Ground Zero Nightclub

This venue offers great drinks and vibrant music along with an alternative crowd. If you are someone who loves a good night out on the town, this is the place for you. Bring cash as it is a cash only entry and bar. Cheers!

If you find a weekend night in Minneapolis, I highly recommend going here. I've been many bars but never to a place quite like this.

An amazing club but definitely not for everyone. They have love DJs and dancers every Saturday night. The atmosphere is great and the patrons are wonderful. There are some adult performances that definitely make this place the wrong venue for many people.

Here for Halloween night. LOVE the atmosphere and vibes here and drinks are decent. But they just let WAYYYY too many people in, to the point you could dance or even stand anywhere without shoving through an ocean of people. They were SEVERELY understaffed, with one bartender per 50+ people, meaning it took over 45m just to get water or a drink. We ended up leaving early because we just couldn't do anything due to the amount of people. And when we left there was a massive line out the door and they were STILL letting people in. They're willing to undestaff and make a fire code violation because they gotta get that $30 cover charge per person, but once they're in the door, they don't care. Not coming back

As a trans female from Australia, and I travel all around the US and Canada and Europe and coming from a former military and law-enforcement background and working as a fetish model and content creator. The impression on this club that the Front door staff security were very unwelcoming, which doesn’t give an element of attracting people visitors to come to the club. The Cover charge at the front door was $15. Horrible service by a blonde older female bartender that I received attitude from when ordering a drink who served me a water when I was ordering a Coke then she gave me attitude, you’ll have water. I finally was able to get a Coke and was charged $5 for a post mix coke. Which is ridiculous. There’s are constant bad reviews about of this bartender and staff, especially the rude unwelcoming behavior that you get from this club, especially it being a gay nightclub, sort of. I immediately left After I finished My drink. I wasn’t impressed with club atmosphere and the element as someone tried to spike my soda. Not a safe club if this situation happens. Staff, they really don’t care about your welfare or your safety even though the security they oblivious to the things that are going on and not really doing their job.

I want to say I enjoy it more but after 4-5 visits I think I can say I have somewhat decent impression by now? Have gone on both Fridays and Saturdays now, cover feels a little excessive and $9 shot is a little nuts as its a lot of the same music every weekend, but I can generally get over that as my main intention is to meet people and dance. That being said, for having such a flashy dance floor, people don't seem to like it much if you want to do more than simply swaying side to side. Every now and then I'd find people that actually get into it but most people generally were hostile. I'm not expecting a dance circle or anything crazy but it's a dance floor HELLO? Pretty disappointed overall, I've had one decent night there so far, the other two were neutral at best. Bar staff seemed really upset whenever I asked for water cups. I see a solution involving water dispensers placed around the room with disposable cups and trash cans placed around as I've seen other bars in Minneapolis do. Vibe was weird? This one's harder to explain but it seems like its inappropriate to talk to anyone? There are of course handfuls of people where that was not the case for but this does not seem like the kind of place to go if your intention is to meet people. If you go with a group on a less crowded night it might be okay, just make sure to pregame because again it's a $10 cover every night I've been there and the drinks don't get cheaper than I believe a $7 shot? Overall I was really hyped when I found out about this place from friends but now after going several times I honestly don't know how much I'll come back except maybe for certain events or with friends from time to time. Maybe it's just not for me but feels like there's a lot of lost potential. Very cool decorations though.

I have to say I was very disappointed in the staff at Ground Zero. The atmosphere and decor was different and interesting but the music sucked as well as the drinks for how expensive they were, and the staff were very unwelcoming and rude. My group arrived at around 10:15 Saturday night on November 1st and had been there no more than an hour when one of my friends in my group had a fainting spell or seizure, we are not really sure what happened, one moment he was standing next to me at the bar ready to order a drink for my friend ,his fiancé, in the group and the next thing I know he’s on the ground and he hit his head pretty hard, there was absolutely no drugs and very little alcohol in his system, luckily he woke within a few seconds we brought him to a chair to get him some water and so he could rest for a bit while we assessed him, his vision was blurry and we could see his skin was clammy and face was pale, before we could ask him if he was okay or get him water two staff rudely came up to us and kicked us out, stating "it’s time to go." "you need to leave." And "You guys gotta get outta here." not even bothering to ask if he was okay or needed medical attention, my friend at this point was still recovering from the episode and his vision still wasn’t back to normal and he was still feeling dizzy and faint so we had to basically hold onto him and guide him as we walked out, myself and my friends are very disappointed and upset with how we were treated as we all paid for the cover charge, drinks, were absolutely not causing any problems or doing anything wrong, and were just looking for a good night out. He was also already embarrassed enough with what happened and for them to kick us out as if he was trying to fight someone or was causing problems was very unprofessional, we were going to be leaving anyway once he got some water in and he could walk and see, I will not be going here again and will be telling people to not waste their time here.
