We arrived at 5:30 p.m. and were seated immediately and right in front of the musicians. There were no menus for us but the hostess explained she had run out and would return with them. It took several minutes but she did return with them. We realized there was no bar menu at our table so I took the one from a nearby table. After 15 minutes I spoke to a young woman who was bussing the table behind us and told her we had not yet seen a member of the wait staff. She said she would look into it. Five more minutes went by and I stopped the hostess and told her we had not seen a waiter. She said she would look into it. Another five minutes goes by and finally Isaiah stopped at our table, apologized for our wait and took our drink order. He asked if we were there for the band and I said, "No, we are here for dinner." We ordered two Bantams. Finally, at 6 p.m. we left. Our beers never arrived. There was no apology from the hostess and we let the waiting customers know unhappy we were with the service. No one should have to wait for 30 minutes for a beer at a brewery. We were totally ignored by your staff. We will not return.

How great can the food be, really? Um, pretty freaking great, actually. I got a fish sandwich, which was a long filet of battered and fried fish, served on an ultra-soft hoagie roll, with a little lettuce and tartar sauce inside. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside, and flaky and soft on the inside. It's the type of thing that I didn't want to stop eating, because the combination of textures was just perfect. Handhelds are served with a side, and I chose the side Caesar salad. It was an OK Caesar, and it did its job to satisfy my CaeSal craving. It comes with red onions on top, which is a choice. The service here was great. The restaurant has a big bar in the middle, with TVs showing sports. The whole place is surrounded by windows, so you can see out into downtown Muncie.

From the hostess, who helped us move from outside inside when it was too cold, to our server, everything from start to finish was so great! I opted for the shrimp tacos as well as the pom-pom margarita, and it was such a stellar choice. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I can't wait to go back when in Muncie!

Our party of four ordered four different drinks - and then everyone so much loved their choice, we all reordered the exact same drink for round two. I'd give the bar list and bartender 5 stars. We sampled 3 different flatbreads. Two of them lacked flavor, one was not crispy, but very undercooked. I've seen this complaint more than a few times in reviews so it seems like something they'd address. Snack mix was good. Crostini delicious. Salad nice - although one small piece of avocado on what was billed as an avocado and blackberry salad was a disappointment. I'd rate the food 3 stars. Overall we enjoyed the vibe, the drinks and the mellow live music.

No, it's RoHo's, as in the first two letters of the owners' names: Rogers and Howell. Clever! When I visited RoHo's, the place was hopping. It was comedy night, and I could barely find a seat. I ended up sitting on a couch with three women I didn't know, but they were people who were beautiful and amazing, and did amazing things in the community. I lucked out! The service here is so efficient and friendly. Despite the crush of people, I managed to get my French 77 quickly. It was well balanced and very tasty, and made me feel so much better about being surrounded by strangers. Mostly, though, RoHo's specializes in martinis. The entrance to RoHo's is unassuming, so you might miss it if you're not looking sharp. So, look sharp!

    I'd only seen Ball State University's Emens Auditorium on one occasion, though a recent opportunity…read moreto attend a concert here in which a friend was performing finally gave me the chance to really check it out. The basics: Emens Auditorium is part of Ball State University and is named after Ball State's sixth president - John R. Emens. It was officially dedicated in 1964 after years of planning and no tax dollars were used for what was originally a $3 million facility and Ball State's first capital campaign. Emens originally had 3,581 seats. However, due to upgrades and various seat replacements (along with accessibility upgrades) this is currently reduced to 3,309. Over 1,000 seats are in the balcony alone. There's no question that Emens is considered a regional facility of choice. Performances have included President Ford, David Letterman, Stevie Wonder, Louis Armstrong, Victor Borge, Magician David Copperfield, comedian Adam Sandler, musical Cats, and Les Miserables, Red Skelton, B. B. King, The Temptations, Third Eye Blind, and the Dixie Chicks among many others. Accessible parking is typically located in the lot to the east of the Health Professionals Building off Riverside Avenue. There's also a shuttle available for those unable to walk the distance. There's also an option for patrons to be dropped off in the circle drive located at the main entrance of Emens. Emens does have an accessible elevator and offers accessible seating throughout the auditorium (I personally verified this as sometimes facilities will say this but it's not quite true). Ball State, for the record, has a well-earned reputation as one of Indiana's most accessible college campuses. They also offer swing-arm seating (wheelchair users will understand this) to help with transfers. Emens offers Infrared listening systems for those with hearing impairments and will arrange interpreters with at least two weeks notice (this is a fairly standard time frame, though I'll admit it doesn't thrill me). Emens has restroom facilities on each level and two single-user, generally considered accessible, on the main level. The sound in Emens is pretty close to phenomenal. The event I attended was a more classic era music event and I found sound quality to be pristine. While I didn't move around a whole lot, anywhere I went the sound quality didn't change. Ticket prices obviously vary per event. Generally, I find public tickets to be a notch below your market rate since this is a college campus. Prices for Ball State students are usually quite phenomenal and considering the quality of shows here that's a huge perk of being a student. The same is true for refreshments - I wouldn't expect this to be like your usual concert venue, but there are typically some options available (anything alcohol related is a bit rare but does happen; Ball State is a smoke-free campus). While Muncie isn't that far from Indie, the never-ending work on I-69 can make it a bit of a chore. Getting to Emens is a bit weird if you've never been here and I'd definitely plan some "Do I turn here?" time for the first visit. However, it's easily worth it. Muncie also has a decent hotel scene if you want to stay overnight (I recommend the Courtyard by Marriott which is owned by Arc of Indiana and actively trains and employs people with disabilities). The one thing I can't answer (and would like to as a creative myself) is how accessible the stage/backstage area is for performers with disabilities. I'm going to try to explore this in future visits. Now that I've finally had the chance to experience the fullness of Emens, there's simply no doubt I'll be back. In fact, I'm sitting here looking at the calendar now!

    I've never had a bad seat in this venue. The acoustics are amazing. Sometimes the refreshments are…read morelacking a bit but at $3.00 for domestic beer $4.00 for a glass of wine, it sure is a lot better than an $11.00 amphitheater domestic beer.
