My Husband and I came in and my husband was rudely greeting by the bartender Megan. She then aggressively refused to serve him a drink without a membership card and walked away from the bar rather than offering him the option to get one. We have been coming to this post for 5 years and had actually been there a few days before with no issues. This is no way to treat our veterans and these Legion posts are supposed to be there for our veterans not making them feel like they are less because of a membership card. read more

What a great place to hang out. The people are friendly and very welcoming. We have made good friends here. Dinners - good food, great prices. First Friday of the month, the legion cooks and has some great walleye. In October the Auxiliary did an Auxtoberfest which was outstanding. Breakfast- good solid breakfast choices each Sunday morning. Wednesday night bar bingo - what a fun time. If you have never played this is a great place to start. read more

If your a veteran this the place to be. Social people and aver cordial group of folks. They appreciate veteran and have events and activities that we will keep you active. read more

Came in for beer or two but was denied service. Was told they only serve Members and to come back when I'm one. My buddy and I explained to them that we are Combat Vets and that we just wanted to have a beer at the post, we showed them our CAC cards to show we weren't lying, but were told to go else where because they only serve Members. Kinda got the " We Don't Like Your Kind Here Boy" vibe. My buddy and I walked out calling them Fake a$$ Vets and VFW wannabes. This was my first time ever stepping foot in an American Legion and my last. I'll stick to my VFW post where they welcome you to drink. read more

5-16-2023 My experience at Post 39 in Gilbert, Arizona was not as expected from a American Legion Post In search of a new Post to join I went to the Gilbert, Arizona post. While looking over the Post I was not greeted or spoken to. I went back outside and asked people coming in," was this post friendly to smokers?", especially cigar smokers. They assured me that it was. As they told me there was a patio out front that allowed smoking. On the patio, I met with Mark, and he assured me that I would not be hassled about smoking. He suggested I go inside to the bar area, there was a leader there. I went in and was greeted with a not so smart person commented "Another Veteran", I was wearing my Vietnam Veteran hat. Kind of reminded me of 1968 when I returned to the USA. I asked for the leader's name and did not get any answer. I then said I was a smoker. The bartender screamed out "There is no smoking here". It was loud enough for of the nonsmoker zealots to hear, heads raised. I then said "Guess that answers my inquiry. So, the same not so smart person said "Adios". I made the mistake of thinking Veterans would tell the bar tender to calm down. But the Girly men did not speak up. I stole a phrase from Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was Governor of California. Then I started to leave, and a Veteran stopped me and said if I was looking for a American Legion Post that allowed smoking, there was one on Alma School and Ray. I explained that I was looking for a Post that did not treat smokers as secondhand citizens. The Bar tender than said "Things change". Did she mean common courtesy, understanding, respect, or common sense. Then the not so smart person said "Adios", I said I will leave when I decide. He repeated "I thought you were leaving". Now let's walk through this the way I would have expected to be treated. When I came into to discuss joining the Post, I would hear "Welcome Home" upon seeing the Vietnam Veteran hat. I would expect the lead person at the bar to introduce himself. And when the bartender screamed out "There is no smoking here", she would have been told to take a break. Then the leader could explain about the smoking accommodations that are made available for the smokers. My history with the American Legion is through a mentor who fought In France during World War 1, he told me the horrors of war. He explained the history of the American legion. I have been a supporter of the American Legion since the 1940s. Question, does this post represent the values of the American Legion? Robert D Mandarino VF 143 USS Constellation read more

I enjoy coming here. Good environment and good people! This place has been here forever. I love it!

Totally chill. Nobody is pretentious. Just a laid back time in a no-holds barred venue. If you're sensitive, look elsewhere. Great people having a great time. Location is perfect. On Gilbert Road with a fantastic people watching option from the patio. Occasionally, the person walking their cow makes it that much more special. read more

Was in Gilbert yesterday, wife and I ate at Joe's BBQ. Great as always. Decided to have a drink. Although not a Legion member, I have an active military ID as well as a VFW membership. Apparently Post 39 has no reciprocal courtesy with other veteran's organizations, since I was told, hesitatingly, that I could have a drink but my wife, a dependent spouse, could not. Way to make a veteran and his wife feel welcome, guys. read more
