I'm posting this review having not actually "been inside" LOL! But I'm sure it's a very nice club just like all the others I visit. I've never been to an Eagles club that wasn't a nice place with nice people inside :-) But the real reason for this review is for travelers like me and my wife, who just wanted to pop in to a Lodge to take a break from the road (I84, heading home from Oregon). So without giving it much thought, we plunked the address into the GPS when we left Madras, Oregon thinking that it would make a good stopping point for a rest and a pint of cold beer. When we got to the Hood River exit and started following where the GPS wanted us to go, we quickly realized this Eagles Aerie is NOT "in downtown Hood River"!! It's around 8 miles South of town, way out in the middle of farms in the country. Granted, it was a very pretty, very winding drive there and back - but I want to warn folks to not think it's right off the freeway in town. Boy, is it not!! When we finally got there, sigh, it wasn't open yet. They don't open until 4:00 - most of the Aeries around us (including our home Aerie, #3 in Tacoma, WA) open for lunch or just after. So after all of that, we never got to see the inside. For now, just this review - such that it is - and some photos. But next time down in the area, we'll stop in again and post an update. read more
