I booked Be Here Now for our college TV show's 25 year reunion. We did the party in the backyard,…read moreand it was the perfect space - looked cool, lots of room for people and a photo booth, water jug set up without us asking, and we were able to play our own music. Our group (around 60 people) ranged from current Ball State students to people who graduated in '02 and everyone had a great time. There were a couple of bartenders, someone working the door, and an audio guy included in the price, plus we got a great deal on pizzas to bring in from Greek's by mentioning our event at BHN. Yes the bathrooms are dive-y, but it's a small tradeoff if you want to have a fun event in a place that doesn't feel like a sterile conference room. Most of us ended up staying past our rental time to afterparty in the bar. Here's hoping this place and The Chug never turn into condos!

Accusations about underage being there is false, there's a stretch or line in between 18&21yr olds…read morewhere 18yr olds cannot pass or enter the bar area. If so, bartenders instruct them to move out and if not they are kicked off the premises. Unfortunately, fakes are generally easier to spot, but it takes time and every establishment falls for a fake, but as a 21 yr old i will call out underage drinkers and ruin there high or fun:) So let's go! BE HERE NOW!

We chose Elm Street to dinner tonight because we had always had good food and good service in the…read morepast. That was not the case tonight. We arrived at 5:30 p.m. and were seated immediately and right in front of the musicians. There were no menus for us but the hostess explained she had run out and would return with them. It took several minutes but she did return with them. We realized there was no bar menu at our table so I took the one from a nearby table. After 15 minutes I spoke to a young woman who was bussing the table behind us and told her we had not yet seen a member of the wait staff. She said she would look into it. Five more minutes went by and I stopped the hostess and told her we had not seen a waiter. She said she would look into it. Another five minutes goes by and finally Isaiah stopped at our table, apologized for our wait and took our drink order. He asked if we were there for the band and I said, "No, we are here for dinner." We ordered two Bantams. Finally, at 6 p.m. we left. Our beers never arrived. There was no apology from the hostess and we let the waiting customers know unhappy we were with the service. No one should have to wait for 30 minutes for a beer at a brewery. We were totally ignored by your staff. We will not return.

Doesn't the name Minnetrista make you think that you'll be visiting a place with puppets? Like…read moremarionettes, right? Well, I hate to disappoint you, but there are no puppets or marionettes here. But there is an exhibit dedicated to Ball jars. Fun fact: Minnetrista was created by the Ball family, who created Ball canning jars, which you can learn about here. They are also the "Ball" behind Ball State University, which is located in Muncie. I had no idea! You will learn interesting facts like these, and others about this area of Indiana, at Minnetrista. The main museum itself is a bit small, and part of it is conference and meeting rooms. But the museum is just one part of Minnetrista. This is actually a 40-acre campus with gardens and paved trails. As you stroll along the grounds, you'll come across some houses. Some of the houses are part of Minnetrista, and you are welcome to pop inside and check out what's going on. What's going on in one of them is an exhibit dedicated to Bob Ross, the painter. At the Bob Ross Experience, you can step inside the historic home where The Joy of Painting was filmed, and see some of the actual filming equipment and art supplies that were used to create the television show. It's sort of surreal that Bob was painting his happy little trees right here in humble Muncie. Some of the houses that you encounter are not a part of Minnetrista, but belong to IU Health or other entities. It's not really clearly marked on the houses which is which. I'm sure if you consulted a map, it might tell you! I consulted no such map, and I was just walking around blindly. I visited during the late fall, when it was cold and the gardens were dormant, for the most part. But I bet this place is amazing in the spring and summer, when everything is in bloom.

Minnetrista is an event center and museum that was built in 1988 by the five Ball brothers. The…read moremodern center is part of a complex of museums and gardens on the former Ball property that sits across from the White River in Muncie. There is an admission fee to visit the galleries of $15/adult and $12/child, but the ticket grants admission to the other museums and garden as well. During our visit, we saw the Narwhal exhibit, which is a small exhibit dedicated to narwhals. A curator greeted us at the entrance and was available to answer questions. My granddaughter is a narwhal fan enjoyed the interactive displays. We also visited a special children's exhibit called Good Night Forest. Again a curator welcomed us and invited us to build a backpack and enjoy the nighttime activities set up for the kids. My granddaughter loved the firer fly dance, wandering through the dark forest listening for animals and the shadow puppet show. There were fun and educational activities suitable for all ages. We also visited a permanent exhibit describing the Ball Store History. I liked seeing all the vintage items and describing them to my granddaughter. We also toured a display for a local artist competition. The staff is super friendly and engaging. The center is immaculate and accessible. There is plenty of parking in their dedicated lot. Minnetrista is a great legacy from the Ball family to the community. Exhibits change and can be found on their website. I highly recommend a visit if you like art and history.

Muncie Brew fest! Great day and beautiful weather. Thank you for wonderful time and my first time…read morein Muncie. The building is very old, but well kept. They have so many rooms with different features on the walls. Old features like you would see in a cathedral. The event was crowded but not overly crowded. You were able to get through the fest in 1 1/2 hours. There was about 20 vendors to taste. I didn't know Indiana had so many breweries. We didn't eat in the area. I looked but couldn't find anything that sounded good. We wanted something different than a burger at the ale house. I look forward to exploring more of Indiana. After 4 years there is allot to see and do here in Indiana.

The food hit the table at the same time within 15 minutes. Everyone enjoyed their Mexican dishes. Follow up on food and water refills was conducted. I enjoyed my Buritto California.
