I hold Shawbucks/The Press Room near and dear to my heart because this place was a big part of my…read moreyoung adulthood and life as such an avid music fan and foodie. This is THE place to see bands within an hour radius. Through the years they've consistently had the best lineups and best dance area. I'm updating my review because what was already an AMAZING place has gotten even better throughout the years. I last reviewed them in 2016 and have had 25 Yelp confirmed check ins since. I've been to Shawbucks/The Press Room AT LEAST 60 times since 2016, but I'm bad about remembering to check in on Yelp. Let's start with the amazing owner who treats bands and staff so well. He genuinely loves and takes pride in his business which shows. Bartenders hustle! Wednesday before Thanksgiving We Speak Canadian had the bars, tables, and dance floor PACKED shoulder to shoulder. Bartenders were ontop of it and wait times were very reasonable. No favoritism at all, everyone was served promptly. Even bouncers and the owner helped clear tables, the stage edge, bathrooms, and random places people leave empty drinks. This is a safe place to see bands that tolerates zero nonsense. Security are very active and present. IDs are checked and rules are enforced to maintain a safe comfortable venue. Even metal shows aren't too rowdy. Food is absolutely amazing! Best mushroom gravy meatloaf of my life. Amazing sword fish filet. Mind blowing risotto. Great wings with a great sauce selection. Solid chicken fingers/tenders. Fresh crisp salads. Great dressings. Perfectly made cocktails. Large beer selection. Friendly fast waitresses. Very clean place! No sticky bar floors, menus, or tables. I highly recommend them for food and going to see bands live! Side Note: I got teary eyed when DJ Fish's daughter got on stage to announce We Speak Canadian. RIP DJ Fish, he was such a big part of Jamestown's music scene and a wonderful man. It was cool to have him honored like that. He's missed.

The tasting room itself has bar seating and lots of space. It has a dark, rich vibe. You are able view wine making equipment and pleasant displays of spirits and other items for purchase.

The wine itself was okay. We would consider returning to enjoy their outdoor space on another visit. The only frustrating thing about our visit was that at the very end when we went to pay, we found out that we could not tip using a credit card. This was unexpected.

The bar at the front was also open for cocktail hour. The rocking chairs on the porch are a nice touch. This hotel makes you feel like you've stepped back in time, truly amazing how much history there is in here. However it definitely needs more love and upgrades, including some critical ADA-compliant updates for their bathrooms. Additionally, I'm unsure how this venue can hold large events without any sort of dedicated parking area, I had to park about a half mile away. This would be a great place to stop if you're already walking around the area, as the bar has a good selection of drinks to choose from, and is open to the public.

You know it's a Fair not a Carnival when you hear over the loudspeaker, "Would a vet report to the…read moreDairy Barn as soon as possible?" It seems like the entries for jams, jellies and pickles are a smaller group every year. Maybe the farmers are retiring! There are still spectacular quilts hanging from the rafters, and adult and junior photography samples line the walls. 4-H has it's own pavilion now, behind the Domestic Arts one. While the market goats, sheep, rabbits and calves are in other barns, there are dioramas explaining how a successful farmer (of any age!) raises an animal. Like the Erie County Fair, the Cattaraugus County Fair has a booth by the Department of Health where one can get a free, wrapped dose of nasal narcan. (DH and I saved a teenager from an OD last month in Ontario; but that's another story). So yes, we did each want another dose of antidote. Request it, sign for it, watch a one minute explanatory cartoon, and away you go. The DOH booth is under the grandstand seating, next to a concession that sells slices of a dozen different varieties of pies. (Yelpers, you have an assignment!) The vibe is very much a celebration of farm life: Lots of teenagers in cowboy boots and rodeo shirts; little kids in face paint, and grown men with hats of the type of tractor they favor. It's such a small Fair, as a parent you can be confident about letting the teenagers or older children have a "free-range" experience with their friends. It's fenced, so it's well contained, and there's volunteer FFs, EMS, mounted patrol, and sheriff's deputies from all over the county. The gate fee includes the cost of all rides: $17 cash, $18 credit, free if the child is younger than two. Parking near the gate is $5, which goes to support local youth programs; there's free parking about a quarter mile down the sidewalk from the gate.

It's disgusting that they allow smoking in the food areas, petting zoo, and at the rides. These…read moreplaces are full of children! Even though it's outside the air is disgusting! My niece, nephew, and I smelled like friers and ash trays when we left. I don't get the appeal to staying all day and night. I like the events, but the rest of it sucks. All the food is overpriced and not very good unless it's funnel cake or taffy. The fried dough is just over floured pizza dough with sugar sprinkled on it served cold. I mean campi pizza is literally a flavorless loaf of bread with a tiny sprinkling of cheese that doesn't even cover the sauce and 4 thin slices of pepperoni for $5 a slice *gag*. The demolition derbies, truck pulls, concerts, and monster trucks are cool, but other than that meh. I recommend going at night to see an event getting taffy and funnel cake before it and racing out after.

This was our third stay at the Athenaeum, and we've now spent the last two years in Suite 8. We've…read morealready booked our return for 2027. Suite 8 has become our favorite room. It has its own private entrance and porch, and it's located right next to the Amphitheater. One of our favorite parts of the week is sitting on the porch in the evening and listening to the concerts without ever leaving the room. We still love the Athenaeum for its history, charm, and unbeatable location. Being able to purchase our Chautauqua gate passes through the hotel is another nice perk. They're printed and waiting for us when we check in, making arrival quick and easy. So why did I lower my rating from five stars to four? Housekeeping has changed noticeably since our first visit. During our week-long stay, the room was never actually cleaned. Towels were replaced and the trash was emptied, but the floors weren't cleaned, the bed linens weren't changed, and the room was never refreshed beyond the basics. We also ran into a maintenance issue. Although the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in the shower were full, none of them worked. We ended up buying shampoo and conditioner from the Plaza store and relying on the bar soap provided by the hotel. Neither issue ruined our stay, and we'll absolutely be back. But for a hotel of this caliber, I expect housekeeping and basic room maintenance to be better than what we experienced this year.
