About Cabooze

Welcome to Cabooze, a storied Minneapolis music venue known for hosting a wide range of acts in a buzzing, intimate setting. With a capacity of about 1,000 indoors for most shows, Cabooze features general admission (GA) seating on the floor, an adjoining bar area known as The Joint, and a history of memorable performances dating back decades. Opened under new ownership, Cabooze celebrated a grand reopening in September 2024, continuing its tradition of presenting diverse artists in a welcoming, straightforward buying experience.

Whether you’re downtown for a night of live music or planning a weekend with friends, Cabooze is designed for easy access, flexible seating, and a vibe that’s unapologetically authentic. We’ve got you with reliable details to help you secure your seats quickly and confidently.

Cabooze sits at 917 Cedar Ave South, Minneapolis, MN 55404, and sits adjacent to the Cabooze Outdoor Plaza, a venue-within-a-venue vibe that expands the concert experience. The venue is across from the Franklin Avenue Light Rail Station and is supported by multiple bus routes, making transit to shows simple whether you’re coming from the suburbs or the heart of the city.

Parking is practical but limited on-site; plan for street parking and nearby lots. When you’re ready to unwind, The Joint—Cabooze’ adjoining bar—offers a great pre- or post-show spot with a laid-back atmosphere. For visitors staying in town, we highlight affiliate partner options for nearby hotels and dining to make your trip seamless. We’ve got you with up-to-date, straightforward information so you can focus on enjoying the music.
