Brambly Park is an excellent date-night spot with a great balance of food, drinks, and atmosphere…read more We grabbed cocktails at the bar before our reservation, and the drinks were well-made with a lively but comfortable pre-dinner vibe. We did the $45 Date Night Special, which is a great value and includes a bottle of Brambly wine with dinner. I ordered the vegan spaghetti and was genuinely impressed -- flavorful, hearty, and clearly intentional, not just a token plant-based option. It paired really well with the wine and felt satisfying without being heavy. The space itself is open, social, and stylish, making it easy to enjoy conversation without feeling overwhelmed by noise. Service was smooth and the pacing of the night felt natural. Whether you're going on a date or just want a fun spot to enjoy good drinks and food, Brambly Park is definitely worth checking out.

The place is FILTHY! My family rented the hall for my Aunts…read morerepast/repass. When my husband and I arrived the night before to drop off our items, my cousin who rented the hall had not yet arrived. She was still picking up last minute items. The owner and her son were there. The owner introduced herself and said she was leaving but her son whom she introduced would be there. He would be on the other side doing a photo shoot. She said we could go in and drop off the items. We asked if we could stay to wait for my cousin. She agreed. I called my cousin to see how soon she would be arriving. Not long after, my other cousins arrived to set everything up. She asked if I could help by putting the tablecloths on the tables. I started putting the tablecloths on them and noticed how dirty the tables were. I politely asked the owners son if we were responsible for cleaning the tables or were they? I emphasized politely because I didn't want to come across as rude or condescending. After all we needed a place for the next day. He shrugged his shoulders. I then found some cleaning supplies and began cleaning the tables. I couldn't believe how filthy they were and pointed this out to the owner son. To which he replied "well aren't you covering them with tablecloths?" I explained that wasn't the point. I could visibly see that he wasn't pleased with me pointing out the filth. While cleaning the tables I noticed that some of the chair covers were very stained, one had a bright red stain and others were just stained With dirt spots. I showed this to the cousin that was there setting up. My husband joined in with helping clean the tables so I could put the tablecloths on them to speed up things. That's when we both noticed the dirty floors. That included a dead roach and some cake.We had already noticed earlier that the carpet on the platform was filthy. My husband nicely asked for a broom and the owner son stated that he had swepted the floor. My husband pointed out that it was still dirty and showed him the dead bug. The owner son replied with "oh that's just a water bug". My husband said " nobody wants to see a dead bug on the floor when eating". The owner son replied with " we rent all the time and we sweep our floors!" My husband then pointed out the cake on the floor and I said the floor where I was standing had stuff on it as well. To which he replied " we'll keep in mind that you track stuff in upon entering the building and we need to check our energy"! My husband pointed out the fact the we didn't bring cake into the building. I pointed out that my other cousins entered the building at the other end of the room therefire they couldn't track anything down the end where we were standing inside the building. I then replied that " our energy is in check, in fact it was his energy that changed after I pointed out that the tables were filthy earlier". He then continued to say " check your energy, we should be uplifting each other." I replied that "I support my people but I also expect the same excellent service from my people that I would expect from any other race!" He told me again to "check my energy". My husband then reiterated that it was his energy that needed to be checked and pointed out that his demeanor is showing in the way he was sweeping the floor". My cousin who rented the hall arrived. I informed her of the situation and she said "oh that's what his mom was talking about when she called my sister asked her who was there giving her son a hard time." So instead of the owner asking about our concerns she cared more about her grown son feelings. She NEVER once addressed the concerns of the people renting the hall. And her son never completed sweeping. I do not recommend this place at all! If you do be sure that your contract includes cleanliness and maintenance/up keep of the floor that is in desperate need of waxing prior to your event. Parts of the ceiling panels are also in need of repair. You have been forewarned!

This is a really fun event space. It used to be the Studio Two Three location. I've been back for a…read morecouple music events and have enjoyed the space a lot. Near the entrance they usually serve some drink or food with tables up front then near the back they'll have a very intimate performance space. There is plenty of free street parking nearby. This is located in Scott's Addition. It can also be used as an affordable wedding venue. I love the bathrooms here. They are fully stocked with thoughtful things like hair ties and floss. They have a women and men restroom. I last went for a WRIR fundraiser that was incredible. They opened one of the garage doors for a food truck to serve food from. I love the way the space is divided so you can have room for dancing/music as well as sitting down. I'd recommend hosting an event here.

Ginter Park is a quintessential turn of the century upper middle class neighborhood. Originally…read moredeveloped as part of the expansion North along the newly expanded streetcar line, this recreation association acts as a summer cultural and social gathering spot for the residents of Ginter Park and surrounding neighborhoods. The building is a beautiful Arts and Crafts/Shingle Style building that was originally used as a school and meeting house/town hall. It is now the main club house for the GPRA. I personally join the pool each summer as it provides me with an escape from the daily grind. There are three pools. An adult, kids, and wading pool. There are nice gas grills and a raised sun deck. Bathrooms with showers are also provided for pool users. You can even bring a cooler of cold adult beverages! The clubhouse is nicely landscaped and kept up on the outside but lacks central air conditioning and is thus always hot in the summer. It is available for private parties for members. Membership is relatively affordable and rates ban be seen on line. There is also a swim team called the Dolphins. It is both child and adult friendly. Many 20 and 30 something singles hang out by the adult pool and there is a festive party atmosphere on weekends, the pools are even open until 10pm on Saturday. Single membership is a one time fee of $350 and a family membership one time initiation is $580.

Trainers are mostly good, engaged, knowledgeable but a few I have seen them on the phone not as engaged. The reason for the 2 stars is this place is filthy dirty. I don't think have ever cleaned the bathroom ever since they opened over 30 years ago. It's very disappointing to see them being so cheap to hire a janitor to clean weekly for the health of our kids. Everyone is probably breathing mold, I wish this place could get audited for health inspection it would fail in a second.

There were a ton of tables lined up outside with a variety of vendors. Then you head inside to see even more! Everyone was very kind. Up front there's a large beer selection with a few ciders and seltzers. My husband and dad chose to get a flight of 6 beers where they explained that they take regular beers and spruce them up with different flavors and such. I'm not a huge beer person but I got a cider, forgot the name but it tasted like apple pie, and it was delicious. I also got chips and cheese and although they were your cheap gas station chips with some microwaved cheese they were only $4 and I was happy with them. They were a nice snack while we sat and chatted. The staff was very kind. My only complaint is that the cheese dip cups are smaller than the chips lol, you have to breaks the chips in half to dip them! And they're tiny chips!
