The couple attends concerts at the theater often so it was lovely to know having their wedding there meant so much. My partner and I watched the wedding from the balcony where the view was spectacular and were easily able to move around the upper level and main level when we wanted to mix and mingle during the reception. If I could watch every wedding from that vantage point, I would; so cool! The venue allowed outside catering, so we had the couple's favorite local barbecue. The serving line moved fast and I was glad for the space allowed to line up all 150+ of us. The stage was used for a dance floor later in the night. Though small, it was a fun experience. The stage is a bit difficult to navigate around as there is only one set of narrow steps in the front. The lights also contribute to making the dance floor a bit warm.

It's just noise. Reminds me of a techno club circa early 2000s. Bartenders (there were two) umm yeah. You can keep them. I could only stand about an hour and a half of this place. I feel sad for the LGBT community here. Saturday night and the best you have to offer is this group of unfriendly people. From the bartenders to the "DJ" upstairs. I ll never go back. No reason to. Just stay home. Seriously. I can see why it's dead on a Saturday night.

Mixed feelings. It IS an important hangout for queer ppl who want to drink, but I wish, for…read moreexample, the monthly Gender Euphoria meetup would allow ppl of ALL ages to attend and that's not possible at a bar. Also, as person hoping to make friends, it just doesn't (IMO) have the best atmosphere for that, partly because it's often pretty noisy. Not very conversation-friendly. In a previous life, I went to an incredibly friendly (straight) bar. No TVs, the occasional live band, but typically quiet, great for chatting. Was more of a hangout than a place to get tipsy. The bar tenders are okay, but they don't interact with customers much. Maybe they are just too busy. In my previous bar, the main bartender loved to chat with customers and that, I think, really helped ppl to open up and chat among themselves. And feel welcome. Yeah, one bar can't do everything. Just wish there was a more sedate hang-out place for queers that was compatible with conversation.

My friend and I who are both ISU alums went to this bar. After paying cover and getting my ID…read morechecked I was checked by the bouncer. The bouncer stopped me and then yelled at me and said "oh you want to waste my time?" when I asked what he meant he said "answer the question". "I said no and he said right so why are you wasting my time." Again I asked him what he meant. A guy walks past who I assume is a manager, my friend tries to talk to him and the bouncer shoos the guy away. The bouncer proceeds to get in my face and asks me do I want to take this outside. I again ask him WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT. After about 15 minutes of being verbally assaulted I was finally let in. My friend who I brought with me is now in tears because she was so afraid. After waiting for her to go to the bathroom and settle down we decided to head to the bar and try to enjoy the rest of our night. Im not sure if it's because Im black, if it's because he wanted to create a line, or if he was fresh off doing a line. But I will not be coming back. This place is racist and has bad music. Don't come here.

Here is a well known ISU bar. It's been around quite a long time. Daddio's has to be doing…read moresomething right to still be in business, or people here just don't care. Find some pretty okay drink specials and more. The atmosphere sucks at times but it can be okay. A good thing is it's near lots of other bars. If you don't like it here, there's many other places to go. Truthfully it's not all that bad though. It depends. Like all campus bars, its atmosphere changes throughout the year. It's very quiet in summer, and hardly open. They even have limited hours during the school year. Mostly just Friday and Saturday nights, if even. The drinks are the best thing. It's about $3 for the cheapest. The cheapest isn't good but it's cheap for sure. Games in here include cornhole. It's typical drunken fun. They also have live music but there's often a cover though.

I for one absolutely love the way that this place is very interactive with its fan base! They have a lot of cool little contests and other little things throughout the entire game. The vendors threw up the entire building were pretty cool. The tickets for the games are actually pretty fair but is once you get inside and pay for the food and drinks, you get to see how quickly all that adds up. Yes, it's six bucks for a hot dog. One thing I did find misleading was that it's $3 for a can of Bucsh here because of their specials. While they're originals are $5.49. They have a non-alcoholic versions feature here too but unfortunately you can't get that for $3 like the alcoholic version of Busch which sounds pretty odd. Overall, I really did enjoy my visit. Restrooms are clean and well taken care of. Plenty of nearby parking as well.

They are currently under a bit of construction so getting into the building and finding your way around to the proper check in door was a little disorganized but once there everything seem pretty nice. The chairs are comfy...not squeaky. We got Row 3 seats and I have to be honest....they may have been a little too close to the stage. I think next time I'll shoot for row 6 or 7 to get a better line of sight. There is no drinks allowed as far I saw. Maybe bottled water? I did see they had a lounge called the Circus Room, but I'd venture a guess they don't serve alcohol since it's inside the Student Center. Chicago, the show itself, was great. Broadway calibur actors and musicians. The set was perfect with the band all in plain view. I would like to make a small note of criticism. This shows was scheduled on the same day as a touring production of The Sound of Music over at the Blooming Performing Arts Center. I feel this was in poor taste and timing between the two venues. Performing arts should always be working with each other as a team not in competition. There were plenty of empty seats available at Chicago that may have been filled if the community had not been made to choose between the two shows. Support the arts. Make it easier for everyone to attend both shows if they want to! Evita will be playing here soon.

There was a large afterwork crowd when I was there... and only one bartender... but she was able to keep up with demand and kept the drinks flowing! Inside it was pretty spacious and they could have fit a few more tables, but I imagine in the evenings it allows for more people to stand and walk around.
