About
Brandon S. Dash
Founder of PreGAME by Dash
Twin Cities
My name is Brandon S. Dash, a proud Minneapolis local and graduate of the University of St. Thomas, where I earned my degree in International Business. Travel and cultural discovery has always been passions of mine. After studying abroad and gaining hands-on global experience, I returned to the Twin Cities to follow a calling rooted in connection, hospitality, and vibrant living. My journey in hospitality took me through some of the most dynamic spaces in the industry, culminating in a leadership role as a hotel Assistant General Manager. While I’ve always appreciated a great hotel stay, my heart aligns with the service philosophy and brand elegance of Marriott-style experiences—thoughtful, elevated, and memorable.
On the side, I drove for Uber Eats, a role that opened my eyes in unexpected ways. I have been to nearly every restaurant in the downtown areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul and got a realization that kindness to a delivery driver was often a good sign of how they’d treat you.
Valuing hospitality , I developed a feeling for the culinary pulse of the Twin Cities— kitchens ran efficiently, and a space where hospitality truly meant something. And that sparked the creation of PreGAME by Dash.With events in the Twin Cities and Postgames housed in Moment, a striking, design-forward space steps from U.S. Bank Stadium, the Armory, and the Target Center, PreGAME by Dash is a hub for like-minded locals and travelers. It’s not just an event—it’s the rendezvous before the moment. Consider it a pre-event gathering with style and soul, where new friendships form effortlessly and curated experiences unfold.
We offer exclusive pregame events at trusted, top-tier venues I’ve personally explored—each with great vibes, great service, and a story to tell. Whether you’re new in town or want to meet others before a show, concert, or big game, PreGAME by Dash sets the perfect tone. As a gay entrepreneur with a disability, I’m deeply committed to making every event inclusive, accessible, and affirming for all. Minneapolis is more than a city—it’s a crossroads of creativity, diversity, and discovery. With our vibrant arts scene, eclectic neighborhoods, and the seamless flow of the light rail connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul, there’s something for everyone here. Everyday we welcome people from around the globe—and PreGAME by Dash offers them a warm, stylish way to connect with the city and each other.
Whether you’re flying in for a concert, out for a spontaneous night, or seeking something different—this is your moment. Let’s PreGame!
