The Ideal Theater & Bar

"I attend the ideal for their “singing competition” and quickly found out how much favoritism the “regulars” were shown, if you don’t go this bar every week, you will be brushed aside and placed low in karaoke lineups even when you sign up first. The “competition” was not a vocal singing contest but a popularity contest. My friends and I did not feel welcome as outsiders and will not return for karaoke or any “competitions” in the future. Extremely disappointing experience. Do not recommend attending unless you have a year to show your loyalty to a subpar venue."

"The establishment is a beautiful theater with a bar. They're open for just having beverages, and later in the evenings, they have live performance shows. If you want to see the live performances you must buy tickets. It is a very pleasant atmosphere. Sundays, they have free Open Jam session opening with a house band. Musicians encouraged to bring an instrument & sign up to perform in the Open Jam. Excellent opportunity for musicians to build experience performing live with other musicians. Musicians come perform & become a part of the local musicians community!"

"It is a great venue and great service. There is no other venue as uniquely nice in the state. A great hidden jewel with fabulous live music."

"Wonderful venue. Beautiful interior. Live music, dance lessons, two for one happy hour from 3 pm to 6 pm. They have an open jam night and feature many local and regional musicians. Music sounds great, and the acoustics are outstanding. Food available. Charcuterie plates and rich desserts. Check this place out. It is stunning and gorgeous and an all-around great venue."

"Have had nothing but wonderful experiences at Ideal. Their cocktails are all delicious and the atmosphere is unparalleled. Lexi was my bartender and absolutely killed it. Also only place I know in town to get mix and match with happy hour! Will be coming back many more times in the future, and I encourage all to do the same."
