Brick & Mortar, or BxM, was recently opened in a fourth-story loft in the city’s Warehouse District, with access through an unmarked back-alley doorway. Membership costs $1,500 to start and then $300 a month. “It’s kind of like the Soho Houses, but not as hoity-toity,” one member said.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that many celebrities that have converged on the city for Super Week have been drawn to Brick & Mortar (BxM), a new private club in the city’s Warehouse District.
Full-time members of the club include players with the National Football League’s Minnesota Vikings and National Basketball Association’s Minnesota Timberwolves, as well as some local business leaders, the Star Tribune reported. Housed in a fourth-story loft, the club has been rented out this week by one of the largest talent agencies in the world for its clients.
“It’s kind of like the Soho Houses, but not as hoity-toity,” one member told the Star Tribune, referring to famed private clubs in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Zach Sussman, a BxM co-founder in the marketing and restaurant business, emphasized that the club’s full-time members come from diverse backgrounds and aren’t just wealthy people looking to hang out with other wealthy people, the Star Tribune reported. “We’re looking for people who add value and diversity to our community so our members can further extend and enhance their networks,” Sussman said.
The space is often bustling before and after games and concerts, the Star Tribune reported, and sometimes just for Sunday-afternoon football viewing in front of the big-screen TV, private parties or mid-day siestas. Membership costs $1,500 to start and then $300 per month. But you really do have to know the right people to get in, the Star Tribune reported, and especially this week.
BxM gave the Star Tribune access for its article only if its exact location was not revealed. The newspaper reported that it entered BxM through its unmarked back-alley doorway and then was able to enjoy its “gorgeous skyline view, elaborate kitchen, plush furniture and lockers, where members keep their own stash of cigars and booze. And obviously we’re not talking Jim Beam.”
