About Zombie Lot

Zombie Lot is commonly associated with First Avenue & 5th Street in Minneapolis, but the active performance spaces are the Mainroom (capacity ~1,550) and the 7th St Entry (capacity ~250) within the First Avenue complex. Located at 701 N 1st Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403, this iconic venue is steeped in music history, including connections to the Prince era and the Purple Rain era, making it a must-visit for live music fans. This page covers both spaces, practical details for attendees, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you plan a seamless night out in downtown Minneapolis.

Whether you’re catching a headline show in the Mainroom or a more intimate set in the 7th St Entry, we’ve got you covered with straightforward ticketing, accessibility notes, parking guidance, transit options, and recommended affiliates for hotels and restaurants to enhance your visit.

Venue overview: First Avenue is a legendary Minneapolis venue complex featuring two main performance spaces. The Mainroom hosts large-scale concerts, while the 7th St Entry offers a closer, club-like atmosphere. Both spaces share the same address and nearby facilities, and both benefit from downtown Minneapolis’ vibrant dining and hotel scene.

Seating and capacity: Mainroom approximates 1,550 seats for general admission or reserved seating depending on the show configuration. 7th St Entry seats up to about 250 and is known for standing-room configurations and intimate performances. Seating details vary by event, and we encourage fans to confirm seating options when purchasing tickets.

Parking: First Avenue does not operate its own dedicated lot. Parking is available in nearby ramps and lots. Look for options within a short walk of the venue, with some options offering evening or event-specific pricing. Arrive early to secure a convenient spot and allow time for entry queues.

Transit: The venue sits in downtown Minneapolis with multiple Metro Transit bus routes serving the area. The Warehouse District light rail station is within easy reach, making rail access a straightforward option for many attendees. If you’re using public transit, plan your trip around event times and nearby stops.

Nearby hotels and dining: Downtown Minneapolis offers a wide selection of hotels within a short distance, plus a variety of dining options before or after shows. For convenience, consider staying close to the Warehouse District or downtown core and explore local eateries ranging from casual pubs to contemporary cuisine. We highlight affiliated partners for easy booking and recommendations when available.

Notable notes: First Avenue is deeply rooted in Minnesota music history, with ties to Prince and the Purple Rain era. Zombie-themed events like Zombie Pub Crawls have highlighted the venue's flexible spaces in the past, contributing to its enduring reputation as a versatile live music destination.
