I went for a private social event. The parking in this neighborhood is practically non-existent…read more But, I got lucky tonight. The location is great - right on the water. (if you're attending a summer event and can be outside, or it's before sunset.) The bar seems to have lots of options, but no prices listed. So, it's a roll of the dice. "Market price" for a wine pour, I guess. Plus, they add an automatic gratuity. (Be sure to read the fine print) THEN, the card swipe machine asks you for an additional tip! This place hasn't been remodeled or updated in what seems like 50+ years. I hope to never return.

Sharing a perspective as a member…read more... My husband and I joined the College Club this summer and have nothing but great things to say about our experience. I was initially attracted to the idea of the social club. The lounge, which has a traditional college pub feel, includes a pool table, shuffleboard, a large flat screen, and lots of seating - a great space for hanging out. The venue which consists on two floating vessels has a large dock off the back. We were blown away by how much fun the dock has been. On nice summer days, we would come down for a couple of hours and lounge/lay out on the dock or hop in the water and swim for a bit. There are number of singles, couples, and families so it brings a nice balance of people. (We don't have kids but I've always thought this is the perfect club for those who do - without being too annoying for those of us who don't.) Also throughout the summer, they do Wednesday happy hours and a fun outdoor Thursday night concert series on the dock. I've talked to a number of serious rowers who enjoy the club for the boat access. My husband and I aren't rowers but to our surprise, we've had a lot of fun taking out kayaks (and paddle boards) - both with free access as a part of the membership. The gym isn't fancy but it's clean and has some good equipment (stationary bikes, rowing machines, weights). There are never more than a few people in the gym at once. I've liked it so much that I canceled another gym membership and only come here now. I wasn't sure if this would be a better "summertime" club but we've enjoyed into the colder months. In addition to my ongoing use of the gym, they offer fun social events like college football viewing parties and wine tasting events. Lastly, I have nothing but great things to say about the staff. They genuinely care about their members and have helped create a warm and welcoming environment. They really help set the tone for the overall feel of the club, especially for the social events. I'm glad we made the choice to join. It's been a great addition for us.

The staff seem very engaged and energetic and my daughter has only good things to say about her time there. It's a good fit for my child because she's really outgoing; I could see it being a little overwhelming for shy kids. I like that they transition between areas (reading room, gym, game room) and they have a good amount of community events, like a Halloween party that the teens seem to be really involved with planning, and a dinner a couple days before Thanksgiving. We really appreciate the chance for my daughter to meet kids from other schools and like that this is an affordable, safe option for care.

As a Boys & Girls recipient myself, I was ecstatic to have my child enrolled. The staff for the…read moremost part was great. Granted, this enrollment was during COVID and parents were not allowed inside. It was hard communicating with the staff that were interacting with my child much less even meeting them in person. It was primarily a trust issue on my behalf because of the lack of face to face interaction. Also, most of the staff did not have children themselves and complained about behavior from kids that perhaps a teacher or a parent would be able to troubleshoot. This only made some of the staff sound like teenagers themselves complaining about a younger sibling. My daughter enjoyed her time at Boys and Girls Club on 45th. They had lots of activities to keep the kids active.

Yes, you need a membership, and yes, they ask you if you are an upstanding citizen with no criminal record and no questionable leanings toward children, and they even have members interview you to put in their two cents about the integrity of the story you tell. It is all about the drinking company we keep, after all. What you get in return for your $55 membership fee, if you are a chosen one, is knowing you gave back to the children and elderly in your community. You also get questionable live music, decor straight out of your granddads basement, homemade grub, a place to drink on holidays with other lonely holiday drinkers twice MY age (which is saying a lot since I am slowly inching toward being that person twice your age), and bartenders that show with their drinks might that they have had years of practice pouring said drinks. If you are too cheap to pay the fee you can go with another member as a guest, but find a way to go, you won't be disappointed.
