The self-appointed king of events is back at it with another venue review. My most recent conquest?…read moreHale Center Theater in downtown Gilbert. This charming theater is located in the thick of the heart of downtown Gilbert. As far as I could tell, they don't have a parking lot but there is plenty of free street and surface lots close by. Just a few minutes away by foot. All theaters have their pros and cons and Hale is no different. It's a intimate theater that probably can seat a few hundred people tops. Which means there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Well, let's talk about the seats. The space between seats is pretty cramped if you're tall (I'm 6'2"). Let's switch gears again. Concessions consists of snacks (no hot food) and beverages. During intermission, they bring a cart out to the stage so you don't have to go to the lobby. Nicely done! Reasonable prices too for a venue. The lobby area gets pretty packed right before the show. Rather than messing with the traffic jam, I went to the other side of the theater and went to the restroom there. It's a one person restroom (not ideal for a venue) but the restrooms by the lobby are larger. I saw Catch Me If you Can at Hale. Looking forward to my next visit!

I recently moved to the area and have been coming here the past couple of Thursdays for country dancing, and it's been so much fun every time.

I'll definitely be back--and next time I need to try the food!

Thanks so much to Courtney, Logan, and the entire Whiskey Row team for taking such great care of us. We'll definitely be back!

As a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, I was so excited to try this place! I LOVE the atmosphere here;…read moredimly lit and romantic feel. Sometimes seating is difficult with a larger party, as the tables and seating seem a little compact. There are tons of drinks in their menu to choose from. For a speakeasy, I think their pricing is very comparable, and really did not feel as if it was overpriced. The first time I came here I ordered a bees knees cocktail, and last time I enjoyed a generously poured glass of prosecco. I love the atmosphere, location, pricing, and service at this speakeasy. Can't wait to come back.

I have been wanting to try the white rabbit for years and finally made it over! Expectations may…read morehave been a little bit high on my end at no fault of theirs. I did appreciate that the speakeasy was below ground and required a password. I do think it's odd that when making a reservation online, you are not prompted on how to retrieve the password. Thank goodness my friend receives the emails and let me know ahead of time what to say. You enter down a long hallway and wait at a bookcase that opens. It kind of feels like forever because there's nowhere to go and could create a little bit of potential claustrophobia/panic for people who may be sensitive to those types of environments. The drink menu was good but I really wasn't wowed. They did offer three mocktails which wasn't really impressive and the cocktails did include a variety of liquors and flavor profiles but again, wasn't as extensive or interesting as some other speakeasies around town. The food menu was very disappointing - a lot of dairy and bread - pretzels with cheese, flatbread, queso with chips, and "rabbit food" - hummus with bread and vegetables. We asked to have all vegetables instead of bread and they did accommodate with a generous helping of full-size rainbow carrots and cherry tomatoes. We actually ran out of hummus before we could finish the vegetables. I understand elevated pricing for the aesthetic/experience but I did think the pricing here was a little bit high for what was received.

Kinda bummed... I…read morecannot really review this place because as soon as we walked in--we walked right in front of people playing live music. It's not a very large establishment to cram live entertainment inside (IMO) and we stood inside for 5 mins and just had to leave. It was hard to talk to my fiance or have any conversation. To be fair there was seating outside. They have misters but when you want a couple of cold ones with your significant other to unwind from the week--this unfortunately wasn't the move for us today. Reviewing the tap menu they have some promising options so one day we will try to come back on a chill day to finally give this place a try.

We had a great experience here. Was our first time going and didn't disappoint…read more My husband plays baseball over there and I've never noticed this place. It's also combined with the ice rink next door. Our server was probably one of the nicest servers we've ever had. He did seem a little nervous at times. He asked us if we wanted his recommendations and I said yes. That was a nice touch on his part. I wish I could remember his name. I chose the burger and tots. Very good, I wish I had asked for a little pink in my burger but it was still very good. Tots were crispy just how I like them. Husband had the chicken strips and fries. He said they were also good and his fries were crispy too, so good. There's also a bar there and it seemed as if they serviced the ice rink too as I saw them inside cleaning up tables. The door to the ice rink was left open so that's probably why I was a little chilly. Only one con, they charge 1.99 to add cheese to a sandwich which seems a little high. It doesn't bother me though as I don't like cheese on my burger but for someone who does it might deter them from getting it.

It was a little warm so we sat inside. All fhe staff was attentive and friendly. It shares space with an ice rink so the bathroom is located adjacent the ice. Private lot, decent parking and the wings had a nice cook and flavor. Come for sports stay for the good, drinks and atmosphere.

Went here for dinner at the end of August so it was pretty hot out still. We sat "inside" although…read more there was no real partition from inside outside. It was hot, to no fault of the place, but I had a bit of swamp *** by the end of the meal. Drinks were designer. Which is fun, but you dont always truly know what youre getting. My drink said it was smoky and it indeed had a smoky taste to it. Different. They so have beer too, but it is not the standard Coors or Bud Light. As for food, lots going into presentation. Lots of dishes coming out in a smoky bell jar. I got the NY steak, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. Potatoes and asparagus was terrific. For the steak, it was not bad but admittedly im not into cuts that have large fat caps. The cook and the flavoring were fine but nothing mind blowing, especially compared to the potatoes and asparagus. Service was friendly. Served from bar. They let you enjoy your food without constantly asking you gow things were. Honestly kind of reminded me of European type service which was welcome as quite frankly American service comes too often.

PARLOUR DOOM Came…read morethrough on a Saturday night and this small bar was packed and only took about 50 people piled in there to fill it up. The place was not called ROOM for nothin. It felt about the size of a Master Bedroom. There were two 'rooms' actually; the main room and a smaller adjacent room, which would be like a big walk-in closet to this Master Bedroom. The big room had a few standing tables and the small room had some chairs and couches with tables that you can actually sit at. The smaller room contained a mini bar area that that you can also sit at, but was not being used to serve at the time. This master bedroom had a Master of Ceremonies playing music, but he was definitely a Master of Disaster on the turn tables. This D.J. had a pattern where he would play a song and maybe 20 seconds into it, people would start feeling the music, but then he would switch the song. Talk about killin the vibe! Well, there was no cover charge, so maybe that's why there's a neon sign in there that says "No Free Vibes". It was like they were the Vibe Nazis. The other atrocity was how he was tried to mix the tracks. He was trying to mix songs from every genre of every decade. The DJ was overlapping newer songs with older songs, maybe to cater to the age range of the crowd, but the result sounded like he was just messing around for the first time on new turn tables he got for Christmas. He tried to mix songs which didn't even go together or have a mixable beat i.e. 'Macarena' and 'In the End' by Linkin Park. This abomination was an insult to the artists and fans of music in general. To make things worse, the DJ tried to hype the crowd by talking over the mic intermittently, but all he accomplished was interrupting the songs. I almost had second-hand embarrassment for him. It would have been better if he just had a recorded track of songs and just played the preset music. I think you are better off paying for your vibes elsewhere if you want to dance or hear music. You would think, getting people drunk makes everything better and more fun, right? Well if you can't get them drunk because the bar service was taking such a long time, then you are gonna have a lot of bored, sober customers. I did not drink but all I know, for the rest of my group, it was taking 15 minutes to get a couple simple cocktails. You could probably walk to the liquor store across the street and chug a beer quicker than you could get a round of drinks. This place has potential. It was not a bad space overall for a lounge type bar. The décor, aesthetic, and lighting gave it a nice ambiance. They just need to get adequate staff to serve the drinks and play music.
