We attended The Falls 25th anniversary event which happened to be on St Pats day. It caught my…read moreattention because one of our favorite local bands was playing at the event. They advertised it as free admission with cash bar and food. I reserved a table for 10. Arriving at the event we learned that the tables actually weren't reserved and only sat 8 people. Ha. We had arrived in plenty of time to get a good table and pull up a couple of chairs. No problem. Cash bar was staffed by experienced people who provided great service. The St Pats day food was served buffet style- we kept looking for a place to pay for our food but it was free! And quite frankly delicious. Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes served stew style. Cornbread or French bread, Ham and bean soup also served. Cupcakes for dessert. Another bonus was the band starting early. Woo hoo. One suggestion for management- seek out better quality of wine. I know Wild Sun is happy to work with you on that. (No I am not affiliated with them at all I just heard Mark say that)

Not a huge deal, but undesirable when you're trying to enjoy a meal Turns out, the meal was not enjoyable because 2 of the side dishes were cold! Not lukewarm, cold! Ruined the whole meal I mentioned same to the manager whose reply was "hmm, I was the last one to eat and mine was not cold" Well everyone at my table agreed that 2 items on their plate was not warm at all. Did the manager think I was making up a story ????? Further convo resulted in no offer to talk to the kitchen staff in order to prevent this from happening again, just a terse "sorry" I will not be back

The space is perfect for a reception or any type of small or large gathering. It's open and you create the theme of your choice. The room houses two large bars and plenty of space for a buffet setup, cake stand, picture booth and much, much more. The lighting is great for phot ops and really helps to display the decor and cleanliness. It's really just a great space all around and there is soo much that you can do with it to capture whatever essence you are going for. The staff was super attentive and nice and what's crazy I ended up at the second bar towards the back because it was closer to our table. The young man whom was tending bar that night looked all of 18 but he was a master craftsman at concocting cocktails and super knowledgeable about drinks. He was very professional and quite nice. I would definitely use the space for a future birthday or event.

Okay, let's stop the rant right there and turn this thing around: Next year, head to St. Joseph's Croatian Hall. Yes, it's a church. But Croatians wrote the book on breaking the rules of engagement. Slivo shots before mass, on the premises? Not unheard of. Slivo shots after mass? Standard. What I'm trying to say is... you won't be missing anything by making St. Jo's your MGHQ. The perks: - Free parking in lot if you get in by 9am (for the true warriors, indeed) - $5 cover gets you in/out privileges all day - Beer hall-style seating in the old hall and round tables in the new hall - Clean restrooms in both halls (short lines!) - An adorable (too young for me) DJ who'll play all your requests (Shake Your Tail Feather, anyone?) - $3 beer/$6 hurricanes/and unlimited I'm-sure-they're-cheap brandy shots - $6 turkey legs, $5 hamburgers and $1 warm + soft pretzels - Free battered and bruised love life empathy from old Croatian men who nod in understanding but don't understand a damn word you're saying (yes, I witnessed this) - If you end up *falling asleep* here, you're stumbling distance from either the 8am English mass or 10am Croatian mass Now if I could just wash away this stamp... 'til next year, St. Jo's! *Cash only.

It's honestly breathtaking and it makes me wish we put this much artistry into modern airports. I feel as if folks from the 1920s would think we'd really gone downhill if this was their baseline for travel decor. I love that this space has been transformed into an elegant hotel lobby and that you can work from here, or enjoy a coffee or beer while taking in the impressive ambiance of the space. Something I didn't love was the giant roach I saw scurry by, and also that you aren't allowed to bring in outside food or drink. I do get that they have a kitchen, but it's also the hotel lobby and I tend to think a hotel lobby should function as a gathering place and be a little more welcoming in that way. Just a small note though. It is a gorgeous space.

Small town living has both it's advantages and disadvantages, fortunately I'm still waiting for the…read moredisadvantages to make their appearances since I haven't come across any yet. One advantage I've learned is having the Jefferson county fairgrounds about 15 minutes from my house. in the 3 years I have lived here, I have attended several fairs and events at the fairgrounds, and had a most enjoyable time each visit. Located in the Hillsboro Mo, the county seat of Jefferson county, the fairgrounds offer several events throughout the year, ranging from the county fair to tractor and truck competitions. I've attended a few events and each time I have had more than a mere pleasant time. sitting under the stars being entertained by a country music performer is a most delightful way to spend a warm summer night while stretched out on a blanket with a few cold ones by your side. the only downside to the whole experience is with parking issues, the fairgrounds pack them in when the fair is going on, and parking tends to get a little tight and scarce, but as long as you have a single ounce of patience, you should be able to navigate well and overcome your aggravations with the other drivers.. Jefferson county fairgrounds has a website that is very useful when planning on attending an event there, and the ticket sales for the fair are usually discounted for a short time before full price has to be paid. if your looking for a fun way to spend a hot summer evening, then head over to the Jefferson county fairgrounds, walk the midways and get enticed by the smell of fair foods floating in the air, and the sounds of people having a good ole time.. and take a moment out and enjoy things for a while..

This is a top notch venue, with great service, beautiful grounds, and a lot of interesting things to look at! We had a small party (around 50 people) and all of our guests raved about it. We had a gorgeous afternoon/evening, and our guests were happy to mingle on both the covered deck and the patio, as well as stroll around the grounds and down to the huge lower patio. All of the mentioned places have a beautiful view of the Mississippi and bluffs. The kids at the party LOVED running all around and watching the tugboats and barges on the river. We brought a bunch of things to occupy them and literally got nothing out, as they were happy for the entire 4 hours running around the grounds. The venue provided the set up, linens etc, as well as the bar services. They recommended a caterer, Gregory's Creative Cuisine, which we used and were also thrilled with. They also provided security for parking, as the parking is on the street (though there is a long drive where you can drop off and pick up guests at the door). The security guard was very friendly and helpful. I believe he was an off duty or retired police officer for the city as well. I'm not one to feel nervous in the city but it was a nice touch. As a bonus, the welcoming committee was a quartet of beautiful chicken ladies, which also thrilled the guests! Overall, just a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this venue for an unforgettable party. I know that the guest of honor and our guests won't forget it any time soon!
