Myth

Slow getting in, expensive drinks in tiny little cups… Great time until towards the end of the night… someone pulled the fire alarm so I evacuatated (duh what half sensible person wouldn’t) when I found out it was fake I tried to re enter and was bullied into submission by «Dave» and when I demanded to speak to a supervisor or a refund…“Dave” all of a sudden got a promotion and was head honcho on the block. I was then almost immediately surrounded by security… I weigh 140 pounds soaking wet lets be realistic… I’ve called to speak to management but no returned calls/​emails… This place doesn’t care about anything except your money… Welcome to America

If I wanted to listen to a concert at headphone volume, I would have stayed home. I have never had a good concert experience here. The sound is awful. I can rarely hear whoever is singing or what they’re saying. Standing at the back of the room means you won’t hear the music at all. There are too many people packed into one room where if you’re not there early enough to get a spot at the bar, you won’t be able to see. On more than one occasion I have seen people faint from the heat.
The bar is not great either. Overpriced, small selection. Someone offered to buy my friend a drink and left enough money on the bar for him; the bartender took the whole thing as a tip instead.

Just about as good as it gets for a venue of its size. Lines were managed well, and lots of good options for viewing the show as long as you planned well and decided to come before doors opened. The sound was amazing — the best I’ve experienced.
I didn’t notice any sort of crazy security guards. They were thorough and I didn’t give them any problems so I didn’t get any.
Everything was really clean, especially compared to The Cabooze or First Avenue.
I’m taking a star because I can see how it would have really sucked had we gotten there even 15 minutes later. My group was on the balcony and they just had that place PACKED. Oversold, no doubt. I’m sure most people on the first level couldn’t see anything. Their fault for not coming early to a sold out show, I guess.

Thank you, Myth. Am at your facility right now for the Twenty One Pilots concert. You were super kind and escorted my 11 year old son and I along with a few other parents and kids to a small platform in front of the sound guys with a perfect view of the stage. Thanks for taking care of he young (and short) fans. We will definitely be back!

If you want to drive a far distance to be guaranteed a weak sound mix and complete lack of decent site lines, this is the venue for you!
But wait, there’s more! The venue also smells like a stale gym sock, and somehow you can taste the air, leaving your mouth with the unpleasant but long-​lasting chalky taste of chalk.
The drab and uninventive décor is sure to slowly erode your will to keep living, and the poorly laid out walkways promise you’ll awkwardly collide with other patrons, likely explaining the many half beers spilt around the floor.
The Myth is an apt name, because only in a fantasy world would this be a good place to see a concert.

Went here to see Chance the Rapper and Metro Boomin, and it was one of the best shows I’ve been too. Most of the credit goes to the artists, but they had a great venue to perform at too!
We skipped the opening act and showed up a bit late. The parking lot was completely full but there was overflow parking for $ 10 right across the street.
Got the full pat down at security (there was no gender discrimination).
I didn’t interact much with the staff, but the venue itself was great!
There was a small audio hiccup which was fixed. Audio and visuals exceeded my expectations and really added to the show. The main standing room can definitely get a bit tight, but if you want to hang back for some dancing room, you’ll still have a great view with a nice line of sight.
Maplewood is a bit far, but I’d definitely consider going back for the right show!

Every time I’ve been here it has been oversold to the point where you cant move without shoving and elbowing people out of your way, not to mention the fact that they must have some sort of a sound ordinance in the area because the music is always so quiet! After the second time I just decided to smuggle my own liquor into the venue because getting to the bar was such a hassle the first time. The location is out in the middle of nowhere in a suburban mall parking lot. super weird… No bus service after midnight so you will end up paying at least $ 30 for a cab each way, that is, if you can find one to take you back at 2 am.

I was there for Star Party and it was a lot of fun! I would love to give 5 stars, however, I forgot my debit card with the bartender and when I went to pick it up the lady at the box office was a total bitch! Customer service is everything and she is the face of your company! Awful!

The «Myth nightclub» is hardly a «club»
Recently attended a concert at the Myth. If you want to get any type of viewable seat you have to pay. And it isn’t cheap. But the biggest disappointment in attending a concert at this venue is there is no alcohol. Well, they do serve alcohol but they have absolutely no selection. They cannot make you a cocktail (other than your basic rum or whisky and coke etc… don’t ask for anything as simple as a Gimlet because they don’t have the ingredients). And beer selection? For $ 7.00 you can get a bud, bud-​lite or michelob lite (and maybe a can of corona lite if they can find it, depends on which bar you are at) A club this size can not afford to bring any type of beers? Even the local, corner tavern has a better selection and cheaper.

