They called it the myth because it isn't for real. Pretty garbage club, glad it closed. more

They don't care who the f*ck you are as long as they got their money they kick you out even though you're over 21 to drink. It's all about money Myth b*tches. Pros: Close to home Cons: Bouncers are shity a*s hell more

Friend and I went there sat night and it was dead like hell ..and don't get me started the crowed mostly asian and very very young. i definitely not recommend it for anyone over 21 Pros: great music , staff were great Cons: the place was simple empty more

I have been to a couple of events at the Myth. I don't think it is a bad location, but Friday's Godsmack concert was the worst concert I have ever been to and I have been to 20-30 concerts. When I saw that they had sold out and then released another limited number of tickets, I should have been alarmed I guess. I bought my tickets ahead of time and paid the Ticketmaster fees in case it sold out. I will NEVER do that again. We spent $50 a piece to get in the door and by the time we got in there we had missed the first band. The line was horrid. Then getting in the door and trying to move was ridiculous. It was so packed it took you forever and a day to even move 5 feet. To actually see the concert or get a drink was harder. We missed half the concert because we couldn't squeeze through the crowd. I have NEVER not been able to get on the floor. They couldn't even begin a mosh pit of any kind on the floor because it was too pack. Now I hear they are being investigated for being over-capacity. Yea, I am pretty sure MANY would have died if there would have been a fire. No way it was safe there. Will I go back to a concert there? Only if I buy the ticket at the door. NEVER a sold out concert again. They were greedy packing that many in there like that. Everyone I talked to complained. I would have rather taken my $100 and gone elsewhere. Pros: Great band Cons: WAY over crowded! more

This was the worst experience I have had at a concert. Im usually not the guy that complains but this was my 6th godsmack concert and close to my 30th concert overall and this is the worst venue EVER by far. The concert was sold out and it was packed. There was no view of the stage at all. There wasnt even room to squeeze to the floor or to the front of the balcony to see. Unless you get there early and do not leave for bathroom or drinks you're stuck watching the concert on the screen. Godsmack was great I hear but the venue is aweful. Pros: Relatively reasonable beer Cons: no view of stage more

I have been reading the reviews and I think people are just looking for a reason to complain. First, the parking. There is plenty. Over 1,000 spaces then by maplewood mall. Altogether, over 4,000 spaces to accomodate a club whose capacity is 4,400...for free! If you have to walk two minutes through the mall parking lot and you are upset, ARRIVE EARLIER. Second, the Myth does not and has NEVER overbooked a show. There is a set capacity, and therefore a set number of tickets. The reason Jason Mraz was so crowded, it was SOLD OUT both nights. What did you expect? Next, teen night is 16-20. So those of you complaining about the young girls and how they act, SHUT UP. You know they're 16 cause that's what NITRO is. If you are 18 or older and appalled a this, you should have gone to the 18+ clun night MYTH had EVERY saturday. Front door staff in not incompetant. Nor do they aggresively search anyone. The people searching have over 2 years of experience and are fast and unintrusive. The only time the girls searching would ever say or do anything disrespectful. All night they here "Feel me up more", "I know you like it", and "Check my d!ck, B****, that's where I hid them". Yes, they are called names by male patrons who think women are objects for their entertainment. They are also often grabbed and touched inappropriately. So, if you don't want them to be mean, just treat them with respect. Hell, don't say anything at all they like that too. They are young ladies acting professional and doing their job; which is crucial to your safety. (People would be stunned if they knew how many guns and knives we find in a night. We literally have BOXES full of knives confiscated). Act like adults and I promise they will be nice to you. Drinks in the bathroom: Don't be stupid that's how underage people would consume if we let people in with drinks. Like in stalls, with closed doors, away from people who might try to stop them, like security. DUH. If you want to know wy certain policies are in place, you could ask. Just letting you know. Finally, if a bouncer approaches you, and is being an a$$, keep in mind it is because he thinks you are doing something wrong. Easiest way to deal with it, COMPLY and it will get sorted out, you will get let back in. Worst way to deal; scream, fight, name-call, threaten. If you behave this way, you will be seen as an unstable threat to others and you will not be let back in. There are cameras EVERYWHERE and mangers do not want people kicked out. They will investigate claims and treat you with respect, as long as you keep your cool too. So, in order to have a great time at the Myth, where there IS lots of free parking and overfill lots,be nice, behave, use your damn head Pros: great venue, staff, experience Cons: pricey drinks? more

