Parkinson's and Sleep was the topic of the was the seminar. If you love someone that has this disease, you learn quickly that sleeping isn't something that happens very often. Parkinson's interferes with sleep because your brain is unable to "shut" off. The guest speakers were a doctor, a physical therapist, and a mindfulness expert. Many of the behaviors these professionals shared were ones that John displays nightly. I was thankful that the information they shared was pertinent to our lives! The venue held at least 150 people, vendors and tables and chairs. There was plenty of space and walking around room. People that were using

Been here a few times for a few different events. Since this is an event space that events…read morethemselves can rent out, I'll try to avoid commenting on the actual events. Instead, I want to focus a bit on the staff and space provided at the Kee. I've been surprised by the event staff here every time I've come to an event. Every time I've gone, the bar has been pretty understaffed. Customers will come up asking for water, and bartenders will wave them off, saying "Get water from the free dispenser over there" while the dispenser is empty. Maybe this is a barback issue? The bathrooms start out okay in the beginning of the event, but every event has been out of toilet paper and paper towels by the end. They're looking pretty shabby too. The Kee might consider mid-event janitorial services because women ducking into the men's room to steal toilet paper rolls to hand them off to other women who are sitting in the stalls is probably not the look you're going for. The space itself is cute. Rooms are wide open with ample walking space. The main room (the Kee calls it "The Venue") is huge and echo-y - which is a shame because this appears to be where they put live entertainment and music. We've had a hard time hearing any presenter's words in this room because of the acoustics. The additional rooms are super cute (love the arcade games and unique furniture), but they're only open during events if your event paid for them. The arcade games cost extra money. There are nearby parking lots that'll handle most small-event traffic, but if something huge is going on, you might need to figure out street parking. The hallways/entryways are definitely built for shuttling people through, and they handle entrance lines pretty solidly. (I'm a little confused by the Yelpers reviewing food or drinks here. The Kee is only open for private and public events. It looks like this might have been a restaurant space at one point?)

The bathrooms were awesome (pink sinks, faucets, and hand dryers in the women's room!) -the barista who manned the coffee bar for the event was wonderful. He made a phenomenal dirty cinnamon chai latte -I had a light lunch of whipped honey labneh and I never want yogurt again, just that. Chefs kiss. Another reviewer correctly pointed out that they already add a 20% service charge so do what you want with that info.

The parking is rough... they do not have their own parking lot for everyone (all guests). There is a parking garage down the street that guests have to pay for. Other than that it was very pretty and clean as well. Service was great and quick.

Capable of hosting, larger groups, I have attended several times the Columbus Metropolitan Club lunch meetings. The acoustics in the main hall are great, and it was easy to see and hear everything on the program. Large windows allow natural light to enter the space, and this is supplemented by other facility lighting. A great choice for event planners. I would point out that the on-site parking is smaller in capacity, and while street parking is available, this is something that needs to be thought out and clearly communicated to event attendees.

The food was delicious. We were delighted to learn they are able to accommodate for many food allergies. The only inconvenience is that parking is available about 2 blocks away or on the street. We had someone drop us off and pick us up which worked well. When we left we noticed a security/police vehicle parked nearby so it felt like a safe venue especially if you had to walk the 2 blocks to the parking garages. It is located in the Italian Village district near OSU. We would recommend this venue for your special event. Thank you for a wonderfully delightful and safe evening experience.

A venue downtown, that's a bit run down, but it works for the right type of event…read more I've only been here for music. The Be Louder Group hosts shows here, primarily for electronic music. It's easy to get to but there's not really any parking in the area. I know a lot of people that get their cars broken into on the weekends, so I suggest ubering if you can. Once inside the building it looks old. Word on the street is this was an old bank back in the 1920s. There's tile everywhere, the walls could use a paint job, and the bathroom was a wreck. But like I said in the beginning, it fits for the right event, and a rave is just one of them. When you reach the ballroom, you'll find the old vault tucked under a grand staircase. It doesn't really have any of the old vault features but it is what it is. I will say that the lighting is pretty good, and the giant windows are cool. When I've been there they projected the DJs name on the wall, like I see many do for weddings.There's a big chandelier hanging right in the middle with tapestries pulling away from it. It's rather beautiful. I'm interested in seeing this place set up in the daytime or for a wedding but who knows if that would ever happen. If they cleaned up the place a bit I can see it being really lovely.

We loved loved loved this venue! OMG! It is so beautiful and offers so much flexibility…read more The interior provides that rustic feel and needs little decoration because it is so nice on its own. We learned that you can pick your own caterer and provide your own booze which can go along way in both cost and allowing you to truly customize your special event. This was one of the top contenders for our wedding day. What ended up keeping us from booking is that we wanted to have a November wedding and this venue is perfect for outdoor weddings so it just was too much of a gamble with the crazy Ohio weather. If you're venue shopping, I highly recommend this place. It was just so nice and if you're an Upper Arlington resident, you can get even more of a discount. Check it out!

The staff was excellent -- always checking in to see if we needed anything. According to Charlotte, one of the venue coordinators, they can seat about 150 max. The wedding I attended had a little under 100 guests, with plenty of room to move about with the dance floor set up in the front of the venue. For the ceremony: There is a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking a pond w/ a fountain. Plenty of seating with a small aisle for the bridal party to walk down. For the reception: There is plenty of room! Tons of natural lighting. A concession stand type window bar area and an alcove to set up the food and cake tables. I was very impressed with this venue. It was clean, modern, easy to access, great staffing, with tons of natural beauty to it. I will definitely be suggesting this location to future photography clients. Well done, Amelita Mirolo.

I cannot say enough good things about the experience here. We attended the Mothers Day afternoon tea class and it was so special.

Everything came out beautiful and tasty. Kudos to our terrific instructor Shawnie, who was so organized. The tea service itself was very well thought out. We had music, hot teas, fresh flowers, mimosas and locally made macarons. A wonderful day of memories made with Mom.
