My friend and I just dropped into here to see Lizzie Borden the Musical which was a whole lot of…read morefun. It was a touch weird to see the performers with head set microphones and also holding microphones but also having a bit aggressive on the sound. It is a small space and seemed to be set to levels that would sound a venue twice this size. Seat comfort can always be better. I was shocked there was zero bathroom line as they have one. As someone with a peanut sized bladder, I will never complain about an available restroom that is clean and has soap and all the papers. And now, a small rant. I am not 'sober' but I don't tend to drink while out and about and I have quite a few sober friends due to recovery or even a few are actually allergic to alcohol (I am allergic to hops and agave, aka tequila). Several of the friends I go to things with are one of these so I don't drink. I am also many times the one driving. Can I just get a Coke or Pepsi... seriously, the options to not drink beer or wine is kombucha, coffee or hot cocoa??? We seriously thought she was kidding. Thanks for having a tap with water? But kombucha? Here, since you don't want booze, how about vinegar....

The parking lot is a bit sketchy looking and there is only one ADA space so you will want to get there a bit early. Also, get there early for delicious snacks. They even had hard alcohol and mac and cheese which I did not expect at all or we would not have eaten so close to show time. They have great prices on concessions and a pretty great amount of options so support that! Most recently a friend and I went to see Something Wicked which was an 80s rocker interpretation of Macbeth. So much fun! Those costumes! I will say that the sound was a bit off - live band and quite a few of the actors were not seeming experienced with singing in this way so we could not understand their lyrics. They were so present though we were with them but it was odd only being able to hear the lyrics for half the songs. I know setting that many microphones can be tricky and their user can get paranoid if they get feedback squeals. But, for the audience - grab seats closer to the back if you struggle with hearing etc. There really are not bad seats here! The lighting was perfect. I also love that they say take pictures and video but to make sure to tag them. I have noticed at shows genuinely that the audience for these is really great. If people are snapping pictures, they are not being disruptive {which is what I really strive for myself}. I also appreciate that they do offer Arts for All and are so very kind to help get you ADA seating. Many places treat us terrible so feeling welcome is wonderful.

The content of the shows may not be everyone's cup of tea, but we sure have a good time! I have been utilizing this space since 2020. In that time, I've been able to see the potential in it, and the work the lodge's members are doing to help out the community. I even became a member myself as of January, 2024. The space is large and versatile, and the best part, it's very accessible- no stairs, comfortable seating, spacious bathrooms. The building is currently under remodel due to water damage from a roof leak several years ago, but the renovations will make the space better than ever! This is a lovely, affordable event space in the Portland area. Come check us out!

My husband renewed his membership 4 months ago (never received his card) Virginia said "you haven't received your card yet?" We said no, which should've been good enough for the bartender,( we are regular members) then we were waiting for Virginia to vouch for us, (never happened) the bartender ignored us, I told my husband "Let's go!" The whole exchange was embarrassing AND disrespectful! My husband will get his card, and plans to go to a different post. I won't go in there again, if he chooses to that's up to him. That bartender was a poor hire choice. She was abrasive and didn't even try to resolve the situation.

I was looking for something very specific and I felt like other bridal flowers didn't understand what I was describing, but the minute I talked to Teri, she understood it perfectly. I wanted something very loose, rustic, with wildflowers, that looked like I'd just gone out into the woods and picked them myself, and she did exactly that. We ordered flowers for the tables, bouquets for me and the bridesmaids, boutonnieres, and a garland for the wedding ceremony arch. Our reception tables were very simple and flowers were pretty much the only decorations and it all worked perfectly - and my bouquet was gorgeous. What's more, I had to take the flowers in the car with me in advance up to the camp, near Big Bear, and they packed them so carefully they all arrived in perfect condition and still looked good several days later. I can't recommend Teri and Clementine highly enough, I hope I find another occasion to use them again.

Unfortunately, we walked from our home to a restaurant and to Wunderland directly after.

While I certainly understand that this business has their own policies regarding outside food, the staff member we interacted with was incredibly rude about it.
