Lafayette Theater does it all, with the possible exception of theater. Just go to their website:…read more http://lafayettetheater.com/ and see what they've got coming up. One ongoing event that's definitely worth checking out is the Tuesday Dinner & Movie night. For $15, you get a candlelit dinner (catered by Scanoli's Cajun and BBQ Restaurant, across the street) and a classic movie. These days, the movie alone would cost you $10! And that means that the $5-dinner, already very good on the palate, was also quite gentle on the wallet. They also show Monday night football on the big screen. Moreover, for most of these events, the bar is open, which means you can enjoy a drink while you watch the movie. Tell me, where else in the US can you do that! I'm sure such places exist, but they're few and far between. For what it's worth, you can also rent out the space for events such as receptions and weddings. I haven't yet been there for something like that. But if it's handled anywhere near as well as the movie night, I'm already a fan.

I hosted my…read morebaby shower here a few weeks ago & I still cannot get over how beautiful the hall turned out to be. Seema is the owner of the hall and she is AMAZING. Super friendly, very professional, & wants to give you exactly what you have in mind for your special day. Her and her crew have also put a huge emphasis on keeping individuals safe from the coronavirus by mandating temperature checks & wearing masks at the party. The tables are also spread out for social distancing & there are only 5-6 chairs per table. There wasn't a moment throughout the party planning or the event that I felt like I was being taken advantage of. I'd definitely host something here again!! I would highly recommend checking out Carnahan Hall for any event that you have in the future!

We had our wedding @ Carnahan Hall on June 28th, 2020. It was beautiful, and so much fun!…read moreEverything went so smoothly. Seema is such an amazing person. She helped me get everything planned, even knew things that I had spaced planning. She kept on top of things. Without her and my Matron of Honor, I would have been so stressed. We planned a wedding in 6 months, and during the corona pandemic, and we did it successfully. I highly recommend having your wedding here. The layout is perfect. They have a beautiful bridal suite, and a groomsmen suite. The bartenders were great! So much space. Separate room for the food line. Thank you Seema for providing the space for the wedding of our dreams! A night we will never forget!

The venue was both comfortable and fancy but not at all overdone. The biggest part for me as the principal and for the children was that they have a Donut Wall! You heard that correctly, a Donut Wall! I would without hesitation come back to this venue - nice people and a great spot for both indoor and outdoor photos. Many memories were made at our event and the people and venue had a lot to do with this.

The close atmosphere with the lane next to you and the shared concerns for safety mean that communication is important, but if you're sharing a lane with strangers, it's a great way to make new friends or just develop friendly conversation.

Down a winding hallway and up a flight of stairs, the Rat Pak is a medium-large, long rectangular event space featuring two bars offset from the main space, a pretty tin ceiling, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a gorgeous view of the courthouse from a wall of windows. For the event I attended, there were string lights strung over the seating and stage area that were very pretty. This would be the perfect place for a wedding reception, quinceañera, or other large party event. Employees were friendly, energetic, and seemed happy to be there. The bartenders at the smaller inner bar were especially friendly. The event I was there for was packed, and the bar line w/ one bartender moved pretty fast I would give 5 stars, but several of the employees (of the venue, not the event I was there for, as they seemed to be affiliated with the owner) were drinking heavily before and while working. one kept trying to get back in the bar line, and kept heckling guests to be allowed to cut in front of them. When he was checking tickets, after the event was already under way so the only people were attendees going to the bar or the bathroom, he was weirdly aggressive and was still drinking while doing it. People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary to interact in this way. (purple dress-shirt, black vest, multicolored tie, short white man... his coworker, a white women in a glittery wrap dress who got up on stage to yell at people about where they were sitting was also drinking, and egged the drunk employee on while he was harassing guests in the bar line) People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary.
