The Brick opened in Minneapolis' warehouse district with a show by Jane's Addiction. It was well-attended but reviews of the new venue are not encouraging. The sight lines, in particular, are getting roasted on social media and on the new site "The Brick MN Sucks."

Putting an end to Sunday night under-21 events is part of Minneapolis' effort to reduce closing time crime at downtown nightclubs. This summer has seen several downtown shootings in the wee hours. City officials are also working on making bars' liquor licenses subject to more conditions.

The Business Journal reports crews are installing exterior signage on the new downtown grocery store that sits on the corner of Hennepin Avenue and 12 Street South. Lunds broke ground on the project last summer.

First Avenue, 7th Street Entry and the Cabooze all made Pollstar's list of the 100 top venues in the world. Downtown Minneapolis' iconic rock club First Avenue took sixth place. The rankings are based on ticket sales.

After just seven-months, the Business Journal reports Howl at the Moon Minneapolis has shuttered its doors. The dueling piano bar was in direct competition with the nearby The Shout House. White paper now covers the windows and the sign has already been removed from the building.

The owners of Bootleggers, one of two nuisance nightclubs in downtown Minneapolis, have agreed to close by Oct. 1, according to the Star Tribune. Earlier this month, city officials threatened to revoke the liquor license of both Bootleggers and Envy because of violations and unpaid citations. The owners of Envy have until Aug. 27 to decide if it will voluntarily close.

Poor sight lines and long waits in the rain are among complaints fans have been leveling at a new downtown nightclub since Jane's Addiction gave the inaugural show on Monday. Now the club is apologizing and offering refunds.