Three of us went to a Rise Against show in Feb. of 08'. It started out with us walking to the Myth from a nearby hotel, I think it was at least 20 below. We stood in line for at least an hour waiting to get, which is fine, I can handle that. Once we got in, got our drinks and looked around, we saw that the majority of the people that were in the crowd were ages 15 to maybe 18, which made me feel a little uncomfortable about drinking because I tend to get out of control at these events, but that still didn't stop me from having a few. We watched the other bands that opened for Rise, they weren't bad, but when Rise came on, I dragged my friend down into the mosh pit, everything was going fine until I looked back at my friend and her face was covered in bl00d. Some dude knocked her in the nose, giving her a black eye and messing up her nose pretty bad. We crowd surfed to the front to get her to security, who then took her to a back room. I tried to follow, but the chick wouldn't let me. I sat and waited for her for what seemed like an hour. So I freaked out, thought she went to the hospital or something. It turns out that they just cleaned her up and let her on her way. She went back to where we were sitting and was there when I finally found her. I was really upset at how the security treated me. They were very brash and rude, a simple "no" would of been nice, instead that girl literally pushed me out of the room where they took her and slammed the door in my face. I tried explaining that she's my best friend, I am concerned about her and I would just stand by the door, that they wouldn't have even noticed me. Instead I got the boot and had to sit there wondering about my friend. I think that's pretty cruel to do to someone. We are going to another Rise Against concert this Friday. I hope it will be better this time, or I will not be returning. The Myth should really consider having 18 and over or 21+ concerts, I wouldn't want my kid to go to a show where adults get wasted and out of control. I feel bad for those younger kids who witness adults acting like sloppy drunks. It also makes it easy for underage drinking to go unnoticed, security is everywhere but they can't watch 100's of people at once. Pros: Good music, that's about it Cons: A**hole security, crowded, no 18 & over or 21+ shows more

I been to the myth several times,not impressed. The Mirage was a better club for music( F*CK the Rock is better). No straight line of view to the stage unless you want to stand in the hallways or stairs or get into the pit that takes 20 minutes to get out of if you want a overpriced weak asss drink. If you are under 6' tall you most likley wont even see the stage. Reason for the tv screens all over. Sound is only Ok in the pit in the middle. Every show I have seen was overbooked, no room to move around,a hassle to get a drink. On the good side no bouncer has harassed me. The bartenders 5uck assss! You guys want tips right ? why such a cockkattitude? I have thought about getting a vip room but the sound would 5uck up there worse than downstairs. If I go out to see music I now just got to the Rock or Station 4. Pros: its not in downtown mpls Cons: everytime I go something 5ucks more

1st: to people complaining about the security, heres a thought. they are doing theyre jobs. they are responsible for keeping everyone inside (including themselves) safe. 2nd: parking. they have a BIG parking lot and if you ask anyone where you are allowed to park they will tell you. if its cold bring a coat it takes a lil time to get in but what do u want them to do? have em personally park ur car?! every concert venue requires a lil walking and this is no different. 3rd: the drinks in the bathroom policy. try ASKING them why they arent allowed. its because its an all ages concert venue for the most part and they dont trust you not to give alcohol to minors! some may scoff but we all know ppl that do it. Lastly I think people need to realize that the Myth isn't perfect and neither are the ppl that work there but what place is, if you give them respect they give you respect. They are doing their jobs just like the rest of us. Pros: Good Staff, good concerts Cons: pricey drinks more

I have many younger friends, so I attended a teen night at the Myth. I will never do that again. First off, Mothers: Do you know what your daughters are leaving the house in? The majority of the girls were wearing bras and underwear only. Another large section were wearing tiny skirts or shorts, and shirts with their mid-drift hanging out, which I don't find particularily offensive, but I only counted a handfull of sensible girls wearing jeans, and a relatively conservative top. Now, what girls choose to wear is completely up to them, but at a teen night where there is a mix of 16-20 year olds? If a 20 year old male walks up to a 16 year old girl, many people would say IF anything happens between them, that's illegal. To the staff of the Myth: Do you really want that on your name? If I hadn't watched it happened and only heard about it, I would still be appalled and never want to come to your establishment. Second off, going off what I previously said. As I was dancing, I was watching a group of four girls dancing. A group of guys walked up to them and started dancing with them. Now that's what clubbing is all about. I understand that. But I watched one of the kids begin to rub down the girl he was with, and she became extremely uncomfortable and walked away. This girl was not in a bra and underwear, and I would consider her outfit to be relatively conservative compared to others. As a young woman, this tells me that there is no strenghth in numbers like we were so oftenly preached. What can women do to have a little fun and be used so easily? When I can't even go to the Myth when the target audience is 16-20 and feel safe, I'd hate to see what a regular night at the Myth is like. On the other hand, the DJ was awesome. He interacted occasionally and played good music to dance to. The scene was very fun. Pros: Played good music Cons: Kind of crowded for the space more

