Reviews of Kitty Cat Klub (Night Club)

Till

Interior is super nice! But everything else is mediocre. Staff is unfriendly, music depends on the night and most importantly: prices are not reasonable. You'd think that if you come to the party 1h before the club closes you would get a cheaper cover than other people who have been dancing for several hours. But no, even if you show up 30 min before the kitty cat club closes, you still have to pay full price...

I've been here several times and had a good time each time. Cozy atmosphere in the couch area and cool dance floor for those who want to dance all night.

Hello

Fine place, however the person at the door had never seen a passport before and wouldn’t take it as a ID. Then he accepted a voided out of state license as as valid ID. Beware if you’re traveling with a passport, which btw is a totally acceptable form of ID as far as I can tell in Minneapolis for entering bars (MN Statute 340A.504). He said the reason he didn’t want to take a passport is because some people have restrictions on their MN identification cards not allowing them in bars? But, he was fine with a out of state ID that was no longer valid? Idk. I found it extremely unprofessional.

Cool atmosphere, but no beer on tap.

Walking into the Kitty Cat Klub feels like you've gone down the rabbit hole. The space is amazingly decorative and there is tons of comfy seating. They also have a large outdoor patio. It is usually fairly dead before 10p so, if you go early, it can feel like you don't belong there. The drinks are basic and kind of pricy and parking is a huge challenge. Still...it is a memorable experience.

Beautiful decor, very kitschy. Interesting mix of patrons, good staff. Nice layout, and I especially appreciate their mini patio. Good dance floor, solid jams.

James Arroyo Miller

Great interior. Semi private if you want.

Mark Drees

Great dance floor. Cheap tallboys. The atmosphere is sick as Hell.

This is one of my favorite bars in Minneapolis. I love the atmosphere. The lighting is dim and colorful. There are colored light bulbs everywhere. There is random artwork all over the walls, the bar is wood with melted candle wax all over it. The couches are comfortable, large and any person will sink in them. This is a great place for a date and to get together with friends. I love coming here in the winter where I can lounge on the couches with my friends and have some drinks. Parking is not great. It's in Dinkytown, so you'll have to park a few blocks away and walk unless you take the bus. The service here is ok. Some people are friendlier than others. There is a stage and dance floor for live music and dancing. There is a small patio on the side of the bar. They have heat lamps on the fall and winter.

Frank Furgal

Very cool lounge type atmosphere.

Nathan Schreier

Super relaxed and cozy environment, best patio in Dinkytown

Jesse Friend

Kind of pricey cover, other than that cheap drinks and one of the best atmospheres in the cities.

Scott Dryman

Excellent music venue and bar. It's uniqueness is its charm. Comfortable.

Z Makila

Very loud, lots of people just making out on random couches all over the place. Definitely doesn't feel clean.

Peter Reese

Best place to find David Byrne or a supermodel. Or hipster u of m kids.

Lj Bur

Had email several times.!.No reply to that.! Club was cool.. Different..Would go again..

Tom Butala

A unique place that looks like a gypsy could live in. Pretty fun, worth a visit for the atmosphere alone. Not a strip club.

CMS

Favorite live music venue in Dinkytown.

nek namirrem

Neat atmosphere. Decent drinks. Love all the couches and what not.

Gigi Amal

Super cute venue. Very low lit with comfy couches and cute decorations adorn the walls. Nice bartenders, but they don't have much time to chat with how busy they are at times, especially during shows. Overall, a fun and cute venue for live shows. Having room to dance is good too, with a good view of the performers.

Sylvie Pailloux

Interesting ambience

Jessiclaire Wolf

Great ambiance. Nice lounge / drinks place.

Andrew Nelson

Pump lords reside

Keph Zen

This place looks super fun. So many random decorations. Food is average, but drinks are good

Cleo Romain

it’s super average there... usually pretty dead each night unless a HUGE event is going on. they didn’t let us in “just because” we had our cash for the cover charge in our bras.... we were not even drunk but they made jokes and remarks about us that were very inappropriate. ladies aren’t given the adequate amount of pocket space! it’s not our fault and two guys shouldn’t be determining “how drunk we are” based on that..... yikes! we thought it was a progressive place but we were wrong. have been a customer for years but never again!

keith bohnen

good food. good drinks. awesome patio for smokers. one of the craziest looking live music venues out there and i mean that in a good way.

Chris Johnston

HIPSHAKER!

Jess Birken

Love the vibe in here, lots of nooks and couches, fun place to be with friends or see a show. Friendly bar staff, great decor

Ben Koch

I hadn't been here in a while, but recently visited again for a happy hour. It hasn't changed much, which is both great and not so great. Great in the sense that it's still so laid back and very casual. I love that. No so great in that the decor feels old and probably needs a bit of an update. Overall, great place to lounge and hang out.

Jeramiah Higdem

Love this place, the vibe the feel everyhing about this place kicks a**!!

