I was here with my girlfriend to see a FIVEBAND benefit concert! Five country bands for 5 $ to benefit the local school. Well, first we couldn’t find the place. We went into Sperino’s restaurant, which owns the Monte Carlo Room. A little shy and confused, we had a quick appetizer and wine. Once we left we noticed the sign for the benefit and walked right in. It was filled with locals, but we never felt out of place. I was a little apprehensive at first, but it was crowded with people having a good time. There is a main banquet room and off to the side a nice bar space. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar, had a few drinks, talked and people watched. And what a great place to people watch! The atmosphere was fun and friendly, and there was no question that you were definitely allowed to smoke at the bar. The space is usually used for dinner theater(think Waiting For Guffman), but it is definitely a fun place to go to for a benefit or concert. Sure the bands might be a little iffy, but you are guaranteeed to leave with a good buzz and a good smile.
