Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Turf Club

1601 University Avenue

Saint Paul, MN 55104

Set along University Avenue between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, the venue’s central location makes it easy to plan a night out across the Twin Cities.

• Parking: Street parking is available in the surrounding area.
• Public Transit: Accessible via the Green Line light rail, with a stop nearby on University Avenue.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup and dropoff are available along University Avenue.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes early. You’ll have time to find street parking or hop off the Green Line, grab a drink, and settle into a great spot before the opener. Early arrivals are especially helpful for general admission shows if you want rail space near the stage or one of the limited tables.

While the venue is indoors, keep winter weather in mind when traveling and parking — conditions can affect street availability and travel times. If you’re meeting friends, use University Avenue as a clear pickup/dropoff point and consider transit to avoid the hunt for a spot on busy nights.

If you’re heading to the Clown Lounge, note that there are stairs to the basement performance space. Comfortable shoes make it easier to move between the main floor and the Clown Lounge if you’re catching multiple sets.

Venue Navigation

The Turf Club’s layout is simple and fan-friendly: an upstairs main room with a stage and classic wood bar, plus the Clown Lounge downstairs with its own stage and bar. The intimate design means you’re never far from the music, the bar, or the merch.

You’ll find a full bar and restaurant service with a new menu during shows, and a merchandise stand is typically available when artists are on site. If you plan to bounce between the main room and the Clown Lounge, allow a few extra minutes to navigate the stairs and find your next favorite vantage point.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Get there early to secure a table or your ideal spot near the stage.
• If you’re catching a basement set in the Clown Lounge, plan a few extra minutes for the stairs.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it: arrive early to enjoy the Turf Club’s full bar and new menu before the opening act. With the venue’s capacity of 350 and general admission layout, early arrivals help you snag a prime spot and soak in the vintage charm of the main bar.

Want a different vibe? Check the Turf Club schedule for jazz nights and intimate performances in the Clown Lounge downstairs. If you’re attending with a group, use a simple meet-up plan on University Avenue or the nearby Green Line stop — it’s an easy landmark and a smooth way to coordinate arrivals.

Accessibility

Accessibility accommodations vary by event. Please review your event details and contact the venue directly — or reach out to Ticket Purchase support — in advance to confirm available accessibility options.
