"Visited this place on an open to public night when there is entertainment. The people were friendly. They draw an older crowd 50 and up as a whole. Bathrooms are well maintained and the service staff is friendly and eager to take of my orders. They dont serve food regularly but, they do have potluck and catered events that have a reasonable fee.. Will go back for mahem free evening of dancing and beverages."

"A decent venue without being overly classy. Drinks prices were okay but you had to watch them open the little bottles of wine and poured into a cup. It's a nice place to rent to have your own private party."
— Jeff Slyn
