They also offer gymnastics classes, volleyball, golf and bowling teams. Need to rent a hall for a wedding?

Bingo is the name of the game, and those who don't get there early could get shut out. "I play bingo wherever I can, and I like it here a lot," said Mary Anne Fischer. She's not a club member, but you're not required to be for bingo games. "They're so nice here, and everyone acts like you're part of the club," Fischer said.

    I learned a little something about culture here. Not Slovak culture, but bingo fanatic culture, aka…read moregambling addiction. The space is wide open and airy with lots of long tables, each seating one to three players - many players took up entire tables with their excessive quantity of bingo cards, wide variety of dabbers (often in a specifically designed tote bag), and in some cases, an array of good luck charms. Bright fluorescent lights illuminate the scene and a balcony with overflow seating was our vantage point for observation (and play). Their website says they have a smoking floor and a non smoking floor, so I was imagining a darker smoke filled social hall, but there is now no smoking allowed and I soon realized that bingo is not a social game. With my one bingo card, I had twelve boards to keep up with (twelve is the minimum for play = $12), and let me tell you, I had a hard time staying with it - they call them out fairly rapidly! Chatting and joking with my friend was hardly possible without blowing our game. The food was super limited, low quality, mostly packaged junk. No alcohol is served. There is only one reason to attend and that is for the hope of winning money. There was an interesting buzz in the room toward the end of each game, like the group had a psychic (more like experienced) knowledge that bingo was about to be called. This collective murmur felt like a communal expression of frustration and anxiety. We try so hard, come so close and rarely succeed. The demographic of the room is statistically disadvantaged peoples. In addition to bingo, dealers on the floor sell other sorts of game tickets, like paper slot machine cards. The psychological exchange between the dealers and the players was like a crack deal; the dealers knew many of the players, knew when to come around, what to say and used lingo an outsider would not understand. There was an antsy desperation to win among the addicted, me, I just wanted to get outta there. With a packed house, there is no doubt someone is winning, that is the Slovak Catholic Sokols and their beneficiaries. As for the venue, although full of characters, it has no character itself - it is one of those big quick construction metal buildings.

Understandable, but distracting. The nursery was on the third floor, so of course we heard them running around during service. Could we have had service on third floor? I didn't go up there to see the layout, but probably not. The elevator is small. We only squeezed 3 people in. I sat 4th row from the back, and finally asked waitstaff to please turn down the radio in the kitchen, as the pastor was preaching. They did, but only slightly. Eventually. I moved. After service, we headed to first floor for a light brunch. A sign stated additional seating was available on second and third floors. That seemed awkward, and inconvenient. There weren't many seats downstairs near the buffet. That was fine, but people (some older) had to climb stairs to eat, or take elevator upstairs. We ate standing at a narrow counter on one side of the bar. The buffet included juice, coffee, tea, bagels, egg, sausage or ham, and cheese sandwiches on (untoasted) hamburger buns, (soggy looking) french toast, a delicious fresh fruit salad, sausage patties, and danish assortment. I took fruit salad (delicious), and a sandwich with sausage, intending to throw sausage out. I threw the sandwich out (see photo). The egg was a cold, shrunken, disgusting mess, with a greasy sausage patty, and plastic-looking, cheese square on a hamburger bun. I felt this was far below the caliber of what I would think Club members would expect. Either that, or Club members' standards are very low. This was nothing like the nice dinner we had there in March. Nothing. A sign in foyer stated they were making upgrades. Refer to my photos. There didn't appear to be any progress since March. We went to the (only) restroom before the service. Both stalls were occupied. A lady came out of one; a man (not transgender)popped out of the other. Apparently, there is only one (unisex sign) restroom. We were cool with that. Hey, there were doors on the stalls, so no big deal to us. However, some others didn't seem so cool with that. The waitstaff, though, were nice enough, but appeared a bit inexperienced. NOTE: Immature, and incapable of accepting criticism graciously , and using it to do better. Based on responses from the chef (who said he'd pray for me), and another employee, who immediately sent me messages here, I changed from 2 to 1 star. Neither were at all apologetic (but combative, defensive). Apparently, I hit a nerve. Just not the gracious, mature one. No employee commented on my first review, not even to say thank you. I wish them well.

They had a banjo band playing! You heard that right -- a banjo band! And... you they were good! Sorta gave me a Haufbrau house kinda vibe. Our fish came ( I got the small and it was plenty). The fries were good and the slaw is mayo based ( for those the are interested). Def make this one of our stops next year!

They open at 6:00 and…read morethey go until 8:00 p.m. And I would suggest you get there early and be prepared to stand in line. I got there around 5:20 and I wasn't very close to the front of the line. But because of the wait it was nice to talk to the people around you in line. There were even girl scouts selling cookies to everyone waiting which I thought was genius. They have a big fish sandwich and a small fish sandwich and then you get two sides. You can get stewed tomatoes, mac and cheese, coleslaw, or fries. They might have different mains other than the fish sandwiches but I usually just go for that so I don't think I looked at anything else. It is cash only but there's an ATM on site and you can order ahead for pickup. But if you have the time I would say sit and wait and hang out there because they have a banjo band that will also play polka. It's a really great experience and the food is delicious. Just know that you might wait a little bit but it's worth it.
