The Civic Club is located right on the river and it creates a beautiful back drop for photos. I'm not sure of the history of the building but it looked and felt like an old mansion that was somewhat renovated for events. There's a beautiful wrap around porch where guests could sit and wait for whatever event they were attending. We attended a Cocktail hour on the main floor which had separate little rooms, even though the wedding was small it did feel tight in certain areas once all of the guests arrived. After the cocktail hour we proceeded upstairs for the reception. I believe they have an elevator for guests that cannot walk up the steps. The ballroom upstairs was beautiful with a large window to view the river. Restroom situation: the main floor just had one restroom, single person. Upstairs there were 2 restrooms, 1 Women's and 1 Men's...not sure about the men's room but the women's room had 3 stalls. There was also a large dressing area in the women's restroom.

The downstairs has several rooms that can be set up for various purposes.

My fiancé and I have been here multiple times, and we always leave satisfied. One of the most…read morecommon themes from all of these visits is the wait time. For every time we've dined here, we've had a reservation and still had to wait about an hour to receive our entrees. The one star knockoff is purely due to lack of speedy service and long wait times for food. Otherwise, the mansion is absolutely gorgeous, and has seasonal menus, so there is always something new to offer each time you visit. They have a unique seasonal cocktail menu, and numerous different types of alcohol/bottles. (I would recommend getting a prosecco glass with cranberry juice in it!) They give out two different pieces of bread, both very good, and they also give out a "bite of the night" or something similar to it, which is a unique small bite full of flavor from the kitchen.

This venue is beautiful. There are several rooms which are beautifully decorated. I was here with…read morea large group (21 people) and I think they might not have enough staff. I'd really like to give 5 stars for the taste of the food but it wasn't warm enough when it was served. I asked about the soups and was offered a taste of both which I thought was great. When the samples came they weren't hot. Barely warm. I ordered one of the soups and told the server it wasn't warm enough and asked to make sure it was warm when it came out. It wasn't. Butternut squash creamy soup with a piece of smoked salmon in top. Interesting. Very creamy but I couldn't taste the butternut squash. It was nondescript but since I'd tasted both and didn't like the other I felt I did have to order one. The smoked salmon added saltiness and actually made it nice but I think you'd have to look forward the squash. And, it was only mildly warm. Husband ordered the paella. I tasted it, of course. The fish was overcooked, the scallop I had was sweet and cooked well. The rice was decent, but, instead of the rich saffron scented taste I expected, this tasted of chicken broth a la rice a roni. And whereas it was good, it was nothing special. He said the shrimp and mussels were good. I ordered Tuscan shrimp which was billed as shrimp and ravioli in sun dried tomato cream sauce with spinach. There were 4 good size ravioli covered in a cream sauce- not Alfredo- and there were bits of sun dried tomato sprinkled on it. Tasty but not sun dried tomato cream sauce. There are 5 or 6 good size shrimp that were delicious and cooked just right. This was a delicious dish and would have been 5 stars if it were hot. It was warm, not wArm enough though. Same for the paella. And everyone at our end of the table said the same thing. Neighbors had Mac and cheese with meatballs which they said was ok, chicken cacciatore which they said was covered in red pepper sauce which they said was good but that the chicken was dry. Didn't talk to anyone else about their meals but the chief complaint was that nothing was hot. And the service was uneven- we were served a long time before the people next to us were served their meals. This place is a venue for weddings and parties. One would think they could keep large numbers of meals hot and out at the same time. I would like to give 5 stars for my shrimp dish's taste. My husband said his paella was a 3.5 But serving the meals at low temp just knocks it down a few pegs. Dinner included a very small piece of crouton with tomato topping. I guess it was bruschetta bouche amuse. Tasty but tiny. The servers were very nice and I think they were doing the best they could. Not their fault. Lovely ambiance but expensive. For the prices, I expect hot food.

We just enjoyed some hatchet throwing therapy at Stumpy's. The manager, Erika, was great! She gave…read moreus the safety chat and showed us throwing techniques. We had so much fun and it was therapeutic after a stressful week (and it's only Wednesday)! Tonight was Ladies Night so there were special rates. There are other specials throughout the week and month so check the website. Do make reservations. Along with axe throwing, there's corn hole, giant Jenga, arcade games, and other free or inexpensive things to do. We took a tour of the various party rooms & they look like so much fun. Great place to have birthday parties, casual business gatherings, hang with friends or a unique date. One of the things that I really like is that you can BYO food, drinks and adult beverages. They do have a cooler with beverages that include craft sodas, boba, energy drinks, and more. Light snacks are available, too. The decor is a meld of a warehouse with rustic lumberjack accessories and furniture. The cages are named after roads and places in Hershey. The place was clean and inviting (as inviting as axes can be). Sorry, I didn't take pictures because we were disconnecting from the phones for a few hours. As for the location, it is tricky to find. When you turn off of Chocolate Avenue onto N Street or Orchard Street, then tune Left on First Street (an alley) go to the end of the road & it will be on the right. The physical location is not on Chocolate Avenue, but one block behind it.

There are fireplaces in almost every room, unfortunately the one in our room was currently under construction but maybe next time. Our particular bedroom was called the Michelangelo Tower. The ceilings being painted and all. Make sure you're a morning person though, because with eight (8!) windows it got very bright in there by 6AM. Probably was the only downside because my boyfriend and myself are not particularly morning people. There's a coffee maker and water bottles available in the sitting room, at all hours of the day, which was nice. The morning we had check out they had breakfast served in each of the large dining rooms. Quiche with bacon and potatoes. Orange juice, water, hot tea and fresh coffee. All was wonderful. We will be back.

It's a small building with plenty of parking, but you can tell it's an older facility not so much state of the art for audiovisual purposes that I'm sure you can make it happen if you have an event here.
