He always seems enthusiastic and sets the mood for a good time in this underground bar during open mic night. I believe its an open-mic, but I've only witnessed comedians after attending an estimated 10 times. I usually get home around 11:30pm after the show, it begins around 9ish. My good friend Mitch from high school is how I discovered this weekly free event, his jokes are fire. I look forward to Wednesday's at 9pm, laugh from the gut. The added photo is my friend Mitch on stage.

The food is typical U.S. restaurant food, which, for me, means nothing really stands out except for the pizza. Once you get by the large hog and bull, you are greeted by a couple of Area 51 people. The decor is unique and different. Many items hang from the ceiling, including what looks like scale models of WW2 B24, B25, WW2 fighter planes, plus, what looks like a Vietnam era helicopter. A back wall has the front of a cab-over Freightliner attached to it. The walls are covered with country artists, past and present, along with the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard, including the Confederate Flag, which may offend some people, its history good or bad. The place even has The Fonze's Office with a picture of All In The Family cast. Too much to see to list, and never had an issue with the staff, but we try to behave ourselves and respect other people's property.

Built out of the local quarry, the amphitheater provides a wonderful and intimate event where there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Getting in and out was comparatively easy (think of getting out of RenFest that can take over an hour). The property also has food trucks available to provide local fare which certainly beats your typical crappy stadium/event options. If something that piques my interest there, I will be heading there again

Okay. Let me just start off with: this is a nice venue for the music/sound system and views with…read moreplenty of space. Supposedly this was a sold out show but it didn't feel too cramped at all. Plenty of bathrooms without lines. They did only have one entrance so there was a huge line there but it seemed to move fast. They have strict security and search any bags. The problem was their bag policy SUCKS. It says the dimensions online but they are very strict on that. It's like the tiniest of wristlets ever. I think a man mad that rule but I guess it's for safety so no can sneak in any weapons. I also really hated their alcohol selection. AWFUL selections -mostly gross beers and only one kind of seltzer- Nutrl Orange. I had a sour stomach the next day. Their food is also outside of the entrance so you have to come out to eat it. Plenty of parking but the lines to leave the lot after the show took at least an hour.

For starters this is an amazing venue I have been here many many times for multitude of shows and…read moreI've never had a bad time or bad experience. With that said on Friday May 31st 2024 myself and a whole lot of other people as you can see were there to see the one and only Snoop Dogg! Unless you're living under a rock everyone knows who Snoop Dogg is which means that the employees and security also were aware. Which means they were also aware of the crowd that this would bring. It was a beautiful eclectic crowd there were literally toddlers that were being carried with pacifiers in their mouth all the way to people with canes and walkers there... It just shows what a diverse fan base that Snoop has. Again I've been to this venue many many times and have tickets for another major artist 2 months from now and I'm looking forward to it but the way that the amphitheater staff handled this could have been much better and they should have used some forethought because with an artist like Snoop it's going to be a packed house. Again people were waiting in a line of thousands... A sea of people from the front gates of the amphitheater all the way back around the entire campus of the casino almost out to the street well after 7:45. The line finally started to thin around 8:00 p.m. .... Might I add that if you call and listen to any of the announcements or look on the website or on your tickets every single show the gates open at 7:00 the show starts at 8:00. Well the show started on time and there were still at least 500+ people in line if not more. Apparently the staff realized this but not in time because I heard that they opened the gates at 6:30. They should have opened the gates between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. for that show. They had the staff they were prepared they knew what was happening but they allowed the situation to overwhelm them. The show was amazing except for the fact that for three tickets we paid almost $1,000 and once we finally got into the show not only did they not scan our tickets they didn't scan the people in front of us they didn't scan the people immediately behind us and we ran into people in the show that just wandered in because the way they opened the gates just to get people in... We went to our seats and couldn't get in them because there were people sitting on top of people in our seats and security or amphitheater staff was nowhere to be found. Basically we paid $1,000 to stand in the aisle for over an hour in the rain and get bumped and have drinks spilled on us..... For the record I'm no longer a 20 or 30 something I'm an original Gen X lol which means that as much as I love a good rowdy rootin-tootin good time.... I want to have the option to sit if I want to in between songs and not risk having someone's beverage poured down my shoulders. I would like to say for the record that I reached out to Vivid tickets where we purchased our tickets as well as reached out to hospitality staff at Grand Hinckley casino and hopefully between the two of them they will figure something and rectify The situation before the next big showol, because I know I'm not the only person that experienced this as after the concert I talked to several friends who were looking for me but they couldn't find me because I couldn't get to my seats there were also others who said they just took a chance and walked through the gates as they saw people walking through and not being scanned in which rubs a little salt in the wound because there were people who paid hundreds upwards of thousands of dollars to get into that show and because the staff was so overwhelmed at a certain point around 8:25 they stopped scanning tickets they stopped checking bags they literally just open the doors and it was a free-for-all So while I was halfway enjoying the show that my friends and I paid accumulative $1,000 for there were people who just happened upon the scene that got in for free to see an amazing world-class performance ‍‍ Hindsight is 20/20 and you can't change What happened I just hope that moving forward the amphitheater staff and management at Hinckley understand that when you invite certain artists that have such a vast eclectic fan base that you need to open on time or maybe even a full hour earlier to start letting people get in get their food get their drinks and get situated in their seats so that when the show starts they can stand or sit and enjoy the entirety of the show not be waiting a hundred plus yards outside of the venue and a line full of hundreds of people listening to the show on the sidewalk.

That said, if you like live music as I do), this place needs to be on your list to check out. Back in June, I attended a Prince tribute performance (Nothing Compares 2P) here and neither the venue nor the music disappointed. The layout is great; starting with an elevated staged and just below that is a dance floor and beyond that area is seating (tables/chairs). There are great views of the stage from mostly anywhere in the space and most importantly, the sound system was on point. Because of demand, for this performance, the dance floor was converted to seating and while understandable, other than in your seat, it made dancing virtually nonexistent. So much so that if someone stood up to dance at their table, the staff working the event would quickly swoop in ask them to be seated so as not to block the view of the people behind them. While relatively large, there is a single bar which was well-stocked and staffed when I was there. I am not sure if it the norm, but on the night I was there they had a $20 minimum for credit card use. Also, the only water they were serving was bottled (no cups of water) so be mindful of that. While this was my first visit to the Minnesota Music Café, it won't be the last. I will gladly return here for future performances.
