Spring Park

A city in the Minneapolis & St. Paul area

Spring Park is a small Lake Minnetonka community west of Minneapolis, and its live-music scene runs almost entirely through one address. Back Channel Brewing Co. is a destination brewery and taproom on Lake Minnetonka at 4787 Shoreline Drive. The taproom runs Live Music Saturdays from 6:30 to 9:30 pm, drawing Twin Cities acts like 3 Quarter Country, a trio playing acoustic country, soul, and groove with a focus on vocal harmonies. The brewery leans toward lagers, IPAs, and imperial stouts, and the indoor taproom doubles as the stage space on weekend nights. Outside, a large patio overlooks the lake with ample seating. The calendar goes beyond Saturdays: Oktoberfest features live polka music and food trucks, and the brewery hosts events including a Pride Festival. For anyone on or near the lake looking for live local music in a relaxed, waterside setting, Back Channel is the one stop in town.
