Pickett Place is the BEST place to have a wedding. Tracy (the owner) is the real deal. She was the…read moremost fabulous person to work with during this exciting and busy time. She always responded quickly, no matter how many silly questions I asked. She listened and truly cared about what was important to us. I am beyond thankful that we chose to get married at this one-of-a-kind venue. It was the greatest decision we made. I have no hesitations when it comes to recommending Pickett Place. It is top-notch!!!

Every bit of our Pickett Place wedding was a dream. Tracy and Chad have put so much love into this…read morevenue. Our guests raved about how charming the home was, especially with all the Christmas decorations. It was such a beautiful weekend. Tracy helped make all the processes so smooth from the vendors, to the decor, to covid precautions, to the clean up. She is such a rockstar. The band was incredible--Chad, Justin, and Billy brought the party! Our guests are still messaging us about the music three days later. They definitely gained some new fans. I highly recommend Pickett Place and their lovely staff for being so welcoming, friendly, and eager to help. If you're in the Shoals area, this should definitely be your first choice for all things event-related.

The atmosphere of Lava Room might be the best in Florence, this place is really cool! They always…read morehave great live music on the weekends and their typical crowd is ideal compared to some other local bars. Their food selection isn't huge, but that's okay because every single item is amazing. Whether you get their ramen, bao buns, eggrolls, po boys, or appetizers, I promise it will be delicious. My personal favorites are the eggrolls. They have a wide selection on the drink menu, but you can order any standard mixed drinks as well. I recommend trying at least one of their signature cocktails, though, because there are some really neat options! The only downside is the limited seating, which can be annoying if they are super busy. If you get a table or a seat at the bar, you'll have an amazing time. Otherwise, you might be standing along the wall waiting for a spot to open up. That's a risk that's probably worth taking, though, given how great the atmosphere will be while you're here!

Came in for a few drinks and karaoke. Drinks are great; they don't have a good scotch selection…read morebut the Japanese whisky choices are excellent (basically Japanese scotch, and it's very good). Ambience is great. Food looks interesting, would definitely eat here. Karaoke was awful. Just awful. How awful? Well, awful enough that I decided to write a review. And its not about the singers. Lots of people aren't great singers...that's expected. The karaoke guy runs the worst karaoke show I've seen in a long time. Anywhere from 4 to 7 minutes of thumping bumper music to entertain himself between singers (nothing against the genre, but it was completely opposite of every song people were choosing...know your demographic), no concept at all of basic EQ (vocals buried under the booming and mushy bass) , filled the room with smoke so thick you could barely see the stage, and blows a super loud and annoying air-horn sound effect between every. single. freakin'. song. Again...food, drinks, ambience and service are great. But if you enjoy karaoke, avoid.

Drinks were ordered and it was nice to see non-alcoholic beers on offer. We got one of those and one local draft. For dinner, Mrs. K. selected the veggiewich and I chose a Dapper Dog. Real pub grub stuff here and it was fabulous. My "loaded" chips included cheese and banana peppers. It was all delicious and a special credit for an actual crunchy pickle! We had a nice time and I can see a return in the future!
