⭐⭐
"Stopped in on a Thursday around 10 and were welcomed by 2 gentleman who said they were still open. Went to bar and was told they were closed but he reluctantly gave us one round. There were others having drinks but we were ignored when we tried to engage. This is the first Elks, of many, that made us feel unwelcome."
— Jay Czajkowski
