All-In-One Family Venue
It’s rare to find a restaurant that offers equal entertainment for children and adults. The Venue is one of these rare gems. As you enter the outdoor seating area, you’ll immediately notice the kids’ play area. A massive sand pit, jungle gyms, swings, and climbing ropes await your little one. The outdoor seating surrounds the play area too, so you can always keep an eye on your children. There is ample seating out here, as well as on the patio and inside the restaurant.
The Venue can get busy, especially over weekends, but you’ll almost always find an available space to sit and enjoy a meal. No matter the weather you will be comfortable as there are shade covers and umbrellas outside. On those rainy days, take a seat inside and let the little ones play in the shade covered areas of the playground. They may get a little wet and muddy, but a bit of dirt never hurt anyone. Alternatively, you can browse around the comic book shop or gift shop with them while you wait for your meal.
Another key feature of the restaurant’s outdoor area is the makeshift live music stage. This quirky repurposed bus sees musicians perform an array of country ballads, rock classics, and pop hits for your entertainment. It’s a great spot to sit back and enjoy a few drinks with friends. Sporting weekends are big here, too. So don’t sit twiddling your thumbs at home next weekend. Visit The Venue for first class entertainment and good times.
