“The Brazos Center was so very accommodating and spacious. The staff was attentive and available all night. I have no question that for our next events, they will be the first to go too. They have plenty of bathrooms, parking, tables and chairs. Easy access in the back to bring your things in and out. Huge kitchen setup for caterers. Any accommodations you may need they probably provide. You should check them out.”

“1818 Venue was amazing and beautiful for our mother's surpise birthday party. The facility is so elegant and well decorated. It had everything we needed and more. I loved we didn't have to rent tables and chairs or tables for food or drinks. All we had to bring was our decor and didn't really need much because it's just so beautiful inside and out. The bar is gorgeous. Love the faux brick wall behind it. They counter top of the bar is perfect for buffet style and it didn't need much decor because it's so beautiful. The wood wall on one side is just so darn adorable. Love the color scheme of the entire facility. The patio outside is super cute. The entrance table was perfect for displaying our mom’s photos, etc. The big TV for a photo slide show was perfect and super easy to use. It just elevated our event. There were plenty of trash cans and the hidden amenities behind the bar were so helpful especially the mini fridge and sink. It was nice to be able to hide our tubs and containers behind the bar and out of the way for refilling trays and restocking food. The marquee outside was so fun. It's so cool to be able to customize it for your event. I highly recommend the 1818 venue for any event. Charissa was so easy to work with and made our event smooth and easy.”
“The Edgar Allen Poe speakeasy was such a great event. The venue was crafted well to fit the theme. The music they played was beautiful. The performances perfectly captured the depth and intensity of poe’s work.”
“This place is wonderful—very cozy, elegant, and warm in winter, with plenty of space for a social event. It is well-maintained and clean, and the staff is very efficient. I was a photographer at a quinceañera, and I really enjoyed working there.”
“We have been to many facilities traveling with horses and this facility was one of the best. The staff was very helpful and the everything was very clean. The buildings were clearly designed for and by someone who understands equestrian needs. The only criticism I would give is that there should be some ability to modify the audio settings in the arena. Having no access to the system provided for a pretty terrible sounding audio system. But that of course is the least of our concerns.”
“We had our wedding there recently and we were very pleased with the whole process. The remodeling and upgrades were fantastic. The staff was friendly and easy to work with.”
“What can I say but WOW! What a cool place!! Food grown on site, amazing outdoor atmosphere, and staff that make you feel like family. We took a tour and love the setup here, I can't wait to try the food!!”
“It has been a few years since our graduation event but I wanted to be sure to write this even so. The Porter's were easy to work with to sort of customize our event. A basically one gathering room with accessory use areas that has a nice rustic feel overlooking a pond with a large deck. We loved having the serving counter for dinner and a nook for self-serve drinks.This place has good access from the East Bypass (3 miles) or Hwy 21 (1/2 mile). The graduation party for our daughter graduating from Texas A&M was a lot of fun.”
“Great venue!! The exposed brick is a perfect backdrop for pics. Restrooms were clean. Parking, however, is a bit daunting, especially since the event I went to was also on "1st Friday."”
“Amazing service and amazing venue! They made planning easy for our formal and Diana was such a gem! She’s wonderful and made sure we always got help when we needed! Book here!”

“The Grand Stafford Theater is a true cultural and historic treasure located in the heart of downtown Bryan, Texas. With its roots dating back to the early 20th century, the venue combines its rich history with a modern approach to live entertainment, making it a beloved hotspot in the Brazos Valley. From the moment you approach the theater on South Main Street, the building’s vintage charm captures your attention, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience inside.
The theater’s interior is equally impressive, with its beautifully restored architecture and warm, inviting ambiance. It strikes a perfect balance between preserving historical character and providing updated features for a comfortable experience. The acoustics are top-notch, making it an ideal venue for live performances of all kinds, from rock and indie bands to acoustic sets and DJ-hosted nights. The stage design ensures every seat has a great view, whether you’re enjoying the performance from the floor or the mezzanine.
The venue also offers a full-service bar with a great selection of drinks, and the second-floor lounge provides a cozy spot to relax between sets. The staff is courteous and professional, creating a welcoming environment for guests. One of the highlights of the Grand Stafford Theater is its versatility—not only does it host an eclectic mix of live music events, but it is also a fantastic venue for private events, weddings, and community gatherings.
Another significant draw is its location in Bryan’s thriving Cultural Arts District. After enjoying a performance, visitors can explore nearby restaurants like The Proudest Monkey or Caffé Capri, all within walking distance. Though the theater does not have its own parking lot, there is ample street parking and nearby garages, making access easy for attendees.
Whether you’re a local or visiting the area, the Grand Stafford Theater delivers a memorable experience for music lovers and event-goers alike. Its combination of history, quality entertainment, and vibrant downtown surroundings make it a must-visit destination in Bryan. With its unique character and stellar acoustics, this venue is not just a place to see a show—it’s a place to create lasting memories.”
“Ive seen alot of people saying it needs work and this and that, but in my opinion the golf course is great for entry level to novice players. Good mix of easy holes and challenging holes. The driving range is great to get some practice with irons, cause we all need help with short game. All in all its a great course, and the employees are always super nice”
