My 1000th Review.... And it for something special!…read more My son's wedding was held at The Gibson Social Club last weekend and everything went well! This venue is pretty cool. Back when I went to college in Oshkosh it was a car dealership. Now it's a wedding venue with a lot of old fashioned style. Great for wedding pictures! The planners and employees of the venue were very professional and helpful. Had no problems at all. If you are going to have your wedding or party here, here are some things to be prepared for. Parking. There is a paid parking lot attached to the venue. However parking is free for guests. The problem is that most don't know until after they paid! (There are parking passes located inside the door of the venue). Make sure to tell your guest if you can! Farmers Market. On Saturdays in summer there is a farmers market until 12:30pm, but in our case Main St did not re-open until about 1:30. So some out of town guest had a rough time finding the place. (Wedding was at 2pm). Noise. The venue is basically an open hall so it is a little noisy during the "happy hour" and other open conversation times, but the sound systems worked very well and everybody could hear well during speeches. Hotels. Closest hotel is about six blocks away. But fills up because it's attached to a convention center... so book early! Process. If you plan on getting married at this location be aware that you will have to leave for a while so they can get the venue reset for the meal and party. We all went to a fun bar across the street and then came back and couple of hours later. Fun day for my family and friends. Very happy with the venue.

We booked our event there on a Sunday evening. We were having a small event so we agreed on the…read moresmaller banquet room. They forgot to inform us that they had volleyball going on that day and the players would be walking right through our event everytime they wanted to use the restroom or go to the bar. They also did not inform us that the small banquet room holds the only bathrooms for the public to use. We had people walking through our event all night. The kicker was the other banquet room was not in use so they could have just put use over there. We were also quoted one price over the phone and when we were presented the bill it was more than quoted. When we asked about it, we were told she never quotes those kinds of prices. My fault for not getting it in writing. The food was good but service was horrible. We would not have another event there again.

She was great with my 3 and 7 year olds, keeping them both engaged. I found Pony Playce online one evening and was able to call and make a reservation for the very next day! Linda was more than accommodating and happy to take a last minute reservation. We never felt rushed and our kids thoroughly enjoyed their play date. We just wished we had more time! Aside from getting to ride the ponies, the tea party WITH the pony (Charm) was the best part. Will definitely come back!!

We attended an event here. I understood when they asked me to take my purse back to my car but when…read morethey would not let me bring in an empty water bottle it seemed a bit much. I went to another event at a different venue where I was not allowed to have my water either and later after that passed out due to dehydration and blood pressure issues. I do explain this that I'm a disabled veteran and sometimes need things that help. Buying a four dollar water makes me feel that I cannot drink it and I still can become dehydrated )not having water bring on anxiety after being deployed.) I was told I cannot bring it in and had to take it back to the cars as well. Then I walked through and the person in front of me gets to bring a backpack in because it's considered the diaper bag. I was told to put my water in a medical bag and they would mark it as such. I find it interesting in the military, i was allowed a m16 loaded with me at all times, including briefing daily out 3 star general, sectary of defense for the country, and the president, but i can't bring a water bottle to battle through the injuries i endured protecting the country.

Absolutely the worst food we have ever had out…read more Now I expect game food but the brats were more like hot dogs and the burger was so over cooked it was not edible. We settled for a pretzel after the let down. Again, rock hard. If you enjoy a game, stick to the game and drinks. Save your money!

My two favorites were their Merlot and the Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a true winery on a par with the quality found at Blind Horse, von Stiehl and Stone's Throw - albeit at an early stage with a significantly more limited selection. It's hard to imagine a more pleasant and welcoming staff (of one); we truly enjoyed our afternoon there. I was ready to join their wine club - but they don't have one yet. Strongly recommend.

Their wine selection is very good and has a good variety of whites and reds with grapes largely from California as I believe they said their first harvest of grapes will be available shortly. Not your standard wisconsin fruit wines either which was a bonus! The owners served us and were extremely friendly. They seem to have lots of events as well. I'd gladly stop in again, highly recommend.
