A nice man at the bar gave me a slice of his pizza and it was really good and apparently you can also bring in your own food too.

The list of martinis is extensive and considering they have a martini for every taste profile, you can't go wrong. Even though they all looked good, I couldn't help but go with my favorite Three Olives Grape and Sprite with a lime. The atmosphere was lively as there were pockets of people in deep conversations, people playing pool, and others happy to be there in the moment. I mostly sat on the couch while my boyfriend and his friend played pool. The couch was super comfy, which is always a plus. While we didn't stay long, I certainly enjoyed my there and def intend on coming back to try some martinis!

I love that fact that they offer craft cocktails. The bar area is intimate and cozy. Since we just left from practically next door and enjoyed a plethora of cocktails. I couldn't drink any more nor did I want to. I follow them on IG to see what's the latest happenings and cocktail creations. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door with smiling faces. As soon as I walked in the door I was so excited for this game room because it's not typical. It's clean and intimate, like an upscale parlor. The bar is inviting and cute. The games are beyond reasonable. We love ski ball and it's located in the center of the game room against the wall with several attached, so you have to be crammed next to other patrons. Ski ball is only $0.50 a game and if you score high enough it automatically resets to give you another game. Where can you play ski ball this cheap. They also have pin ball games, arcade games, board games and more. We played several games of Connect Four-----CLASSIC. They have comedy night and karaoke in addition to gaming. We absolutely love this spot, can't wait to return.

I've been wanting to go here for decades for their Third Friday events, but I've somehow never made it. So getting to attend an event there was a great way to finally see the space. They have their own parking lot, which is a huge plus because parking in this area can sometimes be a little hairy. Once you walk inside, it's a big, open space that is set up for banquets and events. They host weddings and other types of gatherings, and there was plenty of room for everyone. They had high cocktail tables as well as lower tables where you could actually sit, and everything felt nice and roomy. I was also impressed with the acoustics. There was someone speaking on a microphone, and there was no annoying feedback or echo. You could actually hear what everyone was saying, which can be surprisingly hard to find in a large event space. The food at our reception was mostly finger foods--hummus, ranch, salsa, chips, pita bread, vegetables, what looked like couscous, a small salad in a cup, and fruit. Nothing was particularly spectacular, but it was good, easy-to-eat food for an evening reception. Now, the homemade cherry Coke was another story. WOW. I haven't had one that good in a long time! I definitely wasn't expecting that to be one of my favorite parts of the evening, but it was amazing. There was also beautiful glass artwork throughout the space, which I'm assuming was made right there at the studio. The decor really adds to the atmosphere and makes the venue feel unique. If you're looking for an event venue that is different from the typical banquet hall and has something interesting for everyone, I would definitely check out Third Degree Glass Factory. I'm not sure what other food options they offer for events, but the space itself was very nice, felt safe, had great parking, and I loved all of the glass artwork and decor. I'm just glad I finally made it here after all these years!

There was also enough room for setting up a food station. There were also drinks available the evening I was there- local beer from a keg, specialty cocktail of the evening, or soda. The building is obviously very old, but the interior seems very well kept. Seems like it was many buildings that have been converted into one- remember to look up while inside to see the unique architecture making up the roof/ceiling! There were some local kids running around the place, eating pizza, and playing games during the networking event. They were welcomed with open arms by the folks running the event. That just shows how awesome the owners are- welcoming everyone and really becoming a part of the community.

You can comfortably seat 24 with space to mingle indoors and 24 (six tables of 4) outdoors. The garden patio is lovely and it was nice that it was covered and offered ceiling fans to keep the humid August air moving. I was disappointed in the lack of communication from Neil. I sent emails, but he never responded. I called a week later and someone told me he was out of town. He should get an auto-response for his emails if he plans on leaving town. He also said he would have the space set up (tables and chairs arranged) the night before my event, but when I arrived that day he was still in the process of setting up. That took time away from decorating the room and setting up the food buffet. Be aware the table linens they offer are the size of table toppers and only hang down about 3 inches, so plan on ordering your own table clothes. Overall the space is nice and the price is reasonable, but the coordinator is not very organized.
