Mostly an art gallery to show of local artist's creations, but there is also space to rent and learn. Throughout the whole area you will find wares to be bought from paintings to pottery. Separate areas are set aside to use as classroom space if you wish you could just figure out how to be creative, much like me. The space is also available to hold a gathering. I stopped in during the recent Ethnic Fest going on in this area of the city and at that time they had Irish gig dancing held within. I love the reuse of the building. You can tell at one time it was an old industrial building of some sort from the brick exterior to the concrete floors inside. The chandeliers inside were quite creative as well. It appears they reused some old plastic bottles to give you the effect that it was blown glass. Who knew this existed in Johnstown? Now you do.

Dave, the Project Manager, was a wonderful liaison during my planning process. He was superior in timely responses while being completely thorough. The Building Manager, Michael, is nothing less than delightful. He was with us throughout the entire process: he assisted in planning, set up, the actual event, and tear down. Dave and Michael are true wedding and event professionals. I would recommend The Grand Halle for any event. Stellar people, spectacular atmosphere!

Surrounded by happy seated…read morepatrons (the tasting is standing at the bar) and live music (albeit a tad loud for the space) I sampled the dry section of the wines. Per the bartender, they import their grapes from various parts of the country (as I don't think grapes would grow well near Jtown) and make their own wines from there. We started with the whites, the stand outs to me were the Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Reisling. I'm usually not a Chard girl, esp when its oak barreled, but this was surprisingly smooth. Their reds weren't as strong as their whites, IMO, but the best red they had is the Sangiovese. Very smooth and drinkable. $6 got us a cheese plate with 4 different varieties of cheese but only Ritz crackers. It'd be a bit nicer to get a cracker variety or fancier cracker, but i'd be lying if I didn't admit to pounding those ritzs. I bought 4 bottles to bring home, which rang in at about $80. So, not extremely cheap, but as mentioned, the wine quality was better than I expected and I am more than happy to support this local business.

Tonight we are here for Jazz in your Face, and none of their dinner offerings are gluten free. When I asked if the chicken, at least, could be modified, the gal at the bar said no. But! She went and talked with someone, and they soon found me at my table and asked if I would like an herbed chicken cutlet with vegetables. It was so kind of them to go out of their way to make sure I had something to eat. Everything was scrumptious, and everyone was so nice! I learned that the lady was new - so she didn't know when I asked. But, she took the time to find out. I'm just one little person, but that is excellent customer service, and I appreciate it very much!

This review is for Ace's as a whole. They do offer catering, but this is for the actual physical…read morebuilding that can be rented for events. Let's hit on some of the positive things first. Decent size on the inside that allows for a variety of events to be held within. Decorations make the space look elegant. The dancefloor is a decent size. The bar area is capable of serving a multitude of drinks. The food was on point. Now, let's get into the nitty gritty of this place. Parking is atrocious. Yes, there is a parking lot adjacent to the building and some on street parking. Be mindful of the residents in the area, there are driveways that could be blocked. But also be mindful that Ace's management don't care if the parking lot for Ace's is being filled with vehicles that have an intention to go elsewhere in the neighborhood. If you bring this to their attention, the owner will tell you that they all work together in the neighborhood and that it's not a problem. Translation: not my problem, too bad your guests didn't show up earlier even though we were not open. The bathrooms inside are so small and cramped that you could and can get hit by the stall doors when you are using a urinal. Reminds you of a very old firehall. Or maybe a church hall with no windows. Guests were well behaved during the event. Mindful of the neighborhood. But the owner of the business makes assumptions that the guests "damaged" a planter outside by shoving a glass beer bottle into it, and took to their own personal Facebook page to blast the "wedding guests." Funny thing is, the bar area did not serve beer in bottles and alcohol outside is prohibited. But let's make assumptions to cover our insecurities. Since I seem to be focusing on management/owner here, let's go a little deeper. Be mindful of the card box if you have one for a wedding. I mean it was nice that they secured the box part way through the wedding, but did not let anyone know they did so. Then when you want to retrieve the card box the next day it is like pulling teeth. Or maybe the owner is keeping it as ransom for something. When attempting to reach the owner to set up a way to secure the box you get chastised that he does not read texts while he is out conducting business via the catering business. If that's how you run a business, let someone else do it. You are allowing your personality to shine through and it is not appealing to attract business. Also, be mindful that you are basically in charge of setup and clean up of your own event. And god forbid if you have multiple things going on that would make for multiple trips here. Yes, you did read that correctly, you are responsible for cleaning up after yourself directly after your event. Such a good practice for an event space. Also, keep receipts from this place. Write a check, keep the ledger updated. Receive an email, keep it. If you do happen to get a receipt, keep it. Also, make sure that you schedule around the owner's time as he doesn't seem to understand how life works and that people have jobs. Remember, keep those receipts because once you have paid off the fee, they will attempt to say you are short without proof, so save your proof. If you have a crap attitude and run your business short of a scam, maybe running a catering/event business is not for you. Or maybe you should take a course in personal relations and learn to at least be fake a smile and keep it to yourself like everyone else in the world has at your age.
