"My cousin had his retirement party here. Nice place. The beer was a little pricey 4. But I drink Crown it was 5 so that was more than cool. Now I don't know how that relates to being a member. And I liked the bartender she was cool too. Can't remember her name but she has worked there a while. She spoke well of the guys she serves, so sounds like a good place to join."

"My husband, Greg and I had our wedding reception here on 6-27-98. Will be 25 yr anniversary coming up this year and our daughter, last child is having their Junior/Senior prom there tonight!! We loved our reception and it was very exciting to say the least!! It thundered and lightning with downtown sirens going off where our guests had to evacuate. My cousins and uncles took my grandmother in her wheelchair and carried her down to the basement. Until it was save to leave. A beautiful wedding but our reception night was definitely a night to remember for sure and we are still married!!"
