Fantastic venue for a show! Attended the Elks Lodge for the first time to see The Garden, Dr. Know and Ghost Mountain. I had a great time and the venue was intimate, clean, and security was top notch. I really like how the stage does not have a barricade and the crowd is respectful enough to leave the artists alone. Water, sodas, and energy drinks are cash only. The line to get in starts at the front door and moves towards the back of the venue. They allow like 10 people at a time and scan tickets and allow another 10 inside. I have to admit this has been a great venue and I hope to be back. read more

The that guy Jessie is a horrible person makes the people miserable in their parties. It's a waste of money very expensive on his drinks. Does not let people enjoy their parties. Bathroom service is terrible. They're always flooded not enough restrooms. Everything is falling apart never very expensive and rudest person there's other places better than this read more

I wanna think Elks Club & and Jesse for a great service I definitely I'm having all my parties at these club Jesse I want to thank you for a good customer service with me and now my invites thank you very much read more

Manager in charge of renting out facilities is very unprofessional, has a horrible disposition and will not allow set up time before events. Do yourself a favor and book your event elsewhere. This place is run down and not worth your time looking at. If I could give ZERO STAR rating I would.There are much better and less expensive places then this run down dump. read more

Jess was super helpful with great insight in how to coordinate me and my wife's wedding at the reception meeting him was the best thing smooth sailing from there very much appreciated he's the best. read more

Recently went there for event the service by the staff wasn't very good.The staff wasn't friendly when asked about bringing water to the table. The lack of servers was noticeable to the point people was asking when their table will get foodThe meal served was cold and tasteless.The place looked like it is going through renovations.The room was cold and the women bathroom light was out where you use the toilet. If you are looking for a business lunch location I would suggest going elsewhere...this place wasn't very good. read more

The lodge manager and bartender were very hospitable and accommodating. The members social quarters was the perfect room to celebrate a 60th round around the earth. read more

TERRIBLE! STAY AWAY! If this is your only option then you're better off just canceling your event. Was here for a big party thrown by my aunt and uncle. They bought a lot of drinks for the event but they were locked away in a closet because the owners want to make money off of the quests. "Ok fine, I'll go to the bar" I said. Went with my other aunt and bought beers and 6 margaritas for our table. Unfortunately, once we all took a sip we felt SCAMMED. The margaritas tasted like straight up lemonade. My mom was mad because we spent $100 on these drinks. We have never ever complained about food or drinks especially since I have worked at a bar/restaurant as a manager, but these drinks were NOT ok. My mom went back and asked Jesse if they forgot to put the alcohol in and if he could please fix them. He said that they batch their margaritas so they just pour from the margarita mix bottle once ordered and you get what you get. So now I'm confused why it took soo long to get the drinks if they really are just premixed and ready to go. Also, for someone with a strict dress code, he and his bartender are dressed unprofessionally. I dress better to go shopping at Walmart. Also, someone allegedly saw Jesse take 3 bottles of sparkling cider we had out when everyone was cleaning up. I know it's not a lot but I can't believe the audacity of this man. I only say allegedly because I did not see it, but it was a credible source. The main reason I'm writing this review is because of the restrooms. First of all, the women's restroom sign was a janky home-printed paper sign. I mean, come on man, I've seen signs sold at the dollar store, at least laminate yours, Jesus Christ. The restroom looks like it was just a tiny closet that someone installed a toilet into. No windows, no ventilation, and NOT EVEN A TRASH CAN!!! No trash can in a women's restroom? There were used discarded feminine products in the corner because where else are they going to put them? Or does Jesse want them flushed? It smelled worse than a gas station bathroom. My quince was held here 16 years ago and it's sad to see how poorly maintained this place is. I will let my family know that from here on out if the party is here, I will not be attending. Hopefully more people follow suit. read more

We had my daughter's big event in July 22, 2017. Jesse was fantastic since day one .He took his time by walking us through the whole contract, he made the planning scheme so smooth and easy. He was so helpful and responsive the entire time he answered all of our questions and helped ease all of our stress. With no hesitation and quick response, Jesse made sure all of our requested were fulfilled . Jesse is wonderful to work with, he guided me and my husband through the process from start to finish and was always available when we had questions or any changes that needed to be made to our event. The day of my event he was continually checking with me and my husband if everything was ok or if we needed anything . The Oxnard Elks Lodge is my place , here I am planning my daughter's quince again Aug 2025 . His professionalism and communication is amazing. Any questions Jesse is always available for his clients. I Highly recommend Jesse at the Elks Lodge once again my experience with booking my big Event have been so smooth and the process has been amazing . read more

The manager at the Elks, Jesse; has demonstrated outstanding communication. His flexibility in accommodating our event needs and his attention to detail and commitment has been exceptional. read more

