About Mortimer's Bar and Restaurant
Mortimer's Bar and Restaurant in Minneapolis blends casual dining with a dedicated backroom music venue. Located at 2001 Lyndale Ave S, this venue offers intimate live performances in a space that supports a compact, club-style setup. Whether you’re grabbing a bite, catching a show, or planning a night out with friends, we’ve got you covered with seating details, parking tips, transit options, and nearby hotel and restaurant recommendations to complement your visit.
\nNote: seating charts aren’t publicly published, but the interior features wraparound booths opposite the stage and a separate area off the bar, providing flexible viewing options for audiences attending intimate performances and parking-lot event parties alike.
Seating and venue layout
Mortimer's offers a cozy backroom music space with roughly 250 total seats across the venue, including the backroom setup and bar-adjacent seating. While there isn’t a published seating chart, guests commonly find wraparound booths facing the stage and a distinct seating area near the bar for a more relaxed view. Arrive early to secure preferred sightlines and enjoy familiar local performances from emerging acts and regular backroom showcases.

Parking is limited on-street, with some adjacent lots available after 9 PM and during certain parking-lot events. For easier access, consider early-arrival plans or rideshare options during peak show times.

Nearby bus routes along Lyndale Ave S and Lake Street benefit from transit-priority improvements, and the B Line now runs along Lake Street, replacing Route 21 in certain segments.
