We had the opportunity to visit this event center in Abilene while visiting ACU. This place is so…read moregorgeous. It was decorated so beautifully with white lights all around on the inside but the vintage and antique feel is what made it a hidden gem. The bathrooms are so clean and designed well. This place is spacious and was able to accommodate a meet in greet, full buffet and then had another room for dining and a presentation. The staff who help serve us food were amazing. I give this place a 10/10. I'm not sure what else this space is used for but it would be amazing to host a wedding reception here as well or company event.

It was delicious i loved the raspberry oat bars and the brownies. I talked with the owners and they said they change their menu based on the season. I've heard they have good breakfast bowls too. I also had an iced coffee which they made to my liking. The coffee is simple but delicious. While there I also saw the owner make a Blueberry Lemon cake that looked delicious. Will go back when I go back through.

pricing was fair/ competitive and Lisa was available ahead of the event to discuss timeline and…read moresong choices. Her communication level lead me to believe the day-off would be significantly better than it was. there was an issue with the ceremony site equipment set up at the venue- that was reasonably stressful for Lisa (and not her fault), and it seemed she was not able to bounce back from it. multiple guest commented that she seemed stressed throughout the night. beyond that our first dance song I don't believe was cut down, there were significant awkward pauses between songs at the reception - I have my Spotify set up to fade into the next song. again Lisa's communication prior to the event was really good- maybe she was just having an off day.

Free hot breakfast in the morning, more than your average waffles at the more modern places. This place is huge! There were families, construction workers, pilots all types staying here. Comfy beds, nice pillows, hot water, fantastic AC and it was way quieter than I expected. I would for sure stay here again. They do have the government rate (although not currently in DTS). It's no super modern Hilton but it's a cool hidden gem.

This is a very nice patio and bar. The building was formerly a funeral home, but the interior has…read morebeen beautifully redesigned and remodeled. Even the restrooms are stylish, with gold fixtures that add a touch of elegance. Drinks are affordably priced between $7-$9. I had the Whiskey Sour, and Gabe--our bartender--prepared it with egg whites, which was a great touch. I also tried the Old Fashioned, which is a pre‑batched pour. I'm perfectly fine with that given the reasonable price point. They use the Toast POS system, so checkout is quick and organized. The business is also within easy walking distance of the DoubleTree--less than five minutes, right in the hotel's backyard. I will definitely return when passing through.

A buddy said its like a club in "The City' no its not.. I lived in The City, NYC. I don't get the feel.

A touch of the city comes to Abilene. I went here last night with some new friends and felt for a…read morelittle while like I could pretend that I had migrated to Dallas, or Chicago, or -gasp- NYC. They have an extensive martini and drink menu and a good assortment of bottle drinks. I did feel that their prices were inflated to big city prices, which just don't really need to be here in Abilene. The bartenders were running their asses off and the DJ was spinning some good mixes. The decor is fun too with a variety of seating and standing options. Other things to consider: 1. no cover! yea! 2. They are only open Thursdays and Fridays. My hope is that this changes with the new location. 3. No food So if you want to feel trendy for the evening head on out.

We're here cause my brother knows the owner. Upstairs has usually been a sandwich/tea room, but the menu is a little more extensive this time.

The elevators is broke, so use the stairs. If your shopping downtown, stop by!
