Beautiful building, friendly staff and good food. When I was there, the music was too loud to have a conversation.

Visited for the first time and it was the most beautiful and amazing experience! The staff were lovely and caring, the atmosphere was amazing, the food and drinks were phenomenal, and the decor was breathtaking. Met the director and she is so very lovely! If you’re looking for a place to go with a fun and relaxing atmosphere, this is it. A mixture of elegance and warmth all tucked into one place where new life was given to a piece of history.

We were seated in the gymnasium because we wanted to hear Tyrone Cotton perform music. It's nothing less than an epic room/space!! The whiskey display is a sight to behold! The whole building is a fascinating place to wander around. The food was solid and the drink options were great! We had a really nice evening and look forward to going back.
