The one located in Bridelwood is very good. I love the burgers however salads are fresh and tasty.Last time I tryed the Grig style with a turkey patty on top.

Decent bar. Not a bad venue in the back. The live music has surprisingly good sound. Bathrooms were pretty gross and flooded without properly closing locks.

Good food, easy service. Pleasant enjoyable atmosphere

Artem Titoulenko

An exceptional venue that has a very reasonable price, a good selection of beers, and makes pizzas for your event all night. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and accommodating. I look forward to coming here.

Awesome venue for metal and punk shows. Beers are average priced. Service kinda sucked but it might have just been a bad day for one of the bartenders. Overall great

I just went to the Place bar and lounge for a show and even though the venue is small, it's good to go to hang out, get a drink or some pizza and go in the back to watch some live entertainment. If you are beginner to visit this place, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking is on the side of the street across from or next to the venue. You don't have to worry about being uncomfortable, the staff is always nearby to make you feel comfortable. If you are seeing a show or a concert, you will spend up to 2-3 hours depending on the group.

This place is a little far out from where I live or usually hang. However, I've got to support my friends who had a show here a couple of weeks ago. The staff was pretty much all over the place, especially with one bartender working that night. It honestly felt like we were in someone's basement drinking and partying without adult supervision. Also, the drinks were a little too pricey for a mediocre bar that's pretty much hard to even get to. Unless there's another show, I won't be going here in the future.

The Place sucks. I've lived across the street for years and it's always been d**** but now they charge you a $3 fee to use a credit card. They overcharge for everything already, garbage food at prices they think is similar to other local places.. except those other places serve edible food. Don't order food here, don't drink here, tell your favorite bands not to play here. Go somewhere else. Anywhere.

I want to give this place ZERO stars! We have used The Place party room since wayyyyyy before it became The Place. In recent years they have improved in appearance but declined in customer service. My niece's baby shower was this past Sunday, October 1st. My sister paid her deposit well over a month ago and a contract was signed for the room which can accommodate roughly 130 people. Imagine my sister's surprise when she walks in to The Place the morning of my niece's baby shower to decorate and sees that ONE THIRD of the room has been taken over by a STAGE!!! A stage with band equipment that cannot be removed because "it's worth over $60,000". And to make matters worse, one quarter of the space that was left was blocked off as a storage area!!! We were expecting at least one hundred people!!!! We had a dj to accommodate, food, a cake table, drinks etc! How on earth were we going to do all of that in this tiny space?!?! I suggested that my sister speak to the owner as I felt he should reduce the price because she was deceived. They never informed her of the reduction of space. She found out the day of! Her option to cancel or relocate was taken away at that point. Upon speaking to him, she was informed that the Place had been sold and that was what the new owner wanted!! Seriously?!!! His idea of a solution?!? Reduce the price by $50!!! $50?!! It's bad enough that they charge $150 per hour PLUS a service fee for somebody to "babysit" your party and do not give you anything other than ice. (Other places in the neighborhood include soda and the option for a keg or use of their full clean kitchen) My sister had no choice but to accept it as the party was only 2 hours away. All the money that we paid out for the party would've been lost. It was hot and obscenely crowded. People were literally sitting on top of each other or sitting outside simply because everyone was unable to fit comfortably! People, if you're looking for a party room.....RUN AWAY from this shithole. The "owner" sucks, his staff sucks (except for the gentleman who cleans) and their bathrooms (with one working stall) smell and look horrible! WE WILL NEVER USE THE PLACE FOR A PARTY AGAIN! And I will be sure to tell all of my friends to avoid this place too!!!

I have never been to a worse place to eat in my life. The manager was so nasty to myself and my guest. She threw our food around as if it were garbage. I will absolutely never eat in this place again and I will tell every single person I know to avoid it like the plague.
