The barn was great, spacious, well decorated and not run down at all. I can imagine it being a great venue for many occasions. There was another building right next to the barn, not sure what it would be called. It was also very nice. It was much bigger than the barn, but had less charm. Overall it was a great venue, and definitely a great place to think about hosting future events. If anyone is having a wedding- this would be a great place to do it!

Located in a 101-year-old building that used to be an A&P grocery store, this space perfectly blends history, creativity, and community. I love that so much of the original architecture has been preserved -- and the fact that it was designed by a woman architect back in the day makes it even more special. The Cove offers so much: daily coffee service, cooking and cake-decorating classes in "The Lab," yoga and meditation on Wellness Wednesdays, Social Sundays focused on mindfulness and connection, and even Art & Wine nights where you can sip, snack, and paint while listening to live music. They're also about to open Sticks & Stones, a private cigar club next door that will be available to members -- it's going to be such a great addition to the experience. The next membership cohort begins November 1st, and spots are limited to just 150 members to keep things community-focused and personal. They also host networking events, lectures, and business education workshops, so it's a great mix of social and professional. Whether you come for a coffee, an event, or to meet new people, The Cove Social Club is one of those places that makes you feel instantly connected and inspired.

Mia was knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. She spent time with each one of us, explaining techniques and offering tips and motivation. The Affluent Concierge provided a unique and delightful experience, with great attention to detail and heartwarming personal touches. Thank you, Nicole, Mia and Mr. Sherlock, we look forward to our next event!

My daughter is allergic to gluten, but really looking forward to the lunch menu and a salad but on Sunday it's brunch all day, which is not brunch. It's basically breakfast... Didn't have burgers for adults or salad, which was really all she could eat.$215 for breakfast was a bit of a shock. Will come back when they're more ready.

This is a historic landmark well over 100 years old which was originally a private residence, then a hotel, a community college and now a cultural community center in the heart of Gainesville.

The Thomas Center also boasts two art galleries and open cultural center available for all who come to this quaint college town. They offer seasonal concerts, community guided tours and self-guided garden tours. Overall, a wonderful gem in downtown Gainesville.

I was in town recently for a friend's birthday and she rented out The Wooly for her party. The space is really neat and can be divided up easily like my friend did. The front leads into a reception area, and she used a chunk of it to get a photo booth for the night. Go a little further and there's a small bar on the left, some seating on the back wall, and on the right an entire dance floor (or space to set up seating) and slightly raised stage. She hired a DJ and had some catered hors d'oeuvres on tables between the bar and dance floor. The folks at the bar were nice and it wasn't stupidly expensive if you wanted to get a mixed drink. The venue had some really nice textures and lighting (separate from my friend's over the top decor) that made it feel more upscale in a college town. I have no idea what it cost her or how easy it was to coordinate with the venue, but as a guest I had a great time! The only downside is you'll likely have to circle around a couple times for street parking if you don't want to pay for the garages nearby.
