We had around 30 people so their downstairs event room was a perfect size with tables & chairs or bar seating, dedicated washrooms, handicap accessible, and we were also able to step directly outside to a shaded courtyard (it was hot that day!). Multiple seating options are available outside, as well as a playground space in the corner for small people. We couldn't have asked for a better venue, the staff is very friendly and the food and drinks are great... we highly recommend them!

I don't know what blew me away, more. The fact that, Ed Ely the host was 80 years old, or some of the incredible voices that performed. Karaoke was out on the spacious patio. In addition to the monitor that the performer used, there was an addition big screen for the audience to follow along. There were many times that it was more like a sing-a-long, then a single performance. What also made it fun, was that the crowd applauded and cheered every performer, no matter how good or bad they were. We ordered a supreme pizza to enjoy while watching all the singers. It was delicious for a dive bar pizza. I fairly certain, it was frozen, but it was damn good. The inside of the bar was the original vintage decor, which made it a classic dive bar. Another nice touch, the owner herself was serving the tables out on the patio. She was a delight to talk and laugh with. In Ely, I recommend you stop by and have some fun.
