Our Businesses
Everhart Gathering Place
Everhart Gathering Place is our family-owned wedding venue in Nevada, Ohio, nestled on seven beautifully landscaped acres that blend rustic charm with contemporary design. Built on land originally belonging to Bill and Arabel Everhart, it’s now lovingly managed by their descendants, offering couples unforgettable celebrations amid gardens, weeping willows, a glass conservatory, a cozy cabin, and versatile indoor–outdoor spaces.
T&T Underground Bar
T&T Underground Bar is the go-to spot for catching the game by day and cutting loose by night. With pool tables, darts, NFL Sunday Ticket, and a dance floor that’s seen it all (no, really), they’ve got the perfect mix of laid-back hangout and late-night fun.
Eighty Eight Catering
From weddings and private parties to corporate events, Eighty Eight Catering helps you create a menu with your vision, your tastes, and your budget. Check out their menus today and start planning something delicious.
Stoked Bar & Mechanicals
Duckpin bowling, BBQ, and an outdoor patio? It sounds too good to be true, but that’s Stoked in a nutshell. Projected to open by the end of 2025, this one-of-a-kind gathering spot is rising from the ashes—literally—after reclaiming and restoring a fire-damaged historic building into something bold, fun, and entirely original.