At a recent Flogging Molly concert with my girlfriend I checked both of our coats as it was unfortunately too cold to stand outside in the line for very long without them (and of course we had to walk a few blocks from the mall parking lot since that was as close as we could get). What I didn't know when I handed our coats over was that the Myth happened to have just put a new person in charge of the coat check. Apparently the person was just hanging coats on to the racks without regard to the order of the numbers they were handing out. When the concert was over, this lack of organization quickly caused some significant issues. For every person with a ticket, the 2 people handling the coat check booth had to look through all of the coats one-by-one (because they weren't in order) which took upwards of 5 minutes per person. This meant that there were 2,000 of us sitting around for over 2 hours waiting for our coats. This is the icing on the cake of bad experiences at Myth which I now vow I will never step foot in ever again. If you are a club in Minnesota you should probably have 2 things to compensate for the fact that it is really, really cold: 1. a well-functioning coat check and 2. accessible parking. Myth has neither. Pros: You don't notice that the sound is bad because there are sweat-and-beer covered 15-year olds attempting to mosh next to you. Cons: Everything more

Tonight was my 3rd and last time going to the Myth. I had more fun at B-Dub's then I did at the show. The entire area is covered with harassing cops. We got pulled over, and our driver drunk tested... for no reason. After the 15 minute freezing walk from parking illegally in the mall then come's entering the Myth. I should have remembered to bring some lube to put on the bouncer's fingers before he started shoving them up me. The bartender was cool, he only took 20 mins. to serve me, and only cried a little bit when I pulled out my credit card instead of cash. The sound was sub-par and there was water dripping on the stage from the pipes above. The place was really packed, and they weren't letting much fresh air run through. I was told by some security to put my shirt back on or else I would be kicked out. The worst part was trying to get my coat after the show. It took them 30 minutes, after the show ended for them to form a line for coat check. The show ended at 12:00, and I got to the front of the line at 1:15 to find out that they didn't know where my coat was, and that I could call them later to try and find it. I really like driving home in my sweaty t-shirt in the middle of winter, without my favorite hoody. I am sure with the fine, intelligent, polite staff... surely I will get my jacket back......... I hope this place goes bankrupt... I wouldn't go back to the Myth even if my favorite bands were playing there for free. Pros: Provides Income for Roid-Raging Staff Cons: Everything Else more

The Myth has to be the BEST club I have ever been to. The staff are always nice, the bouncers are friendly and I love going to Club Nitro on Fridays, teens need a night to have fun too! more

I saw Lenny Kravitz and Kraftwerk. Parking: I had to park far away (but you have to at 1st ave also, right?), plus it was free. Bouncers: Some looked like they were 'roid-raging, but they didn't annoy me. Sound: Excellent, on the floor the bass vibrated me Crowded: Yes, but you can find some areas to get away. Far better than Roy Wilkins or the Target Center. It seems more updated than 1st Ave, but 1st Ave seems to get better bands. I haven't been to the Excel. Pros: Sound, free parking, location Cons: A little pricey and crowded maybe? It's a concert, what do you expect? more

I've seen a few shows at this venue. All metal. In the past, I've simply thought of the myth as simply a crappy modern club. But yesterday(Dragonforce 12-12-08) the crossed the damned line. If you've ever been to a metal show, you know that moshpits break out at the drop of a hat. During one of these such moshpits, I was pushed up front. Apparently being pushed up front at a metal show is a no-no, because the security gaurds on the barrier pushed me back by my head and said something to the affect of "Get the F*** back a**hole". I wasn't about to be kicked out, so I got the eff back. That was the first band of three. After that, I went to the bar to get a glass of water. It was a $1.50, or so I was told, When I looked at the reciept, I was charged $6.00. The bartender, was drunk, very drunk. I eventually got him to give me two redbulls. Later in the night, before dragonforce's set, I go outside to roll a ciggarette(bad habbit, I know). Once the security gaurd in the smoking area see's my papers, he tells me that I wasn't suppose to get those in the club, I show him that I'm simply rolling tobacco; He takes the papers anyway. At that point. I left. I really hope this club goes bankrup. Generall mean security, drunk bartenders, and lame atmosphere. Pros: Parking is painless. Its big for a club in this area Cons: The staff, a bunch of blithering idiots. more

