Everything about this place is awesome. Food was good, don’t expect Michelin caliber stuff and you won’t be disappointed. Tori was our server and she was incredible. We felt like we had the perfect amount of attention. The bands and line dancing instructors were incredible. 10/10 highly recommend.

We booked a corporate event on the new Rooftop (The Eye). The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and my clients loved the experience. We booked Payton Taylor through the venue and she kept us going with her music. The bartenders and staff were so attentive. Molly in sales and Mallory the event manager were the best!

We had an amazing time at Category 10! We loved the atmosphere, the style of the bar, and the second-floor bathroom was the coolest. There was a great band, drinks, and our server, Cat, was the best!

Boom, this place is huge! Amazing new bar and amazing rooftop with river views. There’s quite a few new bars downtown, but I think this has most of them beat. Go check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Would love to check out a show in their music venue sometime soon.

Our server Roberta was amazing! Great atmosphere and family friendly until 8. Fun line dance lessons and great bands! We walked all of Broadway and came right back here! Order the beer! Have fun! (But don’t waste your on the food.)