Richard Chasse

I love the decor in this place. When I have company come to the city, this is definitely a stop on the tour

Alex Golubowicz

My experience at the bar was really not the best. Bar tender rolled his eyes at me when I asked for my beer as if he couldn't believe I chose that one. I've worked in the service industry my whole life and I get the eye roll...but never in front of the customer. That pretty much soured my whole experience.

Sarah Kohlmeier

While I have loved the Kitty Kat Club since I was an undergrad, tonight I had the most disappointing experience. I showed my government issued passport at the door, and as a server in the Minneapolis industry, am aware of the legality of it's presentation. The door person proceeded to argue (mockingly) with me when I disagreed with their statement "passports are not accepted in bars." Letting them know I am in the industry myself, and know the state law, they repeatedly continued to tell me "not in bars." I asked if I should leave as they won't accept the "invalid id" and then I was told I could enter the establishment regardless. WHAT? If it is invalid shouldn't I not be served? I would normally brush these issues off, however this door person chose to tell my coworkers who followed me in later that we got into an argument over my passport's validity. This was extremely poor guest service, they could have been much more cordial in handling the situation, they should not have discussed this issue with other guests, and in fact, could have called a manager over. I chose to leave the Kitty Kat Club and all my coworkers (we were out for post-training mingling as we are all staffed to run the new Varsity Theatre). I am extremely frustrated by the lack of professionalism or knowledge from this employee. Please refer to the MN statute below: 340A.503 PERSONS UNDER 21; ILLEGAL ACTS. Subd. 6. Proof of age; defense; seizure of false identification. (a) Proof of age for purchasing or consuming alcoholic beverages may be established only by one of the following: (3) a valid passport issued by the United States.

Jana Guseynova

I absolutely adore this place. The fact that there is live music scheduled every night of the week is impressive. They host local, national, and internationally touring bands which is super cool. The prices are good and its not at all like the college town bars that get hectic and super crowded on the weekends. Love this place.

Abby

The atmosphere! So Gothic, artsy and alluring!

Nemer Alejandro Zain

Great location in Dinkytown but the food was plain.

Karyssa J

Anytime I visit this place, it turns into a hell of a night.

Mitch N

Cool atmosphere and good service

Meg Junkermeier

Fun spot!

H&S

Oh man where do I even start...What a bizzare place. Very old, dated, kinda unsanitary. Larger dance floor than expected. Lots of dark corners for privacy. Icky old couches everywhere. Awesome people watching that's for sure.

Gabriel Douglas

sneaky little bar located in Dinkytown. live music most nights. one of the most unique interiors in Minneapolis, find a nook for you and your friends. pinball, pool, and photo booth are in back corner to the left. the patio, if you go to the corner and lean has a great view of the MPLS skyline. Grand Marnier is a specialty here.

Larch Oye

Drum 'n Bass, $2.50 Tallboys, Excellent Dance-Floor, Unbelievable Talent AND Scenery- coupled with Fast Drink Service and Oh Jeez!

Cade Price

The Kitty Kat Klub is awesome so put the pedal to the metal and keep on trucking!

Christopher Ebersold

Charging patrons $4 for water is completely unacceptable..

Caleb Crawford

Trash Food, Trash Service, Trash

Collin S

Love this place. Very groovy and a gem in dinkytown, you don't get your typical college vibe at all but just good prices on drinks a unique dark but eccentric vibe

Jacob Solem

Great atmosphere and music. Love the balcony!

Brian Wene

A very enjoyable place to have a drink and watch some live music. Great cocktails and fantastic tap beer.

M L

Terrible! Only came for a buddy. The owner needs an attitude check. Bathrooms are horrible! Need renovations badly. Wasting no more time with this review.

Marz Tomasin

Fantastic lounge/bar. The vibe is very laid back, great drinks as well!!! vintage decorations, candles, and funky mood lighting set the atmosphere just right. Bathrooms are gender neutral!! The bar area is pretty accessable as it is right inside the door. Bathrooms are slightly less accessable due to being down a set of dark stairs. I still give this place 5 stars! staff is friendly, and attentive. :) would recommend to others!

Kate Erickson

Stopped in the door to warm up, and the bouncers were total ars wagons. “Are you warm yet? We’ve got a $7 cover charge”. Ars waaaaagon. Just women warming up for a flippin second. I’ll never go back. Just rude.

max vento

They did not allow us in and they gave us no reason at all whatsoever these people and their staff need to be fixed otherwise they will have more problem with other people in the future.

Chung Lee

Cool place to hang with friends. I have been here a couple of times and always had fun. It is a really nice place, with good music and drinks. Staff is ok. The atmosphere is always awesome.

brian botkiller

Awesome place, great sound, fun vibe.

Madeline Schwappach

spunky vibes

JJ Cutuli

Funky little bar. Great for happy hour or a stop on your night out on the town. There is a deck for nice-weather days or nights. Like the Loring Pasta Bar next door, this place is great ambiance.

