400 Bar ($$)
Happy Hour & Drink Specials

The 400 bar is a classic music venue that underwent renovation some time ago. A good beer selection is offset by the pricing, however, they do get good shows and random huge acts (ie. R.E.M). They don't have much of a happy hour, but Old Style & PBR pints are always on special. Worth going to if there is a specific show you want to see.

hey, um, 400 has been (long before many of the bitchy people here were going to shows) and remains a great venue, and does maintain great sound. whine about "sightlines" if you wish, but the reasons excellent national acts keep coming back here is the staff, owners, and professionalism exhibited by such. if some local bands that can't draw more than 10 people want to cry about not getting a drink, they can play somewhere else, like the COFFEE SHOP mentioned in another posting. Ha! The 400 has gone to great lengths in aiding many local acts that want to be more than some weekend bar band (that plays 4 shows a month, and that no one goes to see) And the prices? the most expensive tap is $5, and has been for years...a couple $3 selections, and a rail liquor list better than any in town...where else is svedka, beefeater, bacardi and seagram's 7 on the rail?? and saying First Ave is a premier venue? sure, but it isn't any prettier, cleaner, and kinder to its patrons than the 400.

Pretty good joint. Excellent sound, could use some more drink specials. Best club for indie in the cities. Hey Annoyed Musician, maybe you don't get free drinks cause your band sucks.

This place blows, for all the reasons already stated: over-priced drinks, under-staffed, what staff there IS lazy and rude. I saw a comment on here saying their prices are comparable to downtown clubs like First Ave. He's right; the problem is that this place is a dive bar, not a premiere music club like First Ave. The biggest problem with the place is how they treat local bands; in a word, shitty. No pay, no respect...hell, not even a couple of free drinks! The owner is downright antagonistic. The place is lame, and there's much better venues just down the road (Triple Rock, Acadia, Nomad), so don't waste your time and money.

Who are they kidding! They have terrible sound, expensive drinks and expensive door charges. Do your self a favor and book at a decent place like the Triple Rock or the Acadia. The 400 bar is JOKE! Oh they don't pay bands shit!
