Enormous space with a stage, dance floor, deli, bar, and bowling alleys all under one roof. Super fun. All kinds of music, check the calendar. Zydeco night pulls this town's best dancers out to do their thing, and I could watch them all night long. Call ahead to see if your kids can go--sometimes it's a yes if you plan to bowl.
