Line dance event was so refreshing. Not a bar scene, but a good band and people of various ages dancing and having fun. Alcohol and food available, but seemed most there for dance and tge iced water. Great venue - think groups rent it out so events will vary.

Online, the reviews and menu looked fantastic, but my experience was a bit chaotic from the moment I walked in. The hostess podium was empty, and we were left to wander around until we figured out where to go. --- ### The Food The food itself was all right, but the quality didn't quite match the high prices, especially for the cheese curds, which I was not impressed with. However, the parmesan fries—what you call "duck fries"—were amazing and definitely a highlight of the meal. --- ### The Atmosphere & Amenities I really enjoyed the cornhole setup, but the wait for bowling was far too long. On a positive note, the convenient overflow parking was a huge plus, located just a short walk away. --- ### Final Thoughts While I won't personally be returning, I still think it's a place worth checking out. Others might have a different experience, and it's definitely a good spot for people interested in the games and the convenient location.
