Went to a concert at the 7th street entry. Pretty sweet spot to see a band, super small but in an awesome way. They had a small bar and stage but an overall sweet spot to see a band you like.

Best venue to see live music. Park at Mayo Clinic Square underground and you only have to run across the street if you go in the winter. Just went to G Love and it was a great show.
