We were given two tickets to the show "Camelot" as a gift, as we'd be staying in Butte for a few days. We called the Mother Lode theatre on January 29 to clarify if Camelot was a single showing on Monday March 30th. We were told at that time by the woman in the business office that the show was actually to take place on Tuesday March 31st, and that all tickets had been misprinted (our phone call actually alerted her to that fact, as she had been previously unaware of the error). Due to previous engagements, we would be unable to attend a show on the 31st, and requested a refund. We were told no, due to the fact that the Mother Lode is a non-profit organization and that refunds are a "bookkeeping nightmare." We then inquired about credit toward another show, which was also denied on the basis that each show has differing ticket costs. Even when we offered to pay the difference between the credit and another show's tickets, we were told no. We subsequently tried to sell the tickets, but were unable to do so due to the misprinted date- we were selling tickets to a show that did not, in fact, exist. We found out later that they were willing to refund the cost of the erroneous tickets to anyone showing up on the 30th, but had been unwilling to refund (or even credit) those same tickets months in advance. This was perplexing. We had tickets to a show that did not exist, through no fault of our own. How is it that calling months in advance, in fact alerting them to the misprint, is not legitimate claim to a refund? How is it that they were in fact willing to refund the tickets (despite the aforementioned "bookkeeping nightmare"), but only to people physically present? Were we expected to drive upwards of 8 hours across 3 states to receive a $150 refund due to their own mistake? I am ABSOLUTELY unimpressed. I'm a huge advocate of the performing arts, and support small community theaters avidly, but this whole mess left such a bad taste in my mouth. It's hard to support a business that is so (for lack of a better term) unbusinesslike.

We had a glass of Prosecco and an old fashion, both were delicious. There is a shuffle board table, old Nintendo with excite bike and some slot machines for entertainment but one of the most entertaining things is sitting by the fire place and watching the tv that is positioned over the top. It shows the people who are trying to get in to the speakeasy and their reactions when the door opens. If you're in the Butte area and are looking for a nice place to relax and have a craft cocktail, this is a definite go to.

Big deal, you can just look up pictures online. But this museum is basically an artifact in itself. It's the site of an old Asian noodle parlor and general store from back in the early 1900s, and every effort has been made to preserve the original structure so as you're walking through it, you can really appreciate what it must have been like to be a customer back then. And of course as with any museum they do have artifacts on display, like old menus, plates, merchandise, etc, but when you see it in its original setting it's quite impressive. Plus the entry fee is only $8 so skip your latte at Starbucks for a day and visit this place instead!
