The Keybank State theater is the first and largest of the Playhouse Square theaters constructed…read more Known for it's extremely long lobby you can see huge and beautiful murals on all 4 sides. The theater's history dates back to vaudeville where live stage shows were presented featuring long gone celebrities such as Abbott and Costello, Jack Benny, and Judy Garland. It later became a movie house before transforming into what it is today. Due to it's size it is able to present musical extravaganzas such as "Hamilton", and "Miss Saigon" which was the reason for my visit. My husband and I had great seats but they felt hard and we were cramped. Seems like they should have updated these as well. Before entering the theater you pick up your Playbill or whatever they call it here near the end of the lobby. Friendly people known as "red coats" are extremely willing to help you with whatever you need. I was excited to see the updated production that dated back to the 90s. The performance started out okay but we had difficulty hearing part of the opening scenes. Were it not for the fact I'm familiar with this production I would have been lost. Miss Saigon is an outstanding production of survival during the last days of the Vietnam war. We meet 17 year old Kim, forced to work in a bar run by the notorious Engineer-expertly played by Red Concepion. She meets and falls in love with Chris, an American GI but torn apart during the fall of Saigon. She, for 3 years tries to find her way back to him, who has no idea he has fathered a son. The story is heart-wrenching since one can only pity the fates of the mixed breed children as emphasized in the number "Bui doi." The songs are phenomenal but the best part is the use of special effects. The famous helicopter scene is recreated with such authenticity it makes you wonder how it is done. Along with a Chinese dragon and a Cadillac on stage, exceptional singing and solid acting, the show itself is definitely a 5 star rating in my opinion. The restrooms are in the basement right outside the doors leading into this theater but they have first floor handicapped facilities available. Since this theater sits behind the Connor Palace theater you can exit via a side door instead of waiting a long time once the show is over. That works if you have orchestra seats and you get out fairly quickly. The Keybank theater is one of many theaters which are all connected which is better known as Playhouse Square. Preshow talks are given in the "Allen" theater about an hour before showtime and in addition to a parking garage you can find street lots nearby as well as places to eat. With the exception of the cramped seating and some poor acoustics this theater hosts some of the finest productions I've seen during my visits here. Definitely recommend "Miss Saigon" if you are here or if it comes to your city. Take the time to check out the architecture and the beautiful murals in the long lobby from the 2nd floor food area. It's worth seeing if you have the time.

The selection was good, though when I went, their humidor was running a bit low. Still, I found a Romeo y Julieta among their stock that was relatively well priced for the brand and the size.

BYOB, they don't serve alcohol here; just bottled water and soft drinks.

Parking was difficult, perhaps due to an event at the park across the way, but after a spin around the block I found a spot right in front. Service was friendly and helpful.

Im addition to a solid cigar selection, I recommend the Arturo fuente hemmingway, they also offer some drinks and coffee as well and have very comfortable seating and whatever you want on the TV.

Event: 25th anniversary celebration Mission: To surprise…read morethe couple with a Flash Mob Dance !! About a month ago, I talked to a lovely lady named Marty about using the lighthouse for our flash mob dance. She seemed as excited about the idea as we were! She went out of her way to help us with this project. We asked if we could go up into the lighthouse to film it from up above. But there was some construction going on. She actually talked to the construction workers to see when they were going to be inside to try to make it ready for us to go up! So when the day came, Marty was there to greet us and show us how to get up to the top of the tower. She even stayed to watch our crazy group of friends stream out from behind the lighthouse and dance to a special song for our special couple. We had an absolute blast! And Marty was a big help! Everyone at Fairport Harbor seems to really want to contribute to the community vibe and make sure that everyone feels welcome. We're very thankful to have such a beautiful lighthouse and beach and friendly folks in Fairport

There was a really cool ship like room with all the old controls around the room to give the feeling of piloting a boat. Seeing the original fresnel was also pretty memorable. But best of all was the lighthouse itself. It was a steep and narrow spiral staircase climb up to the top. Breathtaking views up there and we were able to walk around the circular deck at the top, it made me a bit dizzy so went back down. The climb back down was a little harrowing but there is a tall to hold onto and it was fine, Glad we went!

Not even a short wine list or description of the beers- since they only sell their brews. We got a warm glass of white wine, a beer that was 4 inches of head and never saw the waitress ever again.

The headliner was great but the other comedians were not funny and were just a bit offensive. I will never go there again. on a good note, the atmosphere is really cool and reminds me of some of the British pubs i visited when i lived there.

Since last night was so chilly, it was great to bypass the long line waiting to get inside the main dining room. Once inside the club, you are seated at long communal tables. I thought the interior was decorated warm and cozy with murals and old portraits decorating the walls. Truly a beautiful room. I loved that the full Hofbrauhaus menu is available in the club. You can enjoy the same food and beer as the main dining room and you don't have to wait in the long line! We ordered a variety of food: appetizer sampler, soup, perch & perogies, corned beef sandwich and a wurstplatte. Everything tasted fresh, hot and homemade. Beer was nice and cold. The service was very good. The comedy acts were enjoyable. The club has shows on Friday and Saturday nights. TIp: Go to the website and sign up to win tickets. I bet the odds are good that you will win tickets, like me. If not, tickets are $10. I am giving them such a high rating because of the good service, full menu and nice decorations. Compared to other comedy clubs I have been too, this is the best one so far. It was a fun night out.
