My buddy came into a few tickets for a Music Festival Fund Raiser (?¿) Don't quote me on that but I…read moreswear that's what they told me the event was that evening. Alas, I digress.. The place is constructed of exclusively wood, exposed brick & old sheet metal. It had an immediate charm about it for sure and overall would be a great place for an event. We parked in the large lot on the same plot as the building. My first reaction to the place was how cool and aesthetically pleasing it is - especially for the little neighborhood it's in:/ They've got a relatively large, healthy lawn in the back with the the little bulb lights that everybody likes. There was also a stage out back but it wasn't being used when I was there. From the parking lot you take a few steps up to the floor level of the wrap around porch. As you actually enter the building you enter into the smaller of the two main chambers. There will be a bar to your immediate right and the larger, stage room to our left. Naturally there was a band playing in the larger, banquet style room. As mentioned it had a stage on the far end and also a bar with plenty of open space for seating/dancing/tom-foolery. On a quick side note, the bar had a quite expansive and modestly priced assortment of your typical offerings. I will say the bartender I had knew nothing about the local beer much less helpful wine and spirit suggestions - he was friendly though :) Another quick side note, the caterer, The Habana Club, was EXCELLENT and offered extremely delicious and authentic Cuban fare. DEFINTELY check them up if you're in the area and into that sort of thing. TL;DR Definitely worth using for a private party or trying to get into the next local event they're hosting. Until next time.. CHEERS !!!

Looking for a fun brew pub with a cool outside area? Add this place to your list…read more The area around Lafayette has several cool brew pub options. Mandeville needs to step up its game. Adopted Dog is dog focused and makes solid beer with good food. If you don't like beer, you can still eat good food in a good atmosphere. If you don't like beer and don't like dogs, you may be out of luck. The beer. I have only been here a couple of times so I have not ventured too far into their beer offerings. I have had three different styles and all ranged from good to very good. The food. Cheese curds - get the sampler platter. Three different types of cheese curds that are lightly fried and totally good. Who knew fried cheese curds could be delicious? I guess the Wisconsin people and Canadians but now you know too. Brussel sprouts - Just get them. Crispy and tasty is all you need to know. Smash burger - If you like smash burgers, you will like this one. I don't (i prefer a thick patty), so it was fine, but again, not my preference. The outside area is very cool. While there are long tables, games, and TVs, there are also Adirondack chairs. Sitting in those, drinking a beer, and feeling the breeze transports you elsewhere. It is the spot to be. Check out Adopted Dog. You will bee glad you did.

I experienced the most disgusting and disturbing time on April 16, 2023, as I catered a Bridal…read moreShower at this place, well at John Nickerson House which is owned by the same people. Originally the event was suppose to be held here but it was changed by the management team due to maintenance. Assistant Beth Maitland embodied the most disrespectful, undermining, distasteful, unprofessional, unpleasant, and harassing behavior. She stayed the whole time at the event and expressed these nasty behaviors. I have never experienced this event before. I will never recommend anyone to book here or work an event connected to this establishment. I and all of the guests did not feel welcome. Everyone was uncomfortable and had horrible stories to say about Beth's behavior. I strongly believe it was due to discrimination. I have proof of everything I am stating. An example; As I was preparing dishes, Beth grabbed a piece of bacon out of a wrapped pan without my permission. The sense of empowerment and entitlement allowed her to perform in these ways. I am a professional first who owns a catering company. This is not how you conduct busines.. This is beyond sad and disgusting.

I tried to book tickets but found that the website said "sales ended." It may be a long shot, but I gave them a call to see if I could get tickets. By this point, it was 4pm the day before the show. Daisy answered the phone and told me there were still a few seats and actually opened the sales so I could purchase tickets. That was impressive to me. We got there early and were welcomed warmly by costumed employees. The actors were already in character. The bartender went above and beyond to keep us happy, even recommending a place within walking distance where we could continue the evening after the show. The decor was very nice. We didn't figure out whodunnit (the team who did got cool prizes) but really had a great evening and would definitely recommend the facility and the murder mystery to anyone looking for a fun evening.
