At a recent Flogging Molly concert with my girlfriend I checked both of our coats as it was unfortunately too cold to stand outside in the line for very long without them (and of course we had to walk a few blocks from the mall parking lot since that was as close as we could get). What I didn't know when I handed our coats over was that the Myth happened to have just put a new person in charge of the coat check. Apparently the person was just hanging coats on to the racks without regard to the order of the numbers they were handing out. When the concert was over, this lack of organization quickly caused some significant issues. For every person with a ticket, the 2 people handling the coat check booth had to look through all of the coats one-by-one (because they weren't in order) which took upwards of 5 minutes per person. This meant that there were 2,000 of us sitting around for over 2 hours waiting for our coats. This is the icing on the cake of bad experiences at Myth which I now vow I will never step foot in ever again.
If you are a club in Minnesota you should probably have 2 things to compensate for the fact that it is really, really cold: 1. a well-functioning coat check and 2. accessible parking. Myth has neither.
Pros: You don't notice that the sound is bad because there are sweat-and-beer covered 15-year olds attempting to mosh next to you.
Cons: Everything
