The Fillmore Minneapolis opens its doors February 12. The 36,000-square-foot venue features two floors and an 1,850-person capacity. Box seats and premium tickets are on the venue’s mezzanine level alongside upscale food and beverage offerings and dedicated hospitality.
The Fillmore Minneapolis expects to produce 175 annual concerts and events and is operated by Live Nation, a longtime promoter in the Twin Cities. Live Nation currently operates Varsity Theater in Dinkytown and has produced shows at Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, Xcel Energy Center, Target Center, The Armory and The Hennepin Theaters.
The music hall will open with the first of three sold-out nights of music by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, followed by sold-out dates from Motion City Soundtrack.
Trax Burgers and Bar opens February 3, 2020. Trax will serve customers lunch, dinner, and late-night hospitality seven days a week.
Trax will be a new player in the hand-crafted burger scene, with a menu using ingredients sourced locally, from farms and pastures within 200 miles of the restaurant. Local providers include Ranchers Legacy Meat company; PJ Murphy’s bakery; produce from Bix Produce in St. Paul; cheese from Grantsberg, Wisconsin’s Burnett Dairy Cooperative; eggs from Locally Laid in Wrenshall; and poultry from Ferndale Market in Cannon Falls.
The beverage program at Trax includes a selection of rotating craft beers on tap. For the initial lineup, customers will find favorites from local breweries including Surly, Indeed, Insight, and Fulton, as well as taps from other regional independent breweries. The spirit list will also include Minnesota-made products from local small batch distilleries including 11 Wells Spirits Co., Crooked Water Spirits, and Far North Spirits.
