Ok, so I have seen a recent review about a customer who recently joined this post. As a previous…read moremember of the post and a member that cannot wait to get back to this post, I would like to greatly extend my apology for the horrible experience you had while being there. I cannot wait to leave the San Francisco area and get back and help this post out. I have a lot of passion for this post and I again am sorry for you horrible experience. There are many of people who know me at this establishment and I promise you it is not normally like this. There are a lot of great veterans there and also some of the staff that works there are strictly volunteers and do not understand all of the rules that go on with the VFW. They have many great feeds and an open bar with great prices. The food is extremely affordable and the service is usually spot on. There may be a few patrons that push people away, but for the most part, this post is very accepting of new people and helping spread the word. Jim Weaver is an excellent man and this post is one of my favorites. I miss everyone here and cannot wait to get back.

I joined the VFW mainly because they have a nice pool table that I can play on during lunch. I went…read morein, asked all the pertinent questions about the table (in terms of things such as availability, do I need to purchase food to play, etc.). Content with the answers I received, I paid my $25 fee and was given a card indicating membership. Now, the problem. I go in Friday at lunch and the bartender comes over and tells me that a group of men come in every Friday to play and that I'll have to leave when they show up as "they have kind of a reservation". I then asked, "Oh ok. So I can reserve the table for other times?" She responded, "No. You can't reserve the table. But, they're 4 people and they buy lunch." (In other words, they spend more money than you, so you need to go away.) Ok. At least 2 problems I can see here: 1) How is it that these 4 men have carte blanche to "kind of reserve" the table if it can't be reserved, and 2) if it can't be reserved, what business is if of hers (the bartender) to police who's on a table that can't be reserved?! Her business is behind the bar. I'm sure that when the guys showed up, we could have worked out an agreement. Maybe, I leave. Maybe, I join them. Who knows? The bottom line is that it's extremely rude and unprofessional to effectively imply to a paying customer that other paying customers have special rights not enjoyed by all. If they have some sort of nepotistic thing going on here, then fine. Tell me before hand, and I won't join. But it's poor business to take my money and then tell me after the fact that there are two sets of rules. Ok. It's a measly $25, but it's the principle that counts here. I planned my lunch hour on this, and now have no time to go anywhere else to eat or shoot some stick. I'm definitely going to complain as loudly to the highest levels I can to get my $25 back and to ensure that others know about how these people conduct business.

I can't sleep because of all the drunk people getting in their cars revving their engines, racing and burning out like they think they are the Fast and the Furious - I should add till 4 in the morning at times.

The Seattle Elks 92 is the 1st Elks lodge in WA state & preceded WA by a year. There is nearby Ballard Elks 827 3.2 miles away which is confused a lot with Seattle, especially when building was under construction, & a previous negative review was meant for Ballard 827 because there was no building at the time here. Elks bought the land for Seattle Children's Hospital on top of Queen Anne, created VA Hospital, Veterans Day, Flag Day, 3rd in scholarships after US Govt, & has Tall Elks Therapy program providing 100% medical for a child, VA services funding, & Youth programs. The premier American charitable organization. Best People On Earth! New lodge building has 2 bars on 2 floors, event space for rental to the public, & a kitchen. 3 decks overlooking the Lake WA ship canal next to the Fremont Bridge in north Queen Anne. This is a members & their guests lodge, but public can rent their upstairs event space with a bar that holds 85 & a view deck.

She was upfront with what was included, required, and thoroughly answered my questions. We opted to have bar service, with 2 drink tickets per person. Elks was able to provide us with the tickets, which I handed out to each attendee upon arrival. I loved that we could bring in our own food, but they also have preferred catering vendors. The view is incredible, and the patio is a great spot during golden hour. We even saw a boat go by! All of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, they set up the entire room for us including linens. I cannot recommend Shannon and the Elks staff enough. My dad is retiring soon, and we will probably host that party here as well! Just an all around great venue and group of people.
