The Weekly Triple Double 

The Weekly Triple Double

By Rod Smith

What softens a recession's bite as effectively as cheap booze? Nothing...except free entertainment. While "Triple Double"—the Triple Rock's freshly reinvented Tuesday bacchanal—offers both commodities by the truckload, the night's ever-changing DJ roster and floating-genre music selection make leaving the house to drink a far more attractive proposition than mere two-for-one tap beers and well drinks (or fucking karaoke) ever could. We who are about to rock, er, hip-hop, uh, soul or whatever, can only salute them.

Price: free

Since they opened in 2003, the Triple Rock has become one of the big destination punk, indie rock and underground hip hop clubs in the Twin Cities -- a good-sized music venue catering to pretty much every cool kid in town. Arrive to shows early to grab a booth at the bar, which boasts one of the metro's best vegan-friendly menus.
