The Lab is truly my favorite spot since moving to New Haven half a year ago, and I only go to one…read moredance class there per week. The owner, Gerald Lovelace, is, for real, a renaissance man who runs the studio, teaches, and is a tech wiz with all sorts of video and light production. (His photo studio, Lovelace Studios, is a testament to many of his skills outside of dance, check that out, too.) Classes are affordable, insanely fun, incredibly accessible and welcoming (I had danced a lot growing up but never in the style I take at The Lab), and the folks at The Lab are just the nicest, ever. Beginner classes are indeed beginner-friendly, but they're *not* boring!! They also film at the end of every class, which helps me learn where I can improve AND document an incredibly fantastic experience. Filming is optional but I recommend it! I'm just repeating myself but I can not recommend this studio enough. Check out their YouTube page or Instagram if you want to get a good sense of the choreographers/teachers and the styles you'll find here. I could spend a year going on and on about the experience dancing at the Lab. It's an oasis in a desert (where are the other dance studios!? But now I don't even need 'em lol, nothing would beat this spot). Logistical Bits: If you're coming to visit, parking is in the back of the building (I don't do what my phone says and I just turn in from E Main St to High Street, before you hit the Dunkin' Donuts), and the door is a little bit nondescript (imho) so be confident as you walk in, you're in the right place. ;) TLDR The *best* spot, the best people, truly a space buzzing with creative energy - at least every single second I've spent there. Can't wait to keep going!!

The intimate theater (I think it's 46 seats, not 64 like I wrote before) immerses you in the action like no other! I can't wait to see what goes on here in 2026! If you enjoy Broadway or the Bushnell, then try a night here! Bravo!

Upstairs has cans and bottles only, nothing on tap. There are not as many games upstairs but lots of lounge and seating areas. Bathrooms on both floors too! I love the variety of games, old school pinball machines and arcade games. It's a great time for a date night or a night out with friends.

They added a second floor this year I believe and it's only made the place better. It's perfect for friends, date nights, or even Sundays during their Family Night (kids just need an adult with them). Super friendly atmosphere all around. And the best part? Their tokens never expire. I came back after almost a year with old tokens and they still honored them -- that says everything. If you're in Factory Square, or nearby it's definitely worth stopping in. (This review draft took me forever to post)

ALL of the actors are volunteers AND the money goes to local charities! *$10 parking per car cash or Venmo Every year the themes focus on "in" movies. This year's 2024 "Coven of the Rotted" included Terrifier, Silent Hill, Silence of the Lambs, Dolls and a Voodoo room among many others! There is always a "twist" on the best classic movies, but they've had themes like Monsters Inc. and Toy Story in the past. The themes are always changing and EVERY year is different. The trail takes about an hour to walk through but the scares start once you walk through the entryway! Characters will interact with you (but not touch) and the display of animatronics is a great way to start the night! There is a midway "stop" area to take photos, grab a snack and break up the groups of people that tend to get bunched together through the trail. I would recommend 10/10 and will come back every year! Buy your tickets early as they sell out quick for all times!
