    I have been for a few open mic nights and recently the vibe just isn't there for these artists. The food was also less than desirable, although I might continue to check out some shows in an effort to support the folks trying to find their place in the circle of fellow comedians, the last few nights even the material presented has left me less than impressed and driven away.

    Idk about everybody else's experience at Milkie's but on Wednesday's at the comedy open mic is fantastic! Drinks are cheap! Food is good. Bartender Nikki is so freaking good! She always knows the perfect drink if you let her choose. Great fargin time everyone should come. Wednesdays! Men's bathroom super tiny and stinks.

    I didn't fart but I did gyrate a bit on my barstool and some air squeezed out of the seat-cushion and it smelled like a fart. Five stars!

    Came here on a Saturday night with my friend for an event they had called Birthday Bash and Sip,…read morewhich was different then the usual paint and sip. It was a really fun event. It was hosted by Sugar Bomb Bakery. Drink and light snacks were complimentary. As always you can bring your own drinks and snacks. The cake was already pre made We just had to decorate it. So much fun if your someone who enjoys baking and decorating. The cost of the event was $85 for 2 people and you have a 2 tier cake to go homevwith to share. The lady hosting also gave everyone a piece of one of the cakes to try and it was delicious.

    We have been to several paint nights in Buffalo and I really loved this one! The instructor,…read moreJerrell, was awesome....and the painting we did was a little bit different than most landscapey types that I've seen. This one was of an abstract eye. He used a series of dots to walk us through each step--although I personally asked to see an image of the painting prior to beginning, most people did not...leaving them to build their artwork, step by step, and watch it come alive in front of them. I loved the atmosphere, too....an artsy shop on Allen...perfect to meet up with friends to do a painting and then head out to have some fun on Allen! I will most certainly recommend this location to friends who are interested in doing a paint night!

    After 5 or 6 times coming to Pausa, I can now confidently say this place is not the one. I attended…read morea show at Blue Note in NYC that pissed me off in the same way. I'm all for support in the musicians, but venues doing it in a sneaky passive aggressive way will always get a side eye from me. There was one occasion pre COVID where my small group was at the very front of the venue between the bar and the outside window WHISPERING and the owner and bartenders sent dagger eyes to us and shushed us violently. Idk what true jazz venue does not encourage a lively audience but everyone at the bar area had to act like a funeral was in session. Literally no talking AT ALL or you would be reprimanded. Cool time! I came again recently with my partner, even after a handful of bad experiences because friends of our were playing AND WE WANTED TO SUPPORT. Hellooooo??? We didn't realize until we sat down that each order required a two menu item minimum. I ordered a drink for myself and my partner using the online ordering system and when the drinks were delivered the owner stared at my partner with an accusing look like "are you going to order something, you freeloader?", but with a weird passive aggressive smile (if you've worked in food service, you know the one). Because unbeknownst to us, their policy is ACTUALLY two menu items per guest. "To support the artists," Lazara said with a saccharin grin. As two people who have plays countless shows as musicians ourselves and organized shows in the community with other artists, we know this is BS. If you want to truly support the artists, you charge at the door what you want the artists to be paid. 1. You don't gamble on the bar sales hoping people buy enough to supplement the artists' pay. 2. You don't create hidden fees for customer by requiring them buy so many menu items and hide behind "it's for the artists". 3. You don't create a hostile environment for the audience members who paid like they were supposed to but are now shocked by bullying from the staff that they need to buy more booze or food. My partner and I hardly drink alcohol. We wouldn't have bought drinks if we were not pressured to. So we forced our drinks down and ordered two more after Lazara loomed over us to do so. It put a sour taste in our mouth and took all spontaneity out of the night. We had to silently drink our beverages or else be reprimanded by teacher. We texted eachother our reactions to the music. lol Literally the whole audience seemed afraid to even clap or hoot because so many folks were told not to make noise. It felt like we were being held hostage. What a bizarre dynamic. IT'S JAZZ. The Devil's Music. We can't turn up a bit? So wild. Over this place. Truly truly.

    So fortunate to have a live jazz venue in our town. Never bad music here. Space is intimate and…read morerelaxed

The Festival is held annually around the same time frame being mid June. Usually the weather has been quite nice. This time rain was predicted off and on while we were there. There were many blocks of vendors selling the typical types of art, some stores were open, food trucks and port-a-potties. It dripped rain on occasion but not enough to dissuade attendees. One could also enjoy looking at the Allentown Historic homes all along our walk. Awe inspiring! Free street parking on Sunday. Hours are 11am-5pm although many vendors are already set up from the previous day of opening. We arrived shortly after 10 am and were able to view several vendors. On one particular street if you skip one empty block, you'll notice a number of tents. The is an alternative festival in conjunction with the one we attended. If you wander by, you'll notice more eclectic artistic items for sale. Wacky t shirts, crazy jewelry and bohemian style clothing.

I came here to find an outdoor shower that got damaged in our move back home. I found it! It really came in handy in Texas. It was sort of by accident that we came here an hour early. Most vendors were already set up and way less people. No problem finding a parking spot. Fair like food. I loved walking around the buffalo street looking at the beautiful city streets and architecture. Check it out!
