http://www.damico.com Live piano and acoustic-based jazz every Friday and Saturday by Benny Weinbeck. The bar has a casual attitude, attracting those who like to sit in the low-key area in leather-like chairs. The fine-dining, dinner-only gourmet Italian restaurant runs $50 a person, attracting the big boys and featuring a 200-300 bottle and rare wine list. More >>
http://www.dakotacooks.com The standard line on the Dakota is that it has the best food of any jazz club in the country. That's got to be true, but doesn't really cover it. When there is no music playing at all, the Dakota is a very classy lunch or dinner spot. At lunch in the dining room you'll find the best salads in downtown, along with unexpected sandwiches. During dinner, the spacious, contemporary dining room's well-spaced tables are graced with a rotating list of all-American originals. When there is live music, in the two-level bar and concert area, the Dakota offers all kinds of edible treats to enhance your jazz-going experience--or quiet your teenager into appreciating the beauty before him: fun, forthright desserts, skinny fries, and killer burgers.

http://www.epicmpls.com The name and ownership of this swanky club space have changed over the years: it started out as Prince's own Glam Slam, then had a long run as the Quest before being reinvented as Epic in 2007. The club's vibrant, brightly-colored decor and pop-art futurism -- not to mention its elaborate sound system -- complement the repertoire's heavy emphasis on pop, hip hop and electronic dance shows.

http://www.finelinemusic.com Since 1987, this downtown Minneapolis destination has filled a role in making sure that First Avenue isn't the only music hotspot in the neighborhood. After surviving a 2003 fire, the club came back with upgraded audiovisuals and a new stage, and they've reliably continued to maintain a calendar filled with a broad range of international touring acts and local up-and-comers.

http://www.first-avenue.com The club known worldwide thanks to 'Purple Rain' is a national treasure to Twin Cities music fans, who can catch anyone from local favorites to internationally-touring veterans at this former bus depot.

http://www.thegarage.net While 18- and 21-plus age groups have plenty of places to choose from around town, younger teenagers are often left out in the cold, searching for all-ages gigs or a place to hang out. The Garage, the City of Burnsville’s youth recreation center, has after-school and summer programs for middle- and high-school youth. On the weekends, it turns into an all-ages music venue, offering gigs by local up-and-coming bands, usually for $5 to $15 a head. The venue has earned plenty of accolades through the years, including several national awards. More >>
