As noted in past reviews, The Alpine Woman's Club does not put on the seasonal craft fairs these…read morewomen are mentioning. Our three fundraisers each year are: The Christmas Home Tour, The Attic Treasures, and The Spring High Tea. This building is simply rented out to these private businesses for their own shows. Anyone can rent this historical building for a nominal fee. Please refer to the Alpine Woman's Cub Website for additional information. The Alpine Woman's Club is comprised of dedicated, local volunteers who maintain and preserve this beautiful iconic building. It was originally established in 1899 as the town hall, and is now at the center of our wonderful small community. Most importantly, the Alpine Woman's Club gives back to our neighborhood by providing yearly scholarships, to deserving high school residents!

Shame on the women who operate this club. They sent out invitations to a craft fair this weekend…read moreand noted prominently that masks are required. I and my friends went to the craft fair, walked into the front door, and noted that the three women staffing the cash register and front door we're not wearing masks and we're letting in anyone who did not have a mask on. when I inquired as to why there was a mask mandate on the invitation printed prominently that they had sent to me and why none of the staff was wearing masks? They looked like deer caught in the headlights, said nothing, did nothing and looked at the floor. My friends and I left immediately, bought nothing and we will not shop this craft fair again. Shame on the women's club of Alpine for false advertising and not looking out for the safety of their invited guests.

JiJi's…read moreJazz Lounge is an awesome event that you should all tune into, and the vibe is perfectly matched by the Social Club. The shrink menu was curated for the Lounge, and they were really yummy. I won't talk too much about them in this case they were limited offerings for just the lounge. I will speak to their wine selection, which includes great wines and natural wines too. The wine service was amazing as well. I got some snacks to start off the night, like the cheese board and toasted bread. Both were really well done and delicious. I would definitely come back for a date night. It is very cozy and cute here. The decor and seating options are beautiful, and there is an outdoor area to play games as well. The cool thing that they offer here is an all-inclusive wedding package for up to 35 people for just $10k-- that's a steal!! Might mess around and get married, honestly. Parking is a little tricky, but there is a park nearby. I assume there is parking there, but I ended up parking in their parking lot, which is reserved for other businesses during regular hours.

My friend Bob Sortillion invited me to hear the band. The served a steak dinner on the night I visited. Thanks to bidenomics the dinner was $22.00. A bit more than I wanted to pay. But to be fair to me I was born in 55 and remember my parents saying how much prices have raised over the years. I ordered my steak very rare. The only way you can get it to me too rare is if you don't wave it in the smoke before plating it. It came out perfect. A nice big ribeye. It came with a baked potato,with butter sourcream and cheese, corn and a dinner roll. All were cooked well. The potato was smaller than I was used to, but then I don't need all the extra carbs. The ratio of corn to steak was great. I did feel for 22 bucks a sliver of dessert would have been a nice touch. My server was good. The guests were friendly. But not as friendly as those at the Ramona post. I have never sat alone at the Ramona post. Strangers have always invited me to sit with them. Perhaps covid has ruined that. Over all it was fun night, with good music, and good food..

I had breakfast here at his VFW in Alpine, a breakfast that is opened to the public, and I ordered…read morethe 2 egg breakfast, which I asked if they could make it into a omelette with the side of bacon and they sure did for $8.50 I believe. I had the breakfast with crispy hash browns and for a $1 more, I upgraded my toast to a small side of biscuits gravy. Honestly, I thought the meal was a three star affair to 3.5, but I upped it a star on the account that, even though I was a stranger in the mix, everyone from the bar keep, veterans, patrons, my lovely server, and the local biker club made me feel at home, therefore comfortable. This was very important to me because I felt very out of place when I showed up. The omelet was good but a little on the cold side given it sat at the makeshift pass for a bit. The singer server at the time got slammed by a large unexpected crowd, so patience was in order. The eggs were well prepared and it came with a very good amount of chewy flavorful bacon and melted cheese. Seasoning was good, but I added some simple black pepper because that is just the way I roll. The hash brown came with a crispy exterior and was soft center. They tasted good, especially with a couple of serving from the "Cholula" hot sauce they offer in the table. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good. I liked the biscuits given they were fluffy yet semi dense and had a light crispiness on their exterior. The offer a mild flavor which balanced well with the savory sausage gravy a top. The gravy came with tender bits of country breakfast sausage, and other than the gravy needing a little seasoning, it was good. This VFW is much larger than it appears from when you first arrive. The amount of inside seating is modest which include a good size bar, but they also offer a lot of outside seating, including a portion of the patio that offers a terrific view of the valley below and onward to the coast. It was a good breakfast, but like I said, it was an even better friendly bunch of people at this VFW: the cornerstone on what they do so well. They treat people like people should, like equals.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Encinitas elks lodge! I grew up going to the elks…read moreand I love that I can continue coming in as an adult!

