This is not the environment I would ever be caught dead in again! My friend and I were looking for a place to go have a few drinks and decided to stop in since we hadn't been for a non event. The place was deserted but, we decided to go in anyway. The condition of the place was not great, but it has that certain auto garage feel that could be alluring I suppose. We got a few quick drinks and sat down, and that's when things started to go downhill. A group of 60-80 yr old men walked in a few minutes later and started to ogle at us. Eventually this rose to quite an uncomfortable level due to the rude and unsolicited comments and gestures. A white haired man, who eventually claimed he was the owner and tried to "show us the cars in the back", came in shortly afterward with a cute young blonde....who was also clearly a prostitute since he was all over her. We were waiting for a friend to meet us, but we had to draw the line and left quickly. If this is the way you treat your guests, I don't know how you stay in business. 3 words: Weird, Mediocre, Rapey! Stay away ladies!

We recently had our company Christmas party here and it was a great success! Lorraine and Tamara are both great to work with and easy to get in touch with. They made all arrangements for us and and wowed us with their professionalism. I had read other reviews about previous event directors and was a little nervous at first. But Lorraine empressed me enough from early on that all fears soon faded. I deff recommend for you your next corporate event. We had 150 in the party and the location will comfortably handle 4 times that amount.

The facility is deceiving upon first glance. Looks nice when you walk in, but shortly thereafter you find its musty and smells of oil and gas. The decor looks like they threw some tinsel on a turd and the shape of the place leads me to believe the owner is running a chop shop or some other shady endeavor. Everything has a manufacturing warehouse feel to it without the "done on purpose" look and nothing really seems to match especially the falling apart wicker seats during a white tablecloth reception. If you are looking to do anything other than a college party here, look elsewhere.

Old Car Heaven is a great place to unwind after work. Huge patio, wonderful staff and delicious craft cocktails.And the CARS! Wow! give it a try. It just may become your favorite bar.

So, I had a buddy tell me about this place. I was looking just to go out and meet a friend for a few drinks. Once I got in, I noticed that the bar was really nice. Hardwood bar, mellow lighting, awesome music. The bartender had craft cocktail menu set out. Seeing as I am not well-versed in craft cocktails, I let the bartender chose for me. He gave me what he called a 'Rube Goldberg'. It was interesting, citrus but bitter, then sweet. He gave me friend a 'Stanely's Cup'. If I heard the bartender correctly, he said it was something like a reconstructed Pimm's Cup(?). He loved his, as well. He told me he'd never think he'd like a drink with cucumber in it, but it was delicious. The bartender was attentive, and made us several, other equally delicious cocktails. I can't begin to describe the combinations here. I have not been to another bar that makes drinks like this place. Then after hanging out for a couple of hours, this manager guy decided to take me and my buddy around and show us all vintage cars in this place. I have been telling all of my friends about it, and if you are looking for a nice, chill bar with interesting cocktails, check this place out.
