can't even imagine. What a nightmere! Someone is going to get seriously hurt one of these days if they havnt already. And to add on top of all that, we first got there and thought we would avoid the line outside because it was like -8 degrees out so we sat in the car for a bit. Someone from security knocked on our car door and told us we couldn't hang out in our car..wtf... ok yeah so ill go stand in your line and freeze my butt off...mmhmmm. nice. read more

Overall its a great concert venue, like all places it has its pros and cons. Pros: -Great sound -Great sight-lines (not a bad 'seat' in the house) -Easy to get in/out (traffic wise) -Friendly and thorough Security -Plentiful Staff -Side Bar is never busy -Clean Restrooms -Great people watching -Smokers area (if you are into that) -Intimate venue -Free parking Cons: -The drive (its far, for most people) -Sometimes long lines at the bar -Capacity of 2800 people is way too much (even at 1800 for Korn it was packed too full), there is no such thing as personal space here unless you snag a VIP booth -Lots of drunken people + location = lots of drunk drivers (but you get this everywhere, its just unfortunate this one means further driving for the drunkards) -All General Admission means LONG ticket lines Great job Myth - please stay open forever and continue to have awesome shows. read more

Myth sky bar was awesome. Lauren the bartender made us awesome drinks for Halloween and she was very friendly.

I've been to the Myth for several shows now but last Saturday was my last one. This place is always incredibly crowded to the point where you can't move around or see the show on stage. Hell, I couldn't even see the stage without looking at the monitors on the walls. I'm no fire marshal, but I'm pretty sure there's a safety hazard in overselling shows like they do. The sound system is pretty poor too - I could hear all the conversations around me clear as day, but the bands' music sounded as if it was just background music rather than a live concert. I was also really disgusted by all the litter outside the smoking area. People just throw their cups, bottles, cigarettes, and other miscellaneous garbage over the railing into a small pond/reservoir. It doesn't look like it's EVER been picked up by anyone. I get that people are often slobs who don't give a rat's ass about the environment, but you'd think the club would clean it up at least some...or maybe that's just a pipe dream of mine. Either way, offering obvious garbage cans or smoker's poles instead of two little buckets you can hardly see might encourage people to dispose of their trash in appropriate places. Also, for those of you who check your coats and personal belongings, please be advised: When I saw Marilyn Manson here several years back my credit card was stolen out of the coat check area by the staff and used to purchase gas and car washes. I know it was the staff because it was back in my wallet at the end of the show, and the only way I found out it had been used was when the charges showed up on my bank statement. I had to call my bank and the police to file fraud charges! When I called the Myth to report it they said, and I quote, "We are not responsible for our staff." Well that's just brilliant. *eyes roll* I work too hard for my money to spend it on a low-quality experience like the Myth. read more

They have an awesome sound system, and people who know how to work it. They have a lot of space, good sight lines to the stage, and they have big name acts come thru on the regular. They have really nice clean bathrooms with an attendant and the overall impression is good. I do not like the location, Maplewood is way too far away for my liking. I do not like their selection of beer and liquor, it's like they have the left overs from your party last weekend, and you're not really sure what you want to drink. I do not like the invasive searching the security guards do before you enter. I mean the lady sniffed my cigarettes like I had drugs in there, inspected my car keys, and rifled thru my purse like I had a arsenic in there. I would go back because sometimes you just have to if you want to see a group and that's where they're playing. It's not my fav and it's not my least fav. It's just a 3 star kind of place. read more

It was hard to decide between 3 and 4 stars. The venue itself is great. The space is huge, there are plenty of bars, and surprisingly plenty of places to lean/sit - which for a pregnant lady was so appreciated! Sound quality was good, and we had decent views of the stage from various spots throughout the venue. The location just....sucks. It's a haul from the Cities, so I'd really have to like a band to make a trek out here. And for being out in suburbia, you would expect a better parking lot, but I will say even though you have to park a few blocks away at Kohl's (which we did), it's free. read more

I liked this place for its size and its comparatively cheap ticket prices. I also did not mind standing through the entirety of a concert. Drinks were pricey, but bartenders were good. Coat check available. Free parking. I got to share a warm-hearted laugh with a security guard who was keeping the stairway cleared - he and I had seen the same "feeling-good action/behavior" of some guy ascending the stairs. read more

This is by far the worst venue in the Twin Cities. It's always disgusting, with seemingly zero cleaning staff on the clock. Most recently went for ODESZA, and the year after Galantis. The place reeked if sour garbage. I wish it would close down so it can stop being such an embarrassment. Minneapolis has a thriving music scene and doesn't deserve to have its reputation soured by this dump. Hope to never return. read more

Maybe it's because I've been to my fair share of dives (real ones not the ones hipsters frequent), but this place is pretty decent for a show. Granted, I don't buy drinks at these shows because they are always over priced, but from a venue standpoint, it's somewhere I'd go again. It would be nice if the shows whose target audience is over 30 and on a "school" night would start at more of a happy hour time than 8:00 PM, but who knows who is in charge of that option. Also, I prefer to sit at shows rather than stand, but if you get here early enough, you might find a decent place to lean. read more

Free parking is awesome, but make sure you budget how much you're spending on drinks here, because a mixed drink and a soda were $9! I do like that the joint is air-conditioned, can't catch a cool breeze at First Ave unless it's winter. read more
