The Turf Club is a historic landmark in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, MN. Originally opened as a supper club and dancehall in the 1940s, the room has seen it all, from two-steppin’ to grunge, and everything in between.
The Turf Club features live music nearly every night of the week, and its charm lies in the fact that it is both a neighborhood hang and a destination for some of the best touring artists in the country. Located between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, this 350-cap venue boasts a stage and bar upstairs and a cozy basement bar and stage in the Clown Lounge.
The venue is owned and operated by First Avenue, and its commitment to independent and local music remains truer now than ever.
Artikal was Amazing!! It was good to see them headline. Very down to earth bunch of people. I talked to everyone in the band minus Logan, it wasn’t because she wasn’t available to interact with fans…. She was kinda swarmed be the crowd in St Paul. Maybe next time Logan, boys, you were awesome.
I went because my brother (in Houston TX) asked me to go, he was willing to pay for my ticket! I don't really go out anymore, like ever, so I was not excited to have to drive to St. Paul, but at least the Turf Club doesn't take you close to the Grand C****o Arena (aka the Xcel). They were exactly what I needed! I had to tell my brother that he was right and it hurt a bit, but they are really great to watch! IYKYK what I mean when they are FUNNY! I highly recommend 12/10 would go again.
I first saw Birdtalker in Nashville in 2016 at the Bluebird and have been a fan ever since! The band brought the same warmth and energy I remembered, filling the venue with songs that felt both familiar and brand new. But it was the way they ended the show that truly made the night unforgettable. Stripping it all back, they gathered in the center of the room and played acoustic, in the round. No mics, no amps—it felt like we were right back in Nashville. It was intimate, emotional, and absolutely beautiful.
Good Terms was f*cking awesome! The second band, Have Mercy? Their instrumentals were fine, but man, I could NOT hear the lead singer’s vocals whenever he yelled AWAY from the mic, so a huge disappointment. Wish someone would’ve said something to him after the first song lol
But Emery, EMERY!? THEY. F*CKING. KILLED. IT!!!! Exactly as I would’ve heard from the album as I had first heard it back in 2013 via Spotify lol
Basically, excellent live!
And the rest of the venue was actually pretty decent, not too crowded, wonderful atmosphere upstairs and down, and wonderful staff
LOVE this band. Drove 5 hours from southern Wisconsin to see them for the second time. Very talented members, lots of energy, great selection of Zeppelin tunes. The venue was packed. They entertained us for two hours. I have nothing but positive comments. Keep rockin' and please come to Madison or Milwaukee!!!
Easily one of the greatest shows I've ever been to. Trevor Powers was in total command of the room; you couldn't take your eyes off the stage. He was pouring his whole heart into this performance and it showed. I might have cried just a little when he played "17." And then he was so sweet—complimenting the opening artist, giving hugs to the guys on instruments, blowing kisses to the audience at the end with the biggest smile on his face. And that just made it all the more enjoyable. If he ever wants to play in the Twin Cities again, I'll be there. Go see him!
Wow! El Drifte was really great, an unexpected delight. Church of Cash instruments and voice were very good. Good line up, lots of fun, great venue. Definitely will follow and see again. My only disappointment was that the woman backup singer was distracting with too much flailing around.
Awesome as always. Band was on, sound was great song selection was good I only wish they played Dogmaniacal but you can’t get everything this right! Love these guys keep it up!!
Also, kudos to event staff they are wonderful as always I love the Turf Club!!

I was NOT in attendance at this concert; however, I saw the band at the District in Sioux Falls, SD, on Bad Wolves' tour. I want the band to know they literally STOLE THE SHOW and made many, many new fans that night (myself included). Band members were so positive and friendly. They mingled in the crowd, were willing to take pics, etc. I truly hope they come back to the Dakotas again soon!!!!!!!!
