The Whitewater Music Hall seems to be an old Masonic lodge that has been transformed into a…read moremulti-purpose community center and music venue. In addition to the main hall there is a nice cafe room with places to sit and relax while enjoying beverages from coffee to mixed drinks that can be purchased from the bar. It was the perfect place for Wausau's 2020 Martin Luther King Day event. The main hall provided ample room for the the program which included a band, an awards presentation and the featured speaker. I'm sure that the hall is a suitable venue for concerts and other events as well. The buffet line for the catered meal was in the corridor outside of the main hall which was not ideal (though probably necessary) -- it was quite crowded when everyone was getting their food and the congestion was exacerbated with others coming and going from the main hall to the cafe etc.. The number of tables in the main hall was insufficient for the number of attendees. We, along with many others had to balance dinner plates on our laps and set our drinks on the floor while eating. I'm not sure whether the responsibility for this falls on the event planners or the hall management but it was a definite negative for me. A few other things -- positive and negative. There is a nice display of artwork from local artists displayed on the walls. Even while the MLK event was going on there at least one other small group conducting a meeting in another area of the building. Parking was limited and the cars were parked rather haphazardly (and the ice and snow of January certainly doesn't make parking easy either). We needed to park across the street -- fortunately the county offices located there are closed in the evening.

I've seen many shows here and have enjoyed them all, except that the last two shows I have had the disappointing experience of persons having a full on conversation right behind me. I get that people will talk, but nonstop, throughout a performance, with the doors to the concert hall mere feet behind us? Even worse, each of these times one of the venue owners has been a discussion participant. Again, never not had a great time and the talent is top notch. I'd recommend the owners entertain their friends outside of the room (and perhaps the sound tech turn down the bass).

The main focus is the bar but they do have light bites and specialty nights. When we ordered they…read morespecifically said "the food will come out when it comes, we aren't a restaurant so we will get to the food when we get to it, it's not like an appetizer that will come before the lobster roll." We went for the first time for Lobster roll night and the lobster roll was FANTASTIC! The Burrata and Grasshopper were tasty as well but the Mozzarella Wontons lacked mozzarella and were practically empty inside, maybe a very tiny sprinkle of cheese. I'd go back again for their specialty lobster night in a heartbeat but could do without the other items we had. I'd probably try a few more light bites from the menu. The server was pretty good but left us and other hanging for a long period and many people ended up going to the bar to get help, but again this is mainly a bar and the special night had a place full of patrons for food and I believe our server was the only one for the whole place and then two people solely behind the bar.