I went to see Jason Mraz as well and could not have been more disappointed at the venue. I was surprised to find out that the Myth got the award for best of the city dance club, but once I thought more about it, that?s all the Myth is, a dance club and NOT a venue for concerts. The acoustics were absolutely atrocious which made it impossible to understand a single word Jason Mraz was singing. I could not see anything either and relied on the high-tech flat screens that were all over the place, however, the video technology was so inadequate that Jason?s face was nothing but a white blob in the middle of the screen. Then, there is the parking issue. The Myth advertises on its website that there is plenty of parking there as well as at the mall which is absolutely UNTRUE. The mall parking is limited to a very small area between Macys and Kohl?s and if your park some other place by mistake, you can be sure your car will be towed. There is no warning of such kind on the website. I believe this qualifies as false advertising. Also, one of the employees said that they had sold more tickets than usual for the Jason Mraz?s concert that leads me to believe they oversold the club?s capacity and put everyone?s lives at risk. I will NEVER go back to the Myth and want my money back. Pros: non Cons: everything more

I also went to the Jason Mraz concert on November 19th, 2008. Worst experience ever. (1) There is not free parking for more than 5% of customers. Everyone else has to park at Maplewood Mall, only to have mall police say "you can't park here." There are only a few small sections available for Myth patrons. (2) The acoustics were worse than listening to a concert in a high school gym. Nobody even knew what song was being played. (3) The concert was oversold and I could not see the stage; had to stand against a wall near the exit door on a below-freezing evening. (4) The so-called "manager" took zero accountability for the situation when I complained, and behaved in an extremely unprofessional manner. This club is bush-league, amateur hour at its worst. I can't imagine anyone paying anything to go there. I'm going to ask for my money back. By the experience I had with management, however, I don't expect anything. Shame on Jason Mraz for letting his management book this venue. I'm done with him, too. My final thoughts on the Myth? No class atmosphere. Unprofessional staff. Trashy clientele. Cheap design. Crappy sound. Doesn't deliver what's promised in ads. ZERO stars. Stay home, or go to a real club in the city. Pros: None Cons: Sound, parking, overcrowding, staff, atmosphere more

I went to see Jason Mraz November 19th, 2008. My fiance and I were very excited to see one of our favorite artists that night, but the excitement quickly turned into a very unpleasant experience. I should start off by saying that if I could give this place ZERO stars I would. Contrary to what the Myth Nightclub would tell you, there is NOT ample parking. We had to park quite a long distance from the venue in the mall's parking lot located to the east of the club. It was at least a 5 minute walk to the doors in the freezing cold. Not fun. But it gets worse. As soon as we got through the doors we realized that they had WAY over sold the concert. There was nowhere to go and it was quite a chore to try to push through the crowd to get anywhere. The WORST part about the night was that we couldn't see ANYTHING! I was lucky if I could see the top of Jason Mraz's hat once in a while. I feel even worse for my fiance because she could not see anything but that back of people's heads the ENTIRE night. I mean, you wouldn't go to a movie and have to accept not being able to see. Why should a concert be any different? We did try our best to find a spot to watch from though. We went to every conceivable part of the venue...upstairs and down and could not find a place to see anything. Horrible. I want my money back! DO NOT go see a concert at this place...it was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a concert. more

Halloween! Myth marketed this fantasy fun party with good music and great prizes. Wrong! The music was sooooo bad that my 9 yr. old son can mix better! They must not know what real dance music is? The music was only new and old radio songs mixed at a 6 beat. And every gangster that was looking for trouble was there!Six -dollar beers and Twelve -dollar shots.(You've got to be kidding). And the shots were only half-full.I have toured the world of the best electronic music there is; and have been to the greatest events. But my wife and I haven't been out in nearly a year and thought this would be a great place to get out and dance as they posted. Returning from Iraq 2 months ago and reuniting the sparks for a holiday, you think you would be appreciated as a customer and want to come back. NO!!!! The bartenders were rude, mean, and disrespectful to me and my wife. We had more fun at Whitecastle. I really pray to see a definite Owner/ Management change. And an employee change. And hope whoever owns this place gets serious training in customer satisfaction and service. Or I,who is in the process, will put them out of business!!!! Pros: NONE Cons: Disrespectful Employees, Bad Management, Terrible Service, Music Out of Date more
