The Hook & Ladder

Located in the historic Firehouse #21 in South Minneapolis' Longfellow neighborhood, The Hook & Ladder Event Center is a community-rooted, artist-driven venue built around three unique stages and a simple belief: live music brings people together. Home to The Theater, The Zen Arcade Stage & Lounge, and Under The Canopy, The Hook offers a diverse range of experiences, from intimate listening-room performances and canna-forward lounge events to full-production concerts and outdoor summer festivals. Whether you're discovering a new favorite artist, celebrating a milestone, attending a fundraiser, or dancing under the stars, The Hook is a place where connection happens. Operated by Nobool Presents, The Hook has been serving Minnesota's creative community since 2016 by providing performance opportunities, event space, and a platform for artists, organizers, nonprofits, and community leaders.
