Owner Carrie puts a lot of love and attention into each class and it shows. Her classes are by appointment only and you can book adult paint and sip classes, charity events, and kid-friendly weekly activities alike. If you're looking for great ideas for a bachelorette party, birthday, or just something a little different from the norm- check this place out! She gives step-by-step instructions on how to make your very own gallery-worthy piece of art. (BYOB for paint and sips) Another cool thing? You can actually purchase some of the pieces you see on display! I love that Carrie's unique style shines through each of her canvases. So much so that I've hired her to make a few special paintings for my family and gave them as precious gifts. Lastly, she does events at The Art House or you can hire her to do private parties. I've seen her at bars, restaurants, fairs, and even campgrounds! I HIGHLY recommend Carrie and The Art House. Prices are reasonable and it will definitely be a day to remember. Spots book fast so reserve yours before someone snaps it up. Have fun!

There is not a bad seat in the house. Last minute ticket? Not a guarantee but always worth it if you're around here on a whim. Always wonderful and intimate show.

I've never seen these seats filled but with a huge act like FF it makes sense! Crowds always feel safe with security tight and no bags allowed. They also pour most drinks into cups for safety as well. The light show during concerts definitely provides another fun piece of the atmosphere. Dave suggested they should do a residency here since they love the arena. 5 stars!

Although it is wonderful to have such a venue in our state that draws great acts like John Mayer…read moreand Foo Fighters, there are some downsides worth considering. I'll try to provide a balanced view, because some aspects of the property are worth a lot more than the three stars I gave it. I'll start with the pluses. The staff is uniformly helpful and gracious. "Good mornings" were freely offered and every server at the various restaurants ( we were there four days) was professional and welcoming. Big props to whoever is managing personnel. This is NOT a small achievement for such a large establishment. I also want to give high marks for cleanliness. There were always workers picking up papers etc who were paying a lot more attention than the average worker to anything out of place. We saw one elderly worker brushing out debris from the escalator. Again, kudos to the management for personnel. Our room was adequate and nicely appointed with a magnificent view of the property. Darkening drapes protected us from the rising sun. Parking valet system was efficient and speedy. Now for the downsides. While only two, they were considerable enough to make me rethink a return trip. They are also the reason for writing this lengthy review for fellow YELPERS. Despite the numerous restaurants, there was not one place to eat simple, healthy food for breakfast or lunch. There was only ONE place to eat breakfast and it had no healthy options (oatmeal,yogurt,fruit). On my first day (waiting for my husband for lunch) I actually had to leave the restaurant because the smell of fried food was impossible to endure. Believe it or not, it was our only choice for a table service restaurant for lunch. Dinner choices were far better but one could starve before then. For this size property, maps should have been available in rooms or, at least, on the website. When choosing a place to dine, one had to call and inquire its location. This is a meaningful flaw when, if staying there on business, time is restricted. A few interactive maps were available in common areas but navigation was impossible from the rooms. This is where most guests would likely do their planning. A simple QR code for guests would solve this problem. So, top marks for staffing but too many negatives to warrant more than three stars OR a return visit. I'd love to see John Mayer perform but not there.

This was my first year at TerrifiCon. We purchased tickets (online) for Saturday. On the web site,…read morethey recommend buying tickets online as tickets are $5 more if you purchase at the door ($30 online vs $35 at the door). Unfortunately, they sell them through TicketMaster and after all the fees, you end up paying $36 and change for the ticket. You can buy them at local shops around CT, but I live in Boston. One of the best things about the event is that it's held at Mohegan Sun. Why, you ask? Well, if you need a break from the convention or it's just too crowded you can get a bracelet and step out into the casino and there's plenty to see, eat, or even gamble! I saw soooo many people just sitting on the floor eating food they got at the little concession stand outside the entrance when there are literally 10 other food options if you step out from the convention and walk 5 minutes. I really liked that there were an abundance of comic book vendors. I've been to other conventions (Boston comes to mind) where they are few and far between. Lots of digging to be done and lots of $1 bins to go through. Photo ops and autographs aren't really my thing, but if they are the lineup of celebrity guests was a little...eh. I'm a little surprised to see how many people were waiting for...wait for it...Val Kilmer...in 2019. The other big name was Billy Dee Williams. Eh. Again, photo ops and autographs aren't my thing. Overall, I thought it was a great event and well organized. Will definitely consider coming back next year

Before you say they returned to the locker room to continue pregame prep, nope. They were gone less than 2 minutes and their opponents all stood and faced the flag respectively. Second, the team plays music during play. It's distracting and takes away from the game. It's too bad because the team is good but I won't pay them to be disrespected.

The theater itself is nice and cozy, but there are a few things that could be improved…read more There is no restroom inside the theater so you have to exit the theater and use one of the restrooms nearby, they're not far so that's not the problem. What's annoying is you have to go through security every time you re-enter it isn't like you come out and get your hand stamped so you can get back in quickly. We didn't realize when we left the theater, so when we got in the show early there was no line, then realized there was no restroom so we left to use them before the show started and then were told by the annoyed security employee we had to get in line to get back in, by this time the line was fairly long. This particular show didn't have servers for drink orders, not sure if that's standard or not. The small "bar" is a podium with rolling carts filled with ice so the selections are limited and the canned/bottled drinks cost ~$12 and up. This was ok because it's faster to get your own drinks but I wish the selection was bigger. When I picked my seats online the floorplan did not match what the seating was in person. I purposely picked a section that appeared to have cushioned chairs and a small cocktail table but when we got there my section was actually rows of folding chairs. I loved the show and I'm sure Mohegan has gotten this feedback several times, especially about the bathrooms but the Cabaret has been there for years and years so I'm surprised these problems haven't been fixed. I would go to a show here again because it's nice to be in a smaller venue than the arena but I wish I knew these things before we went so hopefully this will help someone else be prepared.

This is a great intimate style theater. I would guess it probably holds around 250 people…read more When I think of a cabaret theater - I think of plush deep red chairs and very dim lighting. Their interior was more golds and classy looking - it really worked well. They have table seating with some round style booths. Not a bad seat in the place. My only complaint would be that having tables right against the stage is a little awkward for people depending on where the stage performance is taking place you have to crank your neck to try and see - there is not enough room to turn your chairs. They have a bar right inside which is very convenient but no restrooms.
