About Mill City Nights

Mill City Nights sits in the heart of Minneapolis' Warehouse District, a multi-level music venue known for its dynamic main room and a basement Nether Bar. Located at 111 N 5th St, the space blends intimate basement shows with a main room capable of hosting a lively crowd. While the venue opened in 2012 as The Brick and later became Mill City Nights after renovations, reports of a potential reopening under another name have circulated over the years, but the space has not operated under that name since 2016. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your night—seating layouts, parking guidance, transit options, and nearby lodging and dining.

Whether you’re catching a headline act in the main room or a set in the Nether Bar, you’ll find Mill City Nights’ location convenient for downtown travelers and locals alike. This page provides current information about the venue footprint, accessibility, and the neighborhood’s amenities to help you secure your seats with confidence.

Venue details: Mill City Nights is a two-level venue in Minneapolis’ Warehouse District. The main room seats or stands up to approximately 1,200 guests, while the Nether Bar basement accommodates around 400.

As of 2026, the venue has not resumed operations under the Mill City Nights name since its 2016 closure, and circulating reports of a rebrand to MPLS Music Hall have not materialized in ongoing operations.
