The Cedar Cultural Center

My 1st time at the Cedar Cultural Center, and I was blown away with a magically beautiful evening of music with voulouse + bad posture's farewell show. The volunteers were all so kind and friendly. There were snacks, alcohol drinks, and THC drinks available during the show. Seats were unassigned with no bad spot in the entire place. I can't wait to go back for another experience!

My sister and I saw Brent Cobb here after beer hopping on the green line earlier. We were the first ones in and were next to the stage all night. I drank some beers and chai tea. They served the chai tea in regular breakable coffee mugs. Probably had lots of mugs to wash at the end of the night. They could have used more staff or volunteers as the beer lines were long. The place seemed like an alright venue for a concert.

Music, comedians, whatever is on stage this place is a classic!Are the lines too long for beer or wine? Yes! Are the plastic folding chairs uncomfortable? Yes! Do they only offer cookies? Yes!But you won't care because the acts here are top notch! I just recently saw Nancy And Beth which is a musical duo of actresses Megan Mullaly and Stephanie Hunt. Could I see their interpretive dances to old country songs from the B side of the album? Not always, but the music was amazing!The crowd was fun and friendly and so very eclectic. I think that's why you just have to love this old broad of a music venue. They take donations, they sell tickets, and still offer really great shows. If you're in the Twin Cities you just gotta go enjoy something here!

This is a great place to enjoy entertainment in the Cities. It's basically as if you've stepped into a high school gym with a musical shrine in the front. This is an intimate space and for me has always been a surprise if there will be seating or not. Sometimes there's chairs and other times everyone stands together to take in the show. There is a small concessions area for wine and beer and depending on the show the lines can get a little long. Cash only at concessions. Parking is a little interesting around that area as well. One of the best things about catching a show here is that the crowd is always such an eclectic mix of folks. Great space that you should most definitely hit up!

One of the best places in the metro to see music.They are a real community builder and feature some of the best local and global talent you can hear.I remember going to ceili dances as a kid with my mom. I was recently there for a fundraiser gathering in protest to the oil pipeline featuring Nahko, Bombay, and many others.The Cedar is a place to check out and keep on your map!

The Cedar is hands-down the best music venue in Minneapolis, possibly the Twin Cities. No hyperbole. The venue has a strong commitment not only to bringing small and medium-sized acts to the cities but also to serving the local community, specifically the east African community. They have been bringing in African musicians for some time now to showcase talents from the region. They also keep local musicians in clover by giving them a small venue to play in.What gives the place its title? Tickets for some stellar acts such as Dessa, Chris Smither, Bob Schneider, David Bromberg and more are affordable. They serve their audience by changing from seated to standing to mixed shows depending on the expected audience. They serve beer, wine, chai, locally roasted Peace coffee, cookies and snack mixes at affordable prices. Finally, they are volunteer-run, which lends itself to the community-driven nature and also keeps prices down. Keep these things in mind when you consider where you go for shows, and do support the Cedar!

Drinks taste amazing and the performance are lit/cool/so amazing.Pretty great place :)I took tons of videos... like no pictures and can't post them here but take my word!

AWESOME local venue. Saw The Weepies here, and it was an incredibly intimate experience. Definitely not a bad seat in the house, and it was so positive to be supporting a community place for gathering around good shows and music. Will be making an effort to attend shows here in the future!

I am definitely a fan of this place. I came here to watch my favorite group, Angus and Julia Stone, performed on a Saturday night. It was a sold out concert. I purchased the tickets four months in advance. I showed up and there was a guy going through the Will Call list. I got my tickets and proceed to the entrance. The girls took our tickets and to your right you will see a place where you get drinks and snacks. I was surprised they served local brews. It was kind of expensive though. I got the Indeed Minneapolis for 7 bucks. The woman's bathroom was small and a little dirty. Before you enter the theater there is a sign that say No pictures, No videos. Well people do not obey. You still see people taking pictures left and right without flashes. lol There are chairs everywhere to watch the performance. Good thing it is not a big concert cause I don't to watch far. The sound is perfect to daydream while you are watching the performers. The concert was great. I enjoyed the performance a lot by Angus and Julia Stone. I was super happy when I heard they were coming to Minneapolis. I believe it was their first time here. I will definitely come here again after a great experience! ;) (Not sure if there's parking for this place)

I think that this place has some of the BEST Chai Tea in town. It's flavorful and spicy, but only slightly sweet. It's perfect!They also get some fantastic musicians in here all the time! Case in point, I am a volunteer here and worked a show a few nights ago. As I welcomed the will-call patrons, I learned that one couple was from Saskatchewan and on their way to Chicago, stopping through Mpls. "to do something fun along the way" and see Rodney Crowell perform. Another couple had driven 3 hours north to see this performance. I'm excited for the show at the end of September - Shovels and Rope will be playing.
