More information on Showbox

With the prow-like marquee, this looks like a standard concert venue planted in the grit of First Avenue. And indeed, the musicians who perform here are well-known, but not big enough to fill a stadium such as P.J. Harvey, Zap Mama and Les Nubians to name a few. Small raised platforms offer seating around the dance floor, and there are two separate bars. The attached Green Room bar offers cocktails and a varied bar menu. Ticket prices for shows vary, but generally run USD10-USD20.
