Turf Club

Originally opened in the 1940s, Turf Club is a historic landmark in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, MN. Now owned and operated by First Avenue, the independent venue presents live music nearly every night of the week. Turf Club is both a local hangout and a destination for some of the best touring artists in the country.

The main stage at Turf Club, located at street level, is a 350-capacity performance space featuring a long wooden bar, an oak floor, and decorations including old posters and photographs.

In the basement level, there is a more intimate space called the Clown Lounge. This small, wood-paneled room has leather booths for seating, a bar, and a stage that hosts a variety of live performances. The basement also includes offices and a green room.

During shows, the Turf Club’s kitchen offers a food menu including wings, burgers, and sandwiches.
