311 Club

Twin Cities Music Highlights Posted on August 8, 2021 by Jeanne AndersenAugust 8, 2021

The 311 Club was located at 311 West Broadway in Minneapolis.

It was a 3.2 bar that featured Country music.

The building dated back to 1887.  In 1912, 311 was a saloon.

In 1941 the operator of the bar was Andrew Folta.

It appears from permit records that it became a bar in about 1948.

Sherwin Linton and the Fender Benders played there in 1959.

The Blue Water Boys performed in January 1961.

In March 1963, the operator of the tavern was identified as Mrs. Judith Collins.

In September 1963 the bar was for sale.

In December 1964, the City’s liquor committee threatened to revoke Richard C. Nelson’s 3.2 license because he failed to reveal the true ownership of the bar.

A permit to demolish the building was taken out on May 12, 1971.  The dimensions of the building were given as 75 x 75 x 26 (2).  Two buildings?
