2 /5 James Stark: I was looking for a place in Allentown to celebrate New Years Eve for 2026. This place had a decent deal: $50 per person got you a buffet which included pizza and other dishes, two drink tickets, a champagne toast and dessert after midnight with coffee and a live band. It was a very cool building with lots of stairways and two levels with plenty of seating and tables. The first problem was that the detailed email about the event did not mention that they require ID from everyone. We had to drive back a half an hour to my GFs house to get the ID and drive back. I did find on Facebook, in very fine print, that they check id for everyone. The manager gave us another two drink tickets for our trouble when I suggested that it was the least she could do because I could have gotten a refund from Amex. The band was a little too loud and unfortunately was playing all original music. Nothing to write home about. There were probably about eight people who absolutely loved the band, which was Indie alternative rock. My mistake was not doing research about this band pefore I went to the event. Around midnight they started playing cover band musi: Beatles, The Cars other songs, and everybody got on the dance floor and had a lot of fun. I never saw anybody dancing all night until that happened. The biggest issue was the food. Even though they have this giant really cool Pizza oven, there was no pizza. Also the buffet bar was really in the kitchen. And before you started serving your food you had to pass by two very large trash cans which was not appetizing. The manager was surprised that pizza was on the Buffet menu! The food offered was chaffing dishes with little pretzel bites little pierogi things, mac and cheese, little fried chicken nuggets and make your own nachos but it was cold and there was no taco shells. Also, you had to eat out of a cardboard bowl with a plastic fork. Very disappointing, hardly a buffet, more like unlimited snacks. We left and went to another bar for a while that was more fun. We came back around midnight to get the dessert which, was nice. They had cheesecake and carrot cake which was an upgrade from the cookie promised in the Facebook ad. But when I asked about coffee they said their machine broke that day. My girlfriend was annoyed at that. I talked to several people there that were also very disappointed and the place emptied out quite a bit after the first few hours. Overall, a
disappointment. I was really looking to trying their highly reviewed pizza.
