5 Star Review by Anastasia Globa
This club is awesome . Note that you will need to either get a membership, be a local resident or have someone with a membership to sign you in. We had our discipline function organized at this venue. It was fun and the food was nice. Definitely recommend!

Great club, good selection of food on the menu, , all the food we had was great and will visit again. Was lucky enough to win the meat raffle as well.
5 Star Review by Holden Brougham
After finding the brewery we were headed to was closed we popped over here for a few beers and dinner. Was nice sitting outside with the gas heaters on for a few beers and dinner. Food was pricey for a club meal but was very nice and the cheese garlic bread was superb.
1 Star Review by Erendira Rodriguez
Worst experience with the staff. The environment was good and we were enjoying the music but some guy at the bar kicked us without a reasonable justification. His only justification was Im the owner and I decide who is in the Club We payed tickets for a show that we couldnt enjoy. There was no chance to talk to anybody for a justification on why we had lo leave. We were not drunk and we were not doing anything wrong. There were people that were actually drunk and they didnt have to leave as we did. As stated before, no one give us a reasonable justification.

Spent money on an Uber to go go 40 minutes to this place in order to support a friends band with some friends visiting from out of country. Paid for tickets. Paid for and drank five schooners quietly at our table over two hours. I got up to use the bathroom and after I finished I came out to be confronted by security and I was told I had to leave the premises. I thought it was a mistake or misunderstanding, and when I asked what was the matter was, I was told that I was too drunk and had to leave. I was physically escorted out of the venue without further explanation.
