"Visited this place on an open to public night when there is entertainment. The people were friendly. They draw an older crowd 50 and up as a whole.

"A decent venue without being overly classy. Drinks prices were okay but you had to watch them open the little bottles of wine and poured into a cup. It's a nice place to rent to have your own private party."

— Jeff Slyn
