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 bar is open 6 days a week regardless of whether or not there is shows beginning at 9:30 pm. We are closed Sundays unless there is a show. 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.
