I've been to 2 company events here. If I lived locally I might be here more often. It's an outdoor hangout with games, tables, and sand volley ball available. They turn out decent food at a decent speed for the space they're working with.

Great atmosphere and friendly employees. Outdoor seating was very nice and inviting. Besides their 4 volley ball courts you can use they had giant Jenga, Tether Ball, Corn Hole, Giant TickTackTow. We had some of their Street Tacos before their kitchen closed at 9pm, their bar was still open till later. We’ll definitely come back again as a spot to bring friends and watch live music. Can’t believe this place is just tucked away. I had never heard of it.

I went the Summer Solstice at The Station and was blown away!!! The variety of handmade items and “one-of-kind” jewelry, necklaces, etc was phenomenal!! All the booths (which included tarot card readers and a medium) were incredible! And thanks to the best bartender in center Ohio-Abbie, you rock girlfriend!!! You definitely want to show up to the next Pop-Up Event, and bring lots of money!! You won’t be able to resist the goodies! Thank you Vicky Graham for organizing a wonderful day out in the sunshine!!!

I enthusiastically recommend this establishment to all individuals. I have participated in the recreational volleyball league for three years, during which one may either form a team and register to compete or enlist as a free agent to substitute for a team in need. Initially, I joined as a free agent three years ago and subsequently remained with the same team for the duration of that season, continuing to play ever since. The cuisine offered at the grill in the yard is exceptional, and I particularly endorse the wings. Most importantly, this venue is family-friendly, as my daughters take great pleasure in accompanying me to the yard while I engage in volleyball.