Sunday often consist of football and brunches during the day, and dancing with Marty's big band at night! The elks is also available for rentals and they do an amazing job, as the staff is personable and accommodating to all different types of people!

The Elks Lodge folks did a fantastic job of organizing this popular event, which turned out beautifully. The tables were gorgeously set and the finger foods & desserts were tasty. There were a variety of very nice items offered for raffle prizes & auction. The auction was very lively with several ladies outbidding each other. It was fun seeing the ladies wearing their hats and fascinators & looking rather elegant! We are all looking forward to next year! Thank you to the Elks for working so hard at executing this amazing event and making it so successful!

4/18/26 Our 2nd year, yes, I'm very late in posting from last year's!…read more My friends & I were invited by Amy C (also a Yelp Elite) to attend Mothers' Tea last year and again to Ladies' Tea this year. Such a wonderful event! We were honored to be served by the Men in Kilts. The event started at 11 am, we were late due to traffic. There was tea (although in packets, rather than loose leaf) it made it convenient because we did not have the luxury of knowing who we will be seated with & their choices or preference. It was lovely as it was served in beautiful tea cups provided by the volunteers at this Elks Lodge. Tea first after we bought tickets to place our raffle tickets at the front. Items on display were donated by various members to win as prices. A booklet of ticket cost $10 w/ 11 tickets available. Additionally, there are also items up for bidding, also donated by members: a few paintings which were hand painted by members/volunteers, wines, Bath & Body Works sets, etc. Last year, a hand carved wine rack auctioned for nearly $500. Our tea was served with finger sandwiches & scones. There were plenty of scones! Jams & lemon curd was served as well, cheesecakes etc. Drawing happened right after tea. I won a tissue box with Tropical painted flowers. My other friends won a set of coffee mugs & margarita mixes. Oh, almost forgot, my friend, Vuoch also bought us a bottle of champagne for the whole table- not too shabby! The creative tea hat contest was decided by the audience clapping & the judge decided to grant the top 3 as winners. I loved the lady's hat that had a garden theme with lady bugs adorning it. Bidding like auction style was exciting! A few bottles of Mondavi wine sold for $300, if I'm not mistaken. Some 2 popular sets had tea sets with fascinators, lace gloves & lace-y fancy fan. (Think Scarlet O' Hara era). This year, Men in Kilts sang to a "Drunken Scotsman" song for the guests (us). It was a wonderful event, just dressing up was so much fun because I am not one to wear these costumes--first of all, a dress, rare occasion. I loved this venue. The camaraderie between the Elk Lodge members shows how deeply rooted they are with each other & the community. The proceeds help the lodge help the community. Would love to be invited again. Plenty of parking, free. Tickets for tea. $20.

I was looking forward to going to a variety of events. But, when I attended the 1st event, it was obvious that there were favored members of the group. I thought it was odd, but it actually seemed encouraged...sort of like sitting at the cool kid's table in high school. Not very welcoming...and who was the man who kept coming out to "check on things"? Is he the board president? I overheard him talking to people in a very, loud voice...telling them they were breaking a rule? Where are the rules posted and why the public embarrassment before that man scurried back to his hobbit hole? I am not going back.