Jieyu Jiang

worst reception ever. the rudest man i have ever met....super racist. we did not say anything yet he kept saying: IT IS A BAR LOUNGE, NOT A RESTAURANT....lol we are grown up women, we obviously know we are walking into a bar...super disappointed customer service!

Jeremy Thompson

Good strong drinks and the Live Bands Are Great! Was my first time & has a smoker friendly porch.

Tah Teche

Great place, great drinks and lovely live music. I don’t recall what band played that night. However I took 2 stars away because the rest room is terrible.

Joshua Blesi

Bite squad delivers from here

Damion Swanson

Fun place nice crowd

Andrew Balfour

Very unique and cool atmosphere. Strong drinks, decent wine and beer selection. When a band is playing you can hear it pretty much everywhere in the place.

Pwajdeur Swanstrom

Tunes and brew

Adam Stallman

Great bartenders that can make a good drink. Music can be hit or miss, but this is a go to spot for hanging out and shooting some pool

Jason Wallace

Atmosphere here is probably in the top 3 for Dinkytown. Dim and fun colored lighting along with comfortable seating, and decent drinks makes for a good time. Staff is hit or miss sometimes. Stage and dance floor is occasionally used for live music and dancing. Note, because it is Dinkytown, parking can be a pain if you are driving here.

Jonathan Johnson

One star because I need to leave a review otherwise this place would get negative stars. Get a decent happy hour then give me a call.

Matthew Galloway

Unique ambience with extra comfy furniture. The deck is great for socializing and sharing a smoke. The live music in most evenings is excellent - Hipshaker is a favorite monthly event. Food from Annie's is delicious, too.

Adam Skordahl

One of my favorite bars. Ample seating in secluded areas. Great ambiance.

Patrick Hierlmaier

Relaxed atmosphere to listen to music

Ian Hass

You realize the acronym for that is the KKK,right?Not to mention the place is so damn LOUSY!Would not return EVER!

Will Gobeli

Came for the band, stayed for the pinball. Also had a great view from the deck/patio.

Thomas Bohmbach, Jr.

Lots of cozy spaces, candles, and velvet.

Jordan Skordahl

Good cocktails & a fun place to hangout.

Ricky DeMello

Great atmosphere but the service could be better.

Javier González

Good offer of local artist, good place to hang out and drink some beers with live music.

Ty Hughs

We purchaseda bottle of wine...had to drink out of a Cola glass! Was told no wine glasses available! How can you serve wine and not have wine glasses. Doubt your business well do well with this idiocy.

Lindon Thorn

Definitely one of the most unique bars in all of the Twin Cities. Check them out!!

Christian Kurschner

This is my favorite bar in Minneapolis. I love how they almost always have live music or some event going on. They also have the cheapest drink prices of any place I have ever seen in Minneapolis.

Nelson Soto

Very interesting crowd.

Kate

It has a very interesting decor inside. Not like other bars.

c b

Es ist okay. .. mehr aber auch nicht. .

Victoria Wehmeyer

Interesting and lively

George Stefas

I would call it the "let's talk about it" bar. Not very loud music ,low lighting. It's a good place to talk with someone.

Mike Fuentes

Reasonable prices, welcoming comfortable lounging, good music, friendly crowd.

Matt Glatzel

Good Music venue and general place to lounge.

Larry Franklin

Strip club name meets Grandma's basement. If the tilted colored lamp shades don't drive you crazy the goth/trance music played by the DJ will. The KCK is in dire need of a bar food menu and more drink options. Atmosphere was dead.

Olivia Harmer

fun place to grab drinks with a friend or a group. loads of comfy couches/chairs... eccentric vibe

Nisarg Desai

Cozy place and nice ambience, just a little expensive.

Sean Donohue

Great bar and local venue located in Dinkytown. The drinks are very cheap, but well made. Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys dive bars, a atmosphere perfect for conversation and local music. The music was fantastic and the people who were there to support the local artist were friendly and well behaved. 5 stars without a doubt!

Mike Ries

I know many people that like the Kitty Kat Club for its atmosphere and comfy chairs, but their lack of any beers on draft bothers me. They also don't serve any food, and when I called one time to ask if I could bring food in they would not allow anything at all to be brought in. If you like expensive cocktails and overpriced bottled beer this is the place to go, but in my opinion there are much better places to go for drinks in Dinkytown and the surrounding area.

Alexi Bryant

I am not really much of a clubber or whatever, but this place is dope. I love the lounge feel, colors, music, and staff. Always seems low-key and I love it. Also, the guy at the door is a fantastic artist.

Martin Reno

Fun place! Very unique!

Austin Eschweiler

Great atmosphere and reasonable prices

Ben Crunk

bartenders at this box are a lot like an attorney. (If you have a really bad attorney)

David Blake

Beautiful venue and good drinks.

Daniel Kunkler

This is a fun place to see music. Lots of lounging space, a pool table, and some pinball.
