If you don't have time to catch a show, it's worth walking by the venue to check out the star wall and play a few notes on the piano outside the venue.

Right next to First Avenue, The Depot Tavern is the perfect pre-show meetup or post-show wind-down. With a laid-back vibe, solid food, and drinks flowing late, it’s a go-to spot to keep the night going. Bonus: It’s connected to the venue, so you’re always just steps away from the action.
