It's a wonderful place to rent out rooms for an event, small or big. There's the community room,…read morelounge and Hagan room available; just call for information and details. With renting the place out, there's also a large kitchen with fridge, stoves and other things that are available (just as long as things are kept clean and put back). Language classes are taught here by fluent speakers/teachers and membership with the I house will allow you to take any class you like (dance classes included too along with other event). There's storytelling for younger children each month and gathers for others weekly. Many other events happen weekly, just check on their website to see what's available and interests you :] Every year, the International House puts on the International Festival and there are many activities and performances. It's clear that everyone there is very passionate about their work and helping people out. Just come and check this place you, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This place is just run by a few people so they can be stretched pretty thin. Don't hesitate to leave message and they'll get back to you as soon as they can. There are many volunteer opportunities here too! Final Thoughts: Very nice place to study with comfy chairs :]

A great place to play Bingo. I mean it, after yesterday's game I am hooked! Bingo is played here…read moreevery second Sunday, and each time it benefits a different charity. I paid $12 for one packet of Bingo games, and had fun playing with some friends for about three hours total. Next month I want to come again! Remember to bring cash to purchase bingo games, extra games, and to purchase drinkies and snacks from the snack bar. There were nachos, hot dogs, and chips available yesterday. Beer, wine, and soda were available drinkies. They also had free water and coffee provided. If you don't have your own dobber for Bingo they provide free rentals, but you can also buy one for $1 in cash. They also have raffles included with your Bingo packet, so hang on to that ticket. I won a bottle of Sobon Cab Sauv in one of the raffle drawings yesterday! :-) They have bathrooms downstairs and upstairs too, and though it does get busy we were easily able to find five seats together. Of course, two of us did show up early. For next time I will remember to again arrive early and bring cash for this cash only event. If you have never played legit Bingo before, they are patient and helpful. It is beginner friendly with many helpers available and walking around the room. Highly recommend! Yay Bingo! Outside food is fine. Street parking.

I've been going to Odd Fellows Hall for over a year now for various purposes. While I am usually in…read morethe upstairs room, I have also been to the downstairs meeting space. Ultimately, I think this is an awesome resource in our community! I love that various groups and communities are able to rent out the space for whatever the need. I also love all of the community events that they put on. From Bingo to movie nights, I love the effort they are putting into creating an awesome community space. The building itself is a bit out dated, but it is well maintained.

I was not very impressed by the hall itself unfortunately. The location is a bit out of the way and the lighting is terrible! I felt as though I was in an elementary school cafeteria or something. The chairs and tables were much too close together, there was no room to walk. The kitchen area is very out of the way and the opening is so small that it isn't ideal for a large number of people. Over all this spot may be better for day time events or for events with a smaller group of people but I wouldn't book big events such as a wedding here.

I just attended a semi-formal Thanksgiving-related event at the Veterans Memorial Center. I wasn't…read moreblown away by the venue, but I would say that it's a decent, probably relatively inexpensive rental for a casual event where you need space for a large number of people. (The main room holds something like 400 people!) The venue is clean and has an ample sized kitchen for a great deal of cooking. There's also a courtyard (which isn't really usable given the weather in Davis for the vast majority of the year) and a large parking lot. One downside is that the chairs and tables they provide are really flimsy. The chairs are really uncomfortable plastic, and the tables are those long cafeteria-style tables that roll away easily. They do have bathrooms with plenty of stalls, but the bathrooms are over in the back of the Veterans Hall, where it can be kind of drafty.The main room has a small stage. The event I went to really wasn't quite matched up to the Veterans Hall, as it was supposed to be more formal than the venue's feel. I'd probably have chosen a different place, but I could still see the Veterans Memorial Hall being a good place to have something like a kid's large birthday party.

Staff are super nice and will help you if you need anything. They have a gift shop on the first floor perfect for picking up a gift~ I enjoy coming here often because they do have new art on display all the time. So you can enjoy the classics (non rotating long staying pieces) and new ones. Highly recommend this gem of an art gallery!

We offered short ribs, chicken, mashed potatoes and a few kinds of salads (with appetizers during happy hour) and it was absolutely delicious. They gave the bridesmaids and the groomsmen nice spaces to get ready, nice and early. We were well taken care of and whatever we needed was right there. It really took a load off to have so many things handled under one roof. We had to arrange flowers, photographer, the cake, and the DJ. We had about 150 guests and they fit into the hall with enough space to dance, give speeches, etc. We received a lot of compliments and had a wonderful time on our special day.

Their garden was more beautiful in person, and it was a pleasure to walk through it... along with the other gardens. The Pence Gallery itself is very nice. We stopped by because we had will call tickets for the garden tour. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us a little goodie bag which we appreciated. The place was clean and organize, it was also serene and relaxing. As for the garden tour event, the description on the Pence Gallery website said there would be 7-10 gardens. Sadly, there were only FIVE + a stop at the gallery, and it literally took us less than two hours to do the whole tour. We definitely would have planned our morning differently had we known there were only five gardens. Hoping they offer more gardens next year! Other than that, we had a good experience at Pence Gallery and their garden tour event.