I’ve definitely been to much better places than Myth! So far, I’ve only been there once to see DJ Steve Aoki perform. The performance was really cool, though the venue is pretty bad. No matter where you stand there, you’re in the way of someone. Plus, some of the people who worked there seemed a little bit rude. I definitely don’t plan on going there again unless somebody who I am super fond of is performing there.

Was just there Saturday for Chevelle concert. Some ‘less popular’ concerts are less crowded and much more enjoyable here (eg Bret Michaels concert).
I suggest getting there EARLY, picking a spot just off floor level, and NOT moving, and have a friend go get everyone drinks if you need them. Should probably just drink before hand! If you do these things, it should be fairly enjoyable for you. You can actually see pretty decently from a lot of places.
Hated the way they split the ‘waiting-​to-​get-​in’ line into like 4 different lines, some went faster than others so people who got there after me got in faster — annoying.
Bathrooms — decent. big. weird they had ladies handing out paper towels though. a little awkward.
Bars– super crowded. Super overpriced (was expected). good luck getting anything to drink once the band starts.
Parking– decent. No need to get there extremely early for parking, parking lot is fairly big. But I wouldn’t want to be really late either… not sure if there’s overflow parking.
No place to sit AND watch. Maybe that’s asking too much.
VERY crowded where we stood. People basically on top of each other in order to see. Tempers rose because of alcohol, heat, and major crowdedness. Stairways into and out of the ‘standing-​pit-​like-​area’ were cram packed to unsafe levels because the stairways are a bit raised up, so you can see better. Also, those same stairways need some sort of lighting or better glow tape, people kept falling down them onto floor level (they couldn’t see them). —Maybe I suggest that staff keep the stairways more open for safety?
God forbid there would’ve been a fire. People would have died (by trampling, not fire).

Myth seems to be the sort of place that you either love or hate. I hate it. (I’m only reviewing it as a concert venue. If you want to go to a dance club, my guess is you’ll love it.)
1) Location. I’d prefer if it was downtown, but the location didn’t affect my vote. It’s a big metro; there are a lot of places I have to drive a good ways to get to. The parking is actually good if you get there really early. Apparently it stinks if you don’t.
2) The line. They have this habit of splitting the line in two just before opening doors. It’s pretty irritating to wait for hours and hand people who just got there beat you inside.
3) The wait. Shows don’t start on time. Every time i’ve been, the opening act stared about an hour after the advertised start time. (Two hours after doors open.)
4) The bar. The selection isn’t good. It’s overpriced, but I don’t think there are any concert venues without overpriced drinks.
5) The bathrooms. They seem okay, but if I were a woman, I probably wouldn’t want to go into that back corner.
6) The sound. Other people say it’s phenomenal. I though it had a lot of distortion, and made it hard to actually hear the music.
7) The venue itself. If you like being in a crowded mosh pit, you’re in luck. Most of the venue is one big pit.
If you’re like me, this is the exact opposite of what you want a concert to be. Nowhere to sit (at least nowhere with a view of the stage,) it’s hot a stuffy, you’re standing in place for three hours by the time the headlining band starts, you can’t hear them very well when they finally do come on, and it’s so crowded that you can’t go to the bar, or you lose your spot.
Like I said, I think it’s love it or hate it. If you like this kind of place, then you’re lucky. A lot of great shows that come to Myth, since it’s bigger than First Ave.

Confused on the Haterade on here. I’m here to document my success? at Myth.
I came here with MaryJo C to see Capital Cities (who were awesome BTW).
Yes, it’s in Maplewood. Random. Get a life if you are going to rate them poorly because of this. It’s just water under the bridge.
The venue inside is actually really nice for a concert venue. I obviously have not been here for a «club experience» so I can’t comment on that.
The bar seemed to be working smoothly. It didn’t seem that there was a bad spot in the house.
And you know what is the BEST PART. It’s NOT DIRTY IN HERE. (I’m looking at you First Avenue).
I would definitely come back here.
–1 Star for the Parking outrageousness. You kids are right about that.
–0 stars for Maplewood.

