⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Had my daughters sweet 16 here. From booking the banquet room, to understanding catering prices- and even as simple as table measurements- the communication was quick and responsive. The price was affordable, and we had creative freedom. The space transformed beautifully! My guest were all impressed with the spacious dance floor, the spotless bathrooms, the kindness of the bartender (and the members at the bar who all complemented my daughter in passing!). I see multiple post asking for suggestion on venues for parties, and I couldn’t recommend the elks more."

"Had a benefit for some Friends. Food was good, can't ruin pasta. No table clothes, the tables were dirty had to ask to have them washes down, after all there is a pandemic going on. Carpet wasn't swept from the night before event. Still was dirty with stirrers on the floor, papers. Staff was rude.Mike was ok. The others weren't as nice. Just not a place I'd be going back too. Sorry but I had higher expectations for this highly recommended club. Never again."