Weakened Friends is one of my favorite bands, they were the opening act for Slothrust. Since they were close by, I took the opportunity to see them with my 2 adult children. The show was at the Turf Club in St. Paul. An old small venue from the 40s which is also a bar. Weakened Friends played for about 45 minutes, but they played all my favorites. Thier bass player, Annie Hoffman, pulled double duty and played bass for Slothrust also. I'm not reviewing Slothrust, but it was a fun and wild show. The Turf Club was packed and hot, but it was a great evening with the kids. I would go see other shows there for sure. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of parking around. We parked on street. Thanks to Weakened Friends for a wonderful event!
This was literally the best night of my life until I see Moon Walker again! It was so much fun and I loved being able to meet Harry at the end of the night and get a pic with them. Harry is so nice! The whole evening was inspirational and motivational. I couldn’t be happier!
The performance part was great! I heard about these guys on the radio and was super excited to see them live.. the bummer part was their personalities.. they ended the concert and let fans buy merchandise and were signing things and taking pictures. We had bought shirts and when we finally got up to them after waiting in line to meet them and chat with them and I said a whole two words until the lead guitarists completely blew me off and then people cut right in front of me to buy merchandise from him.
He sounded great and the venue was nice because they had a waitress. Very small turnout unfortunately for the artist. Assume that’s why he didn’t play his last song, which just happened to be my favorite. Will see him again…But I’d sure hope that next time he considered that the people that came to see him play and stayed until the end are fans and deserve as much of his energy as a packed house.
The dirty nil was excellent. The lyrics where crisp. The audience could hear what he was saying. The lead singers vocal range was very impressive. I had not heard about the Dirty Nil. But I have downloaded their music. Danial Romano music was enjoyable however I couldn’t hear the lyrics. I didn’t know what they were saying. I will also download his music so I can learn more about the band. I thought th turf club is an excellent venue. Love the vibe.
Another awesome show by Delta Rae!! Great intimate venue put everyone super close. We attended the VIP event before the show and got two private performances, Q&A with the band, picture opportunities, and swag. They are so fan focused. Highly recommend seeing them and getting the VIP package.
This was the first concert i ever went to alone, and is the absolute best concert ive ever been to. Awesome stage presence, energetic performance, crowd was super stoked, i went home and listened to their whole discography on repeat for months, now theyre one of my favorite bands. I will see them everytime they come to the twin cities.
1349 played a phenomenal show! Tight, aggressive, and raw. They put on a great show, too, and really know how to stir up & draw in the room! If you have the opportunity to see them, do it! 1349 are one of the very few, True Norwegian Black Metal bands still out there!!! 1349 put on a 5+-star show; however, the sound could have been clearer, wich is obviously no fault of the band, yet I cannot say whether this was a limitation of the room's acoustics or the fault of the engineer.
Awesome show !!!!
For peace band from Guam was astounding!
Can’t say enough about The Reis Brothers. They are a sibling duo out of Clear Water Beach Florida , that have a groovy down to earth sound and a great message in their lyrics!
Keep an eye out your going to see these guys blow up and you can say I told you first.
Iya Terra laid it down to the ground! From their earth shattering drum beats and bass line to Nathan Feinstein incredible voice still proves why they are on the rise to being one of the best Reggae bands out there!
Their cover of Black Sabbath’s War Pigs was simply out of this world. Love the way they mash it up.
In a nutshell if you haven’t seen anyone of these groups make time for your soul and go enjoy the positive messages they bring!
Turf club was a great intimate venue with booming sound!
Much Reispect and thank you for a blessed evening ❤️💛💚
As I have told everyone I know check out this band they were unbelievable. They were totally in sync with one another. They totally kicked out as always. Tatiana is amazing and of course gorgeous absolutely beautiful. Keep it up you guys rock hope to see you back in Minnesota real soon I will definitely be there!!!! See you in the pit metal brothers and Sisters🏴☠️
I really enjoyed the intimate concert with Martin Furey. His voice and multiple instruments were a Joy to listen to again. He sang some songs he was known for when he was with the High Kings, some songs from his solo CDs, and a few folk songs both American and Irish. Top notch performance.
