The Pourhouse

Came here to see Marsh perform last Friday. He was amazing and it was an epic event! The venue is small but not bad. The entrance was a bit tricky to find, and there is a lot of construction going on in the area at the moment. The beverage service was good and pretty fast. They had a 2-for-1 special going on, which my wallet appreciated greatly. However, the Long Island Iced Tea, which costs $16, is not exactly worth it in my opinion.

One of my fav spot in downtown for late night clubbing, live band, live shows, good dj, mixed crowd, multiple bars, decent cleanliness, attentive bouncers, coat checkin service, nominal entry charges and Private seating area too. I have been to this place multiple times for multiple occasions like Halloween, new year and have always had good time. You can get decent parking spots within few blocks. Pretty safe and connected from metro too.

The good: amazing sound. visual set up. strong drinks The bad: oversold, overcrowded. i would have paid more for a ticket if there would be breathing room. Even walkways and the edge of the bar were crowded. No free water as well as overselling makes me feel the venue does not care about my safety. They also wouldn’t give you your coat from coat check unless you were leaving which was weird The ugly: security said I couldn’t bring my cigs inside, so I asked if they could hold onto them for the show. They looked me in the eye with a smile and said “of course” but then they smoked them all and acted like I never gave them to them. Didn’t realize cigarettes were illegal here! Gonna get revenge if I ever go back >:

Went for their reventón event and the DJ was phenomenal. However, it was hard to enjoy because the place was riddled with creeps. My friends and I felt super uncomfortable and kept getting harassed. Bartenders just watched as one guy fully tried to force a kiss from my friend and did nothing. The security were also unnecessarily rude and utterly pointless because they were not even seen around the dance floor. All they were good for was yelling at you at coat check. Do not waste your money coming here.

Event was fun and music was good, but after someone threw a half full can at my head I was the one kicked out from the event for confronting the person and asking why they felt the need to throw drinks at people. And I was sober.

So the only reason I went here was for an event. I am not going to give it 5 stars since I didn't try any of the food or drink. It was a nice enough place. Good overall atmosphere. Very large. A lot larger then I thought it was upon first entering. The second story has a pretty cool quiter space/room called the hideaway. Also second story has a balcony type enclosure around the dance area and the stage which is neat. Also has a pirate theme going for it which I started pretty fun. Staff seemed very curtious and when someone puked all over and friends and onlookers including myself were trying to help clean it up they insisted not to worry about it. That they would take care of it.. So overall fun day. But the event and dancing were what made this memorable to me not the venue.

Beautiful venue with great sound system. If you are a performer, keep in mind that you may not get paid from this venue. I'm a local comedian and was solicited to perform here a couple weeks ago and still have not been paid. I've done dozens of shows over the years and usually get paid immediately after the show. Not only have I not been paid, but they also stopped responding to my messages after the show. Do business with The Pourhouse at your own risk.

I was at this venue for a concert & not only was the sound right on but the whole venue is awesome! A ton of room. Awesome speakeasy vibe. 2 floors. I had the VIP experience so I was able to explore it all & I must say it was all really cool! There's tables, big comfortable booths, couches, a stage & dance floor, good food, good service! If I have the chance to go back I definitely will! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Easily the best tacos I've had. I'm not sure what it was but it was spicy good. Fun place for a drink or two before moving onto other things downtown. Venue is pretty nice. Would come back.

My husband and I went to Pourhouse to watch the Vikings game on their huge projection screen. They had great beer and food specials, delicious boneless buffalo wings, and a laid back atmosphere. Our server rocked, too.
