Triple Rock Social Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triple Rock Social Club is a bar, music venue, and restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, co-owned by Gretchen Funk and Erik Funk of the punk band Dillinger Four. It is featured in the song "Seeing Double At The Triple Rock" by Fat Wreck Chords labelmates NOFX; the video for the song was shot at the club. The club is mentioned in the Motion City Soundtrack song "Better Open the Door" and in the Limbeck song "Home Is Where The Van Is."
The bar first opened in 1998. It sells foreign and independently brewed beers and offers vegetarian/vegan dishes in addition to standard bar fare. The venue portion of the club opened in 2003, and is a common venue for local and up-and-coming bands to play. Nationally known bands have also played at the club.
The name of the club is taken from the 1980 film The Blues Brothers. The Triple Rock Baptist Church (whose pastor is James Brown,) is the site where the brothers receive their "mission from god".
