So much fun! I went here with my family (husband, sister, cousin and her husband) on a rainy Friday…read morenight at 9:30 and we had such a great time! I've never done a 'paint and wine' thing before, but I had a blast! Canvas on Broadway supplies the necessary paint tools, paint, canvas, easel, aprons, and an instructor to create the themed painting. Beer and wine are available for what I'd consider reasonable prices. The music mix was a total great--the genre varied and everyone was having a good time. I started to follow along, but then went off and painted my own thing, and the instructor was encouraging and kind about it. Another woman would walk around and pick up dirty brushes out of the water jar and drop off fresh brushes. Both were very friendly, so service gets an A! The venue itself is fantastic. Big, open space, plenty of places to sit and hang your personal belongings, good elbow room, all around really great. I even noticed there's a sectioned off private area that will seat a decent sized party for a private event, which was pretty cool! If you ever want to venture out and try one of these "paint and wine" places, The Canvas on Broadway was a great first!

We walked by this place and were excited to find a place in Columbia for board games and drinks!…read moreThere is a $5 game play fee, and you and your friends can spend hours playing a variety of different games. Super fun concept, and they serve some snacks and drinks too! We tried some coffee from here, and it was strong and delicious. The cocktails we had were good but not great. Tasted a bit bland and underwhelming. I had a cocktail that sounded tropical with coconut water, but it tasted more like apple juice. But overall, would recommend to get a group of friends together to play some fun games.

I ordered a hot vanilla latte after I arrived about 9 a.m. After 10:30 a.m., sandwiches became available, and I ordered a Mousetrap, featuring thinly sliced apple, various cheeses, and spinach on wheatberry, slathered in garlic butter and pressed (so good!) with some kettle chips. They delivered the sandwich on a TV tray set next to my table, which was such a great idea to maintain space for work or board games. The menu features coffee, cocktails, sandwiches, wraps, quesadillas, etc. A cooler along one wall holds a variety of beverages, including energy drinks. Excited to return to play games.

This is a really cool building which houses artists studios. It also opens to the public…read morefrequently to have receptions and showcase its artists' work. The building is somewhat industrial-looking, like a warehouse/small factory converted into art studios. The mastermind behind this conversion, a thin, charming gray-haired man with glasses (I can't remember his name!) is an artist himself and crafted the enormous sliding doors to each artist's studio. Each door is custom, unique and impressive. It utilizes ordinary and construction materials in sort of a flat, yet dimensional sculpture. The lighting is professional. The building's exterior has few opaque walls, and uses tinted windows from floor to ceiling in most cases. The artists featured here are all either aspiring or actual professional artists. I find most of them to be very talented. The famous MIssouri water-colorist Paul Jackson maintains a space here. Come here on a weekend during the art crawls, or artrageous friday's or whenever this place opens its doors. There's usually free wine and cheese and you can talk to the artists (and maybe buy their work!).

What a disappointment! I can only assume it is the nostalgia and old country style that garners…read moresuch good reviews. First, the fudge I tried (6 different flavors) was mediocre. Having been purchasing Uncle Butch's brand fudge for the last year, I was expecting the same quality and taste but was wrong. It is just average fudge. Much less flavor than Uncle Butch's. Second, the customer service is terrible. They do not stand behind their products and have a no refund policy! What company does that??? And finally, they claim that I am the only complaint they have ever had since they opened! That is a ridiculous statement and again, proof of poor customer service and they blatantly lie!

Well, when it came time that I needed to do some digging around for local Missouri lore related to square dancing, I did a little checking on their website and as Emeril says, BAM!, they cooked up exactly what I needed. The best part was, it was free. I mean, I guess my taxes are paying for it, but the folks who work there are really helpful, they actually seem like they want to assist me, and they had all this equipment for me to use when I needed to listen to some cassette tapes and even some reel-to-reel audio. Of course, there were some weird things I had to get used to. No pens. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zed. But I could carry around electromagnets, no problem? Anyhow, that being said, I had to get used to other archivist rules (keep everything that was in a folder, actually keep it in the folder). But since they deal with one-of-a-kind stuff, and they don't want to lose anything, this makes sense. I wish I had a reason to delve into their archives earlier, now this place is on my list whenever I have any inkling to learn something about Missouri history.
