Hi friends,

This message is long overdue!

As you probably already know, there have been major changes this past year in Imagine Recording Studios and Imagine Event Center.

We have passed the torch to our great friends The Hall Family, to expand their legacy of the iconic Sportsmen’s Tavern.

Imagine Event Center has become THE CAVE— an extension of the Sportsmen’s. And Imagine Recording Studios is now BLACK ROCK EPS.
Behind the complex is Music Town Park— an outdoor stage venue.

We know our local businesses have been through a couple challenging years. As our community re-opens, we urge you to support our friends The Sportsmen’s Tavern, The Cave, and Music Town Park so they can continue to be movers and shakers in the local music scene.

For re-opening details, visit their pages:

SPORTSMEN’S Tavern:

We are going to keep Imagine Event Center page still active, with a “CLOSED” status... as it’s filled with so many vibrant memories, pics, and videos of so many talented performances during our time as Imagine Event Center. We had a blast— thanks for a great year! 🎉🎊

We will still use this page from time to time to mention upcoming shows at The Cave and The Sportmens.

So stay tuned while we all eagerly await the return of concert and live music from Buffalo’s talent performers. 🎶🎶

Kind Regards, and thank you for your support,

Chuck Anderson
Former owner Imagine Event Center

Opened in 1985, Sportsmen’s transformed itself from a neighborhood tavern to one of the best live mus