Recently I had my event at this place, it was a great experience. I've been doing my events here from generations to generations. It's always been a good experience. Always treated with courtesy and very generous and attentive to fill my needs. Restrooms always clean and disinfected. I definitely recommend this place. read more

If I could rate this place a ZERO I would. I'm appalled with the outcome of management, their bartender, and the business they run. Upon our arrival immediately AFTER A FUNERAL Jess Gonzalez was so condescending, rude and hypocritical to the family who was setting up and bringing food. - Our DJ was told to take off her Angels baseball cap as he's wearing his Dodger cap half way off of his head. He threatened to shut down the reception within the first 15 mins of the party if she didn't take it off. He even had a family member take off his hat that had an American flag because it's "gang attire" (strange) - He kept walking around and pointing out things he didn't like (kids running around, DJ, hats, etc.) my grieving family was unable to enjoy their time because he was constantly complaining about things that were beyond our control. - His security guard had my family members open containers of food to check if paraphernalia was in there. It was humiliating and shocking to go further than just checking hand bags. - Don't get me started on his daughter/bartender who was unbelievably disrespectful and unprofessional. Her rage was quite disturbing for such a sensitive time for our family. I am embarrassed for her so I will leave it at that. There was so much more negativity to add to an already stressful day. My advice to you is believe these reviews, pay attention to janke paper signs that say no hats (even if the manager can't uphold to his own dress code), and don't rent from here if you are trying to enjoy your time. The amount of people in the building with only one security guard, and the bar was open... code ethics were broken and better business bureau will here about this terribly ran place. Every time people hear the "Elks Lodge" they immediately speak of their bad experience with Jess Gonzalez - no idea how he's still in business. read more

Zero stars, the person I charge by the name of Jess is horrible, he has zero tact, absolutely no customer service. Unable to enjoy anything as he talks to you in his condescending tone. If you want a venue to enjoy a celebration please don't go there. We made the best of it but he was a dark shadow lurking in the background. I agree with the comment about his dress code rule, it's very hypocritical as his attire is not professional at all. How do you not allow certain sports caps, when that is what he is wearing. Please do your homework and stay away from this place. read more

Bartender and member Jessie was rude to everyone and told me to bring my own water, even though security wouldn't allow it. Others were complaining about his rudeness. read more

Now this place is really a disappointment to elks members all over California . I could name quite a few reasons . Food . Bar service . I was laughed at by bartender at this place . My brother in law is a acting elk member so I had reservations for Thursday' . My hamburger was sloppy and sadly the bartender was a snobby uptight middle aged women who made my drink way to strong . The most unbelievable part of that is the bartender had what looked like her 1 year old son their running back and forth fr behind the bar into what appeared to be the "jack Beavers memorial game room that was fill to the brim with dangerous tools and dangerous. Equipment! I most definitely will be letting child protective services on this women and what appeared to be her father or husband . I was confused about that part . This place should be shut down and investigated . I will never be back .my father in law and second uncle are 7 yeah members of the heath department so I will be notifiying them about this operation!!!!! read more

Events manager is rude and tells non truths....His phone skills are horrible. He then tried to tell non truths about our conversation to members of the Elk's read more

Jess was very patient with all my questions and kept asking if there was anything else we needed. He allowed us in early as promised. Our event went so smooth with absolutely 0 issues. read more

Jess came through and saved the day for me last minute ! Communicated well with me and got everything set up. As to the dress code in the bar it makes sense to not wear jerseys or baseball caps just cause there are other events that go on there. So you have to stay in your lane. Thanks Jesse! read more

This venue is full of bipolar and angry people the owner is such a hypocrite the ladies who Decore the hall and do the food are so into gossip it's ridiculous and the security guards are just too much this venue has ridiculous and out rages rules that it is just too much the whole experience here is just horrible I called to ask for terms and condition for a rental that I had there for the big event and the guy kept getting upset because I was calling with questions it's so ridiculous.. I would say rent else where read more

Great friendly service .cocktales were amazing !! Fish fry couldn't be any better. Bartender was friendly down to earth read more

The manager is an idiot. He needs to learn how to be people friendly and not act like an ass. Getting drinks from the bar is too too slow. Missed half the party just waiting for drinks. read more

If I could rate it zero I would!! My family rented this hall. I do not recommend this Hall at all!! DO NOT RENT THIS HALL FOR WEDDINGS OR BIRTHDAY PARTIES OR BABY SHOWERS. If you are having some kind of work meeting this is probably your hall. The owner/manager walking around look like he was mad the whole time. This place was pricey to rent! The owner/manager was rude he is trying to make money from the guest attending the Quince he ask the host to put away all the food and water bottles and sodas they bought They had a room where they put it and the securities lock the room! And when we ask the securities if we could at least have the water bottles out he said no! That we had to buy our drinks from the bar. They did have free tap water that was disgusting! Also the owner is so picky about the dress code yet he look like a thug w a LA hat flano and 501 .. ears pierce! His appearance was not professional at all! Oh and you can't buy beer for your party you have to have your guest buy from the bar! Like if they didn't spend enough money already. Bottom line if you are having a party this is not the place!!!! Also he has securities inside the quice just watching ever read more

