It went great…read more The event coordinator, Jo, was gracious, helpful and collaborative, providing everything we needed and helping us even to hang a piñata (which we cleared beforehand). Honestly, I had so much trouble getting other venues to call me back - she was such a relief and a help. When I went to see the place in person a few days before, she showed me all around and everyone I met was warm and welcoming. The Y has all the things you could need - tables, chairs, etc. and you can bring all your own decor and food. Costs were so reasonable. The Historic Y has a great mission of its own which made hosting there even more meaningful for me and my family. Thanks and respect!

I think there was a concession stand.

The owners are extremely helpful & this location is the perfect place for your event trust me you'll be extremely happy that you chose Site 17!!

Equipped with a full kitchen for rent, a bar which allows for you to bring in your own adult beverages & plenty of restrooms available including private quarters for the wedding party.

The venue itself is nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. However, there were several…read morethings about our experience that made it difficult to fully enjoy the event. If you rent the venue for a Saturday event, you only have access from 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM. Those hours are very inconvenient, especially when you are hosting an event that requires decorating and setup. It would be much more accommodating if they allowed renters to decorate earlier in the day, or even the day before when there isn't another event scheduled. The required bartending service was also a major disappointment. Unfortunately, I would give that service 0 stars. The service did not meet our expectations at all. Another issue was that there was something in the venue that was broken and something we were relying on for our event. Unfortunately, it was not replaced or properly addressed, which was very frustrating. We also were not allowed to dim the lights once the DJ started. While this wasn't the biggest issue of the night, it definitely would have helped create a better atmosphere for the event. Overall, the venue is nice and the staff are kind, but when you're paying for an event, you expect to be able to fully utilize the space and have the services you've paid for meet reasonable expectations. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend this venue to others looking to host an event.

Our friends had great wedding coordinators and vendors so everyone we encountered was super friendly. There were two sets of bathrooms readily accessible from where the reception was held. The space is really nice - not too large to where space felt underutilized but not too small where it's claustrophobic. It was a great venue and very beautiful overall.

There's multiple events held here monthly, including The Slide Society's line dance classes on Thursday nights at 6PM, which I really enjoy! In addition to this, there's also the barbershop and school that lives here, a healthy food prep restaurant I think, various community classes, and even the "Connections That Count" events that take place at 5 PM every first Wednesday that target, various themes and aim to build a better community (ABC) through fellowship and networking. There's really so many great things to say about the Dunbar and community events that occur here! Definitely worth checking out.

What makes this place special is its history. Do yourself a favor, go to their website, and read…read morethe About section. I'd be doing it a disservice by trying to summarize it. Currently it serves as a community center, a school, a barber academy, and it rents space out to artists and dancers and educators and even a publishing house! They have some great community programs and I was there for the Free Vegan Cooking class. The speaker, I believe her name is Rosie Kennedy, was great; equal parts knowledgeable and warm and engaging. She broke down a topic that can be daunting and demo'd a couple of recipes. Highly recommend signing up for any of her future programs if they (hopefully!!) have them. The space itself is not great for a cooking lecture because it's not a kitchen. The speaker did an amazing job, especially with all the constraints but she could have really benefitted from a more functional set-up. The room feels like its seen better days but they do have this super cool canvas wrapped around 2 of the walls that documents the history of the local African American community and the Dunbar. All in all I really appreciate having this resource in the community and look forward to their future programs!
