It's a very tight parking lot where they only keep on wide open, I think you should have security for your parties there. They have bathrooms in the foyer and an area for the food in the back. Inside they have circular tables and chairs that can fit a lot of people inside and you can have a huge dance floor too. You can do a lot of the space especially when decorated well. Huge space for events and parties!

Close parking can be tricky since it's located on the small wing of the Marina Shopping Center. So when you plan on visiting for an event don't be surprised if you need to take a double turn around for a spot. There are two entrances, the main entrance into the bar and second entrance into the banquette hall. The bathrooms are only located in the back of the bar so if you have little kids, make sure they choose the best of two options in that area, either the karaoke singer or the bar fly. Senior citizens are the majority of this "Fraternal Order" although a few of the older gentlemen have tried to invite me into their sister league (lol, I thought that was sweet! However I politely declined with the upmost respect). They were all friendly and was very sociable about their past histories and easily opened up about their life stories. The bar is cash only and the prices are relatively cheap. All the workers here are friendly and are more concerned about you having a good time (especially making sure you sign up for the karaoke list!). The place is defiantly aged but I think that's what keeps this small crowd together. I kept hearing the regulars talking about building that place from the bottom up - they definitely take pride in their contribution towards this allegiance. By the way, their karaoke song book has a ton of oldie songs. Most of the songs are twenty years my senior.

The Fraternal Order of the Eagles is a members only club, with the exception that a club member…read moreinvites you to come along. The place has been around for about 40 yrs, and looks as such. The group mostly consists of a senior crowd that gets together on a regular business, always trying to raise money to help out the community. The people there are very friendly and they get to know your name pretty fast. I go there every once in a while to have a charity breakfast/dinner with my dad. All the people that work there are volunteers and I appreciate very much all the work they put into their job. They have a bar, which is where most of the people hang out and sing karaoke. There is also a separate room where they handle their club business/eating area, and bingo on some nights. If you are looking to rent the large room it will only cost you about $250. This place is a pretty good place for the older crowd to make friends,something to do, and help raise money for the community. I only wish they had a better source of income so that they may get an upgrade to the interior.

This was an outdoor patio show with guitars and amps galore and a friendly group of singers doing covers from the 60's to 2000. A few original songs were played as well.

It was very intimate there, with not much of a reception area. Still, they did have snacks available for purchase. Strangely, these snacks were allowed into the theater for consumption at one's seat. I found this both welcomed and off as I was hungry but had nowhere to set my plate and cup during the performance. It was definitely a first world problem, as they say. The bathrooms didn't seem to have heat, which was just a minor annoyance. As far as the show, the company put on a great show with the limited stage space they had available. Some performers were standouts. It was an overall great time. I hope people continue to support this theater, which makes art accessible to more people.

I performed with an opera company who put on several shows at the Mira Theatre, which is owned by…read morethe Mira Theatre Guild. The theatre is cozy, and intimate. The stage is small and there is virtually no backstage - just a hallway that connects the right and left wings. Downstairs there is a backstage-like area, where performers can change, put on make-up, wait for their scene, etc. It's not the cleanest space, and is very dusty/moldy because the theatre is a very old building. I think it's a historical house, as the waiting area and lobby look like old-time fancy parlors. The acoustics are pretty decent, and there are individual tiered seats in audience. A good choice if you're looking for a small theatre with lots of retro charm. Not good for any shows with a large cast.

Just entering the building you know your in for a good time. There are two bars and one is located in their old time dance floor auditorium. The drinks are reasonably priced and get you primed for dinner. They ring the dinner bell at 7:00. The dinning hall is loud and festive. You sit at round tables of 8 people. Do not worry if you do not know anybody because by the end of the meal you will all be best friends. The Galileo Club serves dinner family style. It starts out with a plate of anti-pasta, rolls, then salad, pasta, an entree and finally dessert with a shot of brandy. At the time of this writing the price was only 30 dollars. Wow!!! Did I mention wine was included and the pasta plates are refilled upon request. The Galileo Club is a fun place to socialize and have a great meal.

I have been dancing with this studio for a little over 2 years. It all started with my daughter who…read morehas always loved to dance. A friend from school told us about the school, so I brought my daughter in for a trial class. She loved it so much we signed her up right away. Not too long after, I noticed that a lot of the parents are very involved with the group. Some of them dance, others play instruments and some help with costumes and events. A couple of the moms invited me to take a class, but I remember trying Tahitian in high school and never quite picked it up. However, the whole culture at the studio is like a family. Knowing that I could bring my kids, I decided to try it out because I needed some form of exercise. Never did I imagine I would be two years in and still loving it. I went from just dancing as exercise to being able to perform in front of people, which I have always been scared to do. The best part of the studio is all the people from the owners/teachers to the families involved. There are no egos or people trying to outdo one another. Everyone is uplifting, supportive and helpful. And just like the name suggests, it is more than a studio, it is a cultural arts center. We are not just taught dances. We are taught the language, the meaning of the songs we dance and even how to make our own costumes. Plus, you are able to participate as much as you like. If you don't want to perform, you are not forced to do so. They even have special classes where they teach you how to play different instruments. There are even fitness classes like Zumba. Of course, right now due to COVID things are different, and extra precautions need to be taken, so we do not have gatherings like prior. However, I highly recommend this studio for anyone who loves the Tahitian culture or just loves to dance.

During warmer weather you will see members boats tied to the 165' dock alongside those from 'cruise in' groups from other yacht clubs in the area.

The highlights for the year are usually the July 4th boat parade with members decorating their boats and convoying to town and the river front neighborhoods, and the holiday lighted boat parade around Christmas time.