To the Elks Lodge , please do not turn your head on these ratings, I would definitely rate this lodge a Zero !! I cannot believe the horrible bad treatment we received from this place, We rented the Elks Lodge to have a reception after the burial of my brother , we wanted everything to be beautiful and perfect, all went well until we got to the Lodge, not only were they supposed to open at 1:00 pm they opened at 1:20 pm & The Manager Jess Gonzalez was Rude and demanding and the entire time he kept threatening to shut the Lodge down for silly little things , like telling our musicians to take their hats off , even thou he had a Dodger hat , he told us he can wear a hat because he's the owner , if you ask me that's a hypocrite, and his daughter the bartender had to be the worse most rude person I have ever seen, the bar was suppose to be opened at 1:00 and they didn't open until about 2:15 , we were not even in the bar for no more then 15 mins when she began cutting off our guest because she was having a bad day , she was cursing at our guest as well , we maintain our composure, this could have gone way out of of control , but we are professionals from the city of Oxnard , we are teachers , councilors , accountants, City Workers , Doctors. I have been speaking with several people from our city and they have received the same horrible treatment. This person Jess Gonzales and his daughter should be removed, is this the kind of reputation you want for your Lodge ? I will be seeking to find out where I can put a formal complaint and I will be seeking to get a reimbursement . These are just a few of our complaints read more

I could not believe the audacity the female bartender had. She had to be the most insensitive individual I have met. Our family had the reception following the burial of our family member here at the elks and the way she was speaking to not one, but multiple guest there, was completely unprofessional and quite frankly, rude. Granted this was already a difficult time for our family already and all she did was create more unwanted feelings of disrespect and anger. If I could give this place a rating of zero, I definitely would. Not only will we not book a reservation at this location, but to anyone considering this venue, I would HIGHLY recommend you not. Just read all of the other comments, I am surprised this venue is still open. Jess Gonzales kept saying he was the owner and he was also very unprofessional and to add to their unprofessionalism, they only had one security guard for an amount of 150+ in attendance with the bar open. Look up the laws in regards to that. read more

This place it the epitome and prime example of a terrible experience at a venue. I've come across a fair share of rude people in my life but whoever this Jesse guy is, is a total joke..and that's being nice. My mind was blown trying to comprehend why someone like that would be in a business that requires professionals to make your celebration a success. The security guard gave us better customer service then the people who manage it, you know that is a major problem. It was by far the worst experience I regretfully put myself in. It's exhausting and draining being around people who carry nothing but negative energy when all you want to do is celebrate loved ones. I would most definitely recommend you find another venue with a team of professionals who want to celebrate with you and not rain on your parade. Consider this review a favor and run...you're welcome. read more

The venue overall is decent. Could definitely use an upgrade but is bearable. The manager, however, should be fired and never look back. He is not personable and should consider a career outside of customer service. The venue I would give 4 stars but comined with the manager would be 2 stars. read more

every time we've had to dj here it's been a pain. the venue manager is a complete jerk. the venue is awesome if it wasn't for him. he arrives late gives you 30 minutes to load in and 15 minutes to load out. I've heard other horror stories from past clients and then i'm hired to be there I try to bring extra staff. read more

Big place for a party, wedding, dance. But the bathrooms are a big issue. Last night one bathroom was out of order, and the other was slash/ storage room. Very dirty, and only one stall. Not practical for such a large place. Sorry I can only give 3 stars. read more

Horrible experience! I will never EVER have another event at this location , the manager Jesse is a total jerk! If you want to be stressed and pissed off then this is the place for you. We had several problems with the "contract" he made for us ! Tip: make sure you have the exact time your event will start, the date, the deposit amount, and the total amount overall are all written down on the contract the very first time you meet with him because that will be the only time when he doesn't act like a total ass ! Also don't rely on his word he promised to be there 30 minutes before the event time to give us some time for last minute things well the doors didn't open until after 3pm 10 minutes late... We waited over 45 minutes outside with our guest. The party (baby shower) was a total success after the doors where open he didn't bother us thank goodness, but the whole experience dealing with Jesse was just not worth it! 0 stars I really hope he retires soon and let's someone with better customer service take over . read more

Never again! The Manager needs a new job, lacks customer service! His approach is horrible, as we were setting up tables he was slamming doors & being rude... Never again will I ever rent out this venue! He had the audacity to move my guest around during the party & made them feel uncomfortable...was refusing to turn on A/C because one of his people opened a window, my guest were literally sweating! Needs some extensive training! read more
