We knew within five minutes of walking in that this was the right venue for our wedding. The space was charming, full of personality (even cat art, which we loved), and perfect for our 120 guests. Mary was absolutely fantastic. She was responsive, more than helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the perfect wedding day. She worked closely with our caterer and helped with so much behind the scenes, including the setup, logistics, and bar service. Words don't do justice to just how incredible this place and the people who work here are. We highly, highly recommend this space for any special event!

There are lots of little touches here and there that are very unique and a nod to the past. I love the creaky wood floors and they've done an excellent job of keeping as much of the original architecture and building intact. You definitely feel like you're stepping into a bygone era. They had a full bar and very decent drink prices. I would definitely rent out this venue if I needed a space in the future.

Drinks were good and not too terribly priced, which is always a great thing. I always forget about parking in this area and it was a little difficult due to some construction that was going on but that's no fault of the venue. I appreciated the workers that were very quick to come around and pick up empty drinks. The place was very clean and a very good place to enjoy a show.

We really like coming to concerts here. It's a small-ish venue but that's nice when it comes to…read morepacked shows so you still get a good view, good sound, and not a massive crowd to work around. They have tons of beer on tap and mixed drinks on tap. They have surprisingly impressive liquor selection, I was surprised to see a couple amaros, Booker's, and other nice bourbons behind the bar. Reasonably priced tickets and drinks, and we didn't have to wait long in line to get in. The acoustics are good, and the tear down/set up between bands was smooth. It's a great venue to catch a show anytime!

They are 4 and 7, and immediately the extremely friendly front desk clerk made me aware as nicely as possible, that these games are designed for kids 8+. I totally understood as lot of these games are violent, and/or phsycial with the hand tools. However, she graciously allowed them to come back and try some roller coaster rides, my son LOVED it, and my daughter liked it, but as she stated at the beginning these are for older kids so I wasn't surprised. I would definitely recommend coming here with kids in an older crowd. There are so many games and things to play. And clearly they're passionate and friendly, while it wasn't the experience we were looking for, I left feeling really happy we tried it out. I appreciate their customer service!

I wish you could book sessions via their website, but we were able to get appointments secured via email easily enough. We plan to return!

They have tons of stuff going on like bands, comedy shows, and used to have trivia but I don't know if they do anymore - and the bartenders have always been great. There is always something fun happening there, even if it's just a plain old bar night. The drinks are served cold and crisp, and best of all - it's way less expensive than some other bars in the Benson area. A great place for a cheap beer and the best people!
