I went last night to the Harry Potter movie night (21 and up) and it was so much fun!!!! The food was good, the drinks were good, the atmosphere was so fun with games and raffles for harry potter themed prizes and the host Grant and ALL of his employees were very personable and made sure to see that everyone was having a great time! I can not wait for the next one. If you haven’t been to an event here DO IT! It was absolutely worth the price. I have also attended a comedy night a couple months ago at the Granby and that was also a super fun night out for me and hubby! This is now our go to spot for a date night out without the kids. Thank you for letting us let our hair down and have a great night out.

Absolutely awesome, had a great time. People were great. Staff went above and beyond. Entertainment was great! Exceptional service.

to make this clear, i DO NOT recommend this place, attended the Lord of the Rings event. to start, the event is poorly advertised and unorganized. if you are a small party, you will be grouped at a table with strangers, not too big of a deal, but something that would have been nice to know. after being sat at a table with 2 people we didn't know, we went and waited on the very long line for food. when we returned, our seats had been filled by a bunch of other random people who had also been sat at the table. there were 8-10 people that were all supposed to cram at one table. there was just no organization at all. the food was a Busch gardens meal, turkey leg and stovetop stuffing, and buffet style. dessert table comprised of walmart Bakery section items, displayed on a table with no utensils. hundreds of people just walking up and grabbing things with their hands from the platter. decor was minimal, if you were at a front table, you had some decent looking tables that fit the theme, beyond that was white linens with a couple leaves dropped on top. the event was perfectly summed up by what I can only guess was supposed to be Treebeard on stage. a Halloween decoration with a paper bag thrown over its head and a couple pieces of moss sloppily stuck on. throwing elf ears on the bartenders and dropping a sword here and there is not transforming the theater into a scene from the movie. screens showing the movie are pretty small. for a price tag of $80 a head, I could not figure out where that money was going, and to me, felt like a cheap and lazy nerd-culture cash grab. the manager at the bar was very friendly when I told her my concerns, and we were given a full refund. however, she told me to wait a couple minutes for the owner and he never came around.

We went to see The Lord of the Rings. The food and decor were great! The movie had some difficulty though - audio balance was off so the loud sections of the movie were ear splitting. We sadly left early, like closing our tab at the bar before the Black Riders even made it to the Shire early, because we both were getting headaches and the people near us were plugging their ears. Video also cut off a few times so we were just seeing a blue screen while it searched for the input.

Absolutely awesome, we had a great time. People were great. Entertainment was great! Exceptional service.

Went there for the Mardi Gras party and was confused. They were serving food but could not give me a menu. Said they had a full bar but nothing on draft, and no craft beer. Tables set up for dining but no waitresses. And for the singles, no chairs. I left.

My Husband and I attended the Harry Potter event and the drinks were amazing and on point. However, for $80 the line to the food was really long before the movie and the dessert bar was so-so. I think in the future, the dinner should be served by table or waitresses and waiters should be hired because the ambiance and drinks were great but the food could’ve been better.

We enjoyed Mark Viera he is an awesome comedian and laughed to his whole performance The venue is a great place, all thou the seating arrangement can be better the next time

The venue beautiful, staff polite and helpful, DJ rocking. It was New Years Eve we paid $40 to attend the event, but unaware that was all. No canons, confetti for us to throw, whistles to blow nothing. Was disappointed on that part.

Great time at a work event, only negative is alot of stairs and bathrooms are upstairs which could pose a problem for handicapped and mobility impaired
