    Super cool old building, amazing people, wonderful volunteer staff there's always swing dancing on Wednesdays and acoustic music jams on Thursdays. The nicest most welcoming people ever, if you're in the neighborhood definitely check this place out. This place has been under some pretty amazing transformations. It's turning into a great venue for weddings, and any other event needed.

    Great place, great people, great homegrown music! Every Thursday offers Ranger Randell's Electric Campfire/Acoustic Jam at 7 pm since 1994. All skills welcomed!

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about the venue staff. Amber is a dream to work with. She is incredibly responsive to communication, a hard worker and will do all she can to make a night special. We recently flowered a Wedding Reception there and the staff was so helpful with set up and breakdown. Not to mention, the food was delicious. You won’t be disappointment! The best staff, great ambience and SO much history and character.

    Been here several times on wed. for swing dancing -no partner required. Great crowd, and excellent instruction. Several times group has had live music and groups have always been great. Have not frequented the bar, but it seems a cozy place with friendly service

    This was a special event, they invited mobile vendors and bar inside the venue was open. Place is pretty spacious, two floor plan and outside patio.

    They have Swing dance lesson every Wednesday night at 8 PM. Cover is $10. Drinks at the bar are decently priced. Sometimes they have karaoke going.

  • 5/5 Jennifer G. T. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing historic ballroom! A great place for swing dancing every Wednesday night! Jerry & Kathy are the best. There are other great events here too! The rockabilly review happens every year. Pre-Covid there would be hundreds of people every Wednesday! I miss dancing here and visit whenever I can. There is a great dance floor and stage upstairs. Great venue. I’ve even heard that Leon Bridges has showed up for a different concert here.

  • 5/5 Ryan G. 4 years ago on Google
    You can smell the tradition of great music as you enter this historic venue. Excellent sound quality and beautiful stage in the hall upstairs.

  • 5/5 Jason H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sebastian V. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place, especially on Wednesdays for swing dancing. Worth the experience, and has one of the best and friendly environments.

  • 3/5 Rick D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very fun old time bar and special event hall. Went to an awesome private birthday party for 125 people and still plenty of room with a stage for a band.

  • 5/5 Bruce m. 4 years ago on Google
    Came out to the Sons of Herman Hall for a series of concerts and to see an long time friend play in his new band. The history of the place is very impressive. The old wood is cozy and comfortable. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

  • 4/5 BAKERSMAN 2 years ago on Google
    A quaint little dance hall. This intimate setting adds some ambience to a performance. Don't expect a professional sound system and be prepared for metal folding chairs to hurt your back over an hours long performance. The balcony door was open to allow some air flow but this also let in traffic noises from outside. The staff was friendly. There is also a small bar on the first floor.
