Cedar-Riverside

A neighborhood in Minneapolis

Cedar-Riverside, known informally as the West Bank, has been a center of Minneapolis music and counterculture since the 1960s, when the blocks around Cedar and Riverside Avenues hosted folk and rock clubs during the same era that drew Bob Dylan to the University of Minnesota nearby. Palmer's Bar, another neighborhood institution, closed in September 2025 after 119 years, but three live-music rooms carry the block forward. The Cedar Cultural Center opened September 16, 1989, as a central venue for live music on the West Bank. It is Minnesota's premiere venue for global music and dance, operating as a nonprofit. In 2014, The Cedar introduced Midnimo, a program that uses music to increase understanding of Muslim and Somali cultures, reflecting the neighborhood's identity as home to the largest Somali diaspora in the U.S. The Cedar also co-launched the Global Roots Festival in 2009, a free annual series featuring international artists touring the U.S. each September. The Cabooze has hosted national and local artists since 1974. It books everything from reggae to metal to jam bands, with an indoor stage and adjacent outdoor plaza that make it a versatile year-round venue. Notable past performers include Sheryl Crow, Gov't Mule, and Snoop Dogg. Acadia Cafe is a casual bar and music venue known for frequent live shows and an approachable neighborhood feel, hosting a wide range of local and touring acts with a focus on indie, punk, and alternative music. It is a good setting to catch newer talent and local acts in a relaxed environment.
