Opened in March of 1980, the 7th Street Entry is the smaller venue version of the adjoining First Ave Mainroom. Smaller in capacity (around 250), 7th Street has been a mainstay for up-and-coming band for the better part of three decades.

Hüsker Dü's Land Speed Record was recorded live here on August 15, 1981. It was released on New Alliance Records (Mike Watt and D. Boon of the Minutemen's label).

During the heyday of the Minneapolis punk scene, bands such as Hüsker Dü, the Replacements, and Soul Asylum played here on a regular basis. It's still a great place to nurse a PBR tallboy.
