Been there many times and it is always a real pleasure. They show first run and older films you saw long ago. The accommodations are comfortable and the view and sound is great. Many thanks to the Royces's , without whom the AVON would not exist. It is a true treasure of downtown Stamford.

We went as birthday event for my husband. A friend suggested it and it was the right choice! It was a great way to spend an hour together with friends and leverage each others strengths to use the clues and escape . It was challenging and so much fun. It would be a great activity if you have friends in town, need a corporate team building activity, or a little digital detox! People that learned we went said they've always wanted to do it. My recommendation is to go! #noclue

When I visited, no food was available so EAT before you go or bring a bulky snack. We ate and had the samplers before ordering our favorite choice of the day. The great thing about this place besides the BEER, was the staff. The encouraged us to visit the other Brewwery across town. We did! WORTH the trip to both if Beer is of interest.

Well worth the time to visit. The old home in which the exhibit is housed is a treasure unto itself. The exhibit gives a delightful glimpse into the life and culture of Ukrainians. Our docent, Natalia, had an interesting life story that made the visit all the more worthwhile.
