Bob’s place is a great spot for a family gathering. We used it to host our parents and siblings while they were in town for our micro-wedding. The place is large, with tons of seating, great light, and a festive atmosphere. It was also good value for a large group.
The space is somewhat of a shared experience with Bob. The entrance is through his garage living room. Since the space is a loft, we could hear his TV and music—it was the holidays and he had guests over often. But that was OK with us—I’m sure Bob could hear our music and laughter too. However, we also could smell cigarettes, cigars, and wood smoke. When it got too smoky on our last night, we raised it with him and he understood.
Overall, it’s a great place for a family party. But maybe not what you’d want for a quiet weekend, with kids, or if you’re a light sleeper.