Very messed up system they have here! The venue for a nightclub is ok but I went here for a concert and waited in line for coat check for two hours… pretty much a cluster of drunk pushy kids. Im short and was pushed and shoved almost to the ground. My hair was pulled and drinks were spilled on me. When leaving I had the same gd problem and was seriously pushed and shoved like you can’t even imagine. What a nightmere! Someone is going to get seriously hurt one of these days if they havnt already.
And to add on top of all that, we first got there and thought we would avoid the line outside because it was like –8 degrees out so we sat in the car for a bit. Someone from security knocked on our car door and told us we couldn’t hang out in our car. wtf… ok yeah so ill go stand in your line and freeze my butt off… mmhmmm. nice.

It was hard to decide between 3 and 4 stars. The venue itself is great. The space is huge, there are plenty of bars, and surprisingly plenty of places to lean/​sit — which for a pregnant lady was so appreciated! Sound quality was good, and we had decent views of the stage from various spots throughout the venue.
The location just… sucks. It’s a haul from the Cities, so I’d really have to like a band to make a trek out here. And for being out in suburbia, you would expect a better parking lot, but I will say even though you have to park a few blocks away at Kohl’s (which we did), it’s free.

I liked this place for its size and its comparatively cheap ticket prices.
I also did not mind standing through the entirety of a concert.
Drinks were pricey, but bartenders were good.
Coat check available.
Free parking.
I got to share a warm-​hearted laugh with a security guard who was keeping the stairway cleared — he and I had seen the same «feeling-​good action/​behavior» of some guy ascending the stairs.

Writing this review based on going here for a concert.
A few reasons why Myth has disappointed me.
1.They make you stand outside waiting for the doors to open its cold during the fall/​winter months.
2. Parking is terrible once their small lot is full you are to park in the Maplewood Malls parking lot this is about a two block walk to Myth.
3. Standing room only if you choose to sit you won’t even be able to see the show better off listening to a radio
4. Its a big olé mosh pit pretty much once the building fills up in the middle i highly doubt watching a performance is any fun esp with those being intoxicated and pushing you against one another while sweating balls.
5. Far off. In Maplewood
yes Meh I’ve experienced better is the perfect rating for this joint if its a performer you really want to see live great otherwise pass up and go to another show elsewhere.

Thinking of other venues that I love around town made me remember everything i don’t love about Myth and how it would take Whitney Houston herself resurrected from the grave and performing a private concert for only me and my friends for me to return.
Firstly, it’s in Maplewood. Where is that you ask? I have no idea. There’s nothing else to bring me out here, so why are we driving out here to see a show?
Also, this place has a serious identity crisis. It reminds me of the big nightclubs that I thought were exciting when I was in Mexico when I was 18. Oooh, exciting, I can legally drink here and listen to the Venga Boys! Flashbacks abounded when I came here for a show.
I don’t know who the people were who think that there isn’t a bad seat here. After walking around trying to find a place to see the stage, let alone hear the music over all the bass, we just jumped ship and abandoned this concert. Overpriced tickets and all…
Just for the heck of it, I took a spin to see who else would be playing here soon to see if I would ever convince myself venture out here again in the distant future, even if it couldn’t be Miss Whitney. Nope. Not even Wale (who I actually really really like) can get me to drive out here and pay $ 75 to see him.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been to my fair share of dives (real ones not the ones hipsters frequent), but this place is pretty decent for a show. Granted, I don’t buy drinks at these shows because they are always over priced, but from a venue standpoint, it’s somewhere I’d go again.
It would be nice if the shows whose target audience is over 30 and on a «school» night would start at more of a happy hour time than 8:00 PM, but who knows who is in charge of that option.
Also, I prefer to sit at shows rather than stand, but if you get here early enough, you might find a decent place to lean.

If you get free tickets, its passable for a concert venue… cause the rest of the venue isn’t worth much of your money or time getting to Maple Grove. Essentially the same place as before it closed, everything seems dated, kinda run down, and just not special. My biggest grips are:
— obnoxious crowd, not cool, not on trend, and always between where you are and where you want to get to
— standing room only anywhere everywhere
— poor sight-​lines (unless your on the main floor)
— venue too far away and nothing nearby once you get there
— sticky everything… bring hand sanitizer
Others have said the staff is rude and such… which I never experienced. I was there for KDWB Jingle Ball, folks were nice, security efficient, bartenders busy but didn’t try to ignore you, prices reasonable, and generally you’re not hassled too much.
