About Me
Click HERE to purchase advance tickets for select Aquarium shows. The Aquarium, located at 226 Broadway in the upstairs of Dempsey's Public House, is a venue located in downtown Fargo, North Dakota. It opened in March 2006 to host primarily touring, independent and original artists in the mold of the now defunct Ralph's Corner. The Aquarium is only open when there is shows or events so watch the calenda.r It is a bar so most shows will be 21+ although occasionally there will be some bigger all-ages shows. DM Cooperative (Chris Hennen) books the majority of the shows. If you want these bands to continue to come to the area, please support the Aquarium. When we don't have a show booked, the Aquarium is available for private parties. Whether it be holiday, birthday, anniversary, wedding, no matter what, check us out. Amenties include full sound system and staff, full liquor service, and food catering all available at reasonable rates. If your event is at least a couple hours and is only for people over 21, its very possible with enough liquor sales, you could get the room for free. Feel free to contact us about dates. Call 235-3179 or messages us on here. Note Fridays and Saturdays are only available in the afternoon or early evening.
