    In the "black box" private stage area for the VIP meet and greet. Danny Gokey benefit concert for Emmanuel House
    Nicole C.

    This facility is AMAZING!! I really don't know how else to describe it. I can't believe it's connected to the Batavia High School (those kids are SO lucky) because it's definitely professional grade and seems brand new! I've been there 2 years in a row for the Danny Gokey benefit concert (former American Idol top 3 finalist and current chart-topping Christian artist) which benefitted the organization Emmanuel House (www.emmanuelhouse.org) and both years I was completely blown away. The sound quality, lighting, seating, just everything was so great. I've heard there are some pretty good plays that come through here too. I'll definitely be checking it out!

There's also a charging station for the cool folks driving electric vehicles. This building is very old; bricks and large wooden beams add a vintage vibe, as does the seating. If you've never been to Batavia, it's a cool little place to visit. There are plenty of choices for food and drink before a performance. Also, this building sits along a river and next to a park. Sweet. We recently saw Neil Simon's "Rumors" here. It was very funny, and the actors were AWESOME! My only complaint was their "modernization" of the script - LOTS OF SWEARING. F-bombs do not make the performance funnier, just crude. Albright, you can do better. Tickets were fairly priced at $17 - $22, with an additional $3 per ticket processing fee when purchased online. Bathrooms are currently available on the 1st and 2nd floors, so wait for intermission or you'll miss too much of the performance. Good news, though: the city of Batavia is updating the building. The new 3rd floor bathrooms should be ready in Fall 2022. Yay! Seating was somewhat uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Although rows are not on a slope, every seat in this intimate 88-seat theater likely has a good view of the stage. Candy and soft drinks are available during intermission. Cash only - come prepared. Who can resist peanut butter M&M's? YES, we will definitely go again. Just hoping they discover the vast world of adjectives and skip the F-bombs before the next show.

    We specifically went to dinner at the speakeasy at the Club Arcadia to hear Frank Sinatra songs…read more The private elevate and secret door held great promise of a different time. Our level of anticipation evaporated almost immediately when we were assaulted by the sound. The singer on stage accompanied by a bass so loud that my bones vibrated. Was the singer good? Couldn't tell because his voice was overpowered by the music. And even though the night was advertised as a Sinatra night....Elvis entertained as much as ole blue eyes. Our group of six were jammed into a booth meant for 4 people against a wall directly in line with the speaker. That means the sound hit us, then the wall, hitting us again as sound travels. We asked if it was possible to lower the volume. No one could talk or communicate during the performance. It was temporarily lowered and then the singer signaled the sound man to up the volume again. How was the food you ask? Three of us had the fish and it was excellent. The Chacuterie tray was well appointed but the salads that followed were bland and the seasonal vegetables consisted of mostly bell peppers with a carrot thrown in. Again..perhaps we would have enjoyed our meal more without the vibrations and incredibly loud music. I downloaded a decibel meter. It said that music in a restaurant should range between 50-65 decibels; my meter averaged 90+ during the show. We spoke with a kind and understandable waiter but not the manager. Management should know from us; this was a one and done. I'm still trying to figure out why other patrons were applauding loudly when you really didn't hear the music. I'd like to say you should try it for the experience but DON'T waste your money to be attacked by sound for 2 hours.

    Club Arcada is such a neat place. It is fun to step back in time. Take the elevator upstairs and be…read moretransported. There is a very small bar. The main dining room with live entertainment is pretty big. The decor is awesome. The food and drinks are basic. And kind of expensive but I think it is worth an experience you don't see anymore. We did not wait long for drinks or food and the staff was friendly. I would go back for a special occasion or girls night out.

    We recently hosted the Batavia High School Dance Team welcome event at the Geneva Winery in…read moreBatavia, and I honestly can't say enough great things about the experience. We had nearly 60 dancers, coaches, and team families there to welcome the new season, and the space could not have worked more perfectly for our event. The venue itself is beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly accommodating for larger groups while still feeling warm and inviting. Erin, the event manager, was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She and her team were so kind, responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. We brought in dinner and desserts, decorations, and favors. Families ordered wine, beer, soda and lemonade from the bar. The bar staff was amazing, and the wine was absolutely delicious! The entire evening felt easy and enjoyable. Everyone had such a great time, and we received so many compliments afterward about both the venue and the atmosphere. It truly was the perfect setting for our event, and we are so grateful to Erin and the entire Geneva Winery team for helping make the night so special. We will absolutely be back for future events!

And when I asked if they had a food menu I was rather bluntly told they were not a restaurant. But I could grab food from any of the places in the area and bring it in. And since I don't drink alcohol, my contribution to their till was two cans of coke. Plus my fee for the event. They have a room in the back overlooking the river. Ticket sales were limited to 50 so assume that's capacity. High power lines kind of disrupt the view, but welcome to Batavia. It is what it is. The rustic doors which separate that space, while attractive, were a bit ineffective at blocking out sound from a rather small group in the front bar.
