We had my sisters baby shower here a few months ago and the venue was absolutely perfect! There was about guests and the room was the perfect size. Throughout setting up and the whole afternoon the staff were so attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing, I honestly can’t fault anything. The perfect venue for a celebration. Thanks again!

The venue has it all. Me and my husband love to watch the football here and the generous drink and food deals make it that little more exciting. Always a great crowd too. We also had a private function in their new Lola’s function space and it was absolutely stunning. The decor was to die for and everyone that attended fell in love. The staff definitely make this venue and they were so helpful. We’re already planning our next family party!
