Event Space: No matter how inviting the space look BEWARE of renting it for your child event. How I…read morewish that there was a review available before I decided to take this space. THINGS TO CONSIDER: You wont be able to use the Computer room or Game room because kids busy playing at the park or playing the party games you have. Besides they dont have it on and there are no help around to instruct you or the kids KEEP IN MIND YOU BREAK YOU PAY You cant swivel the TV!! Who will see your event video on that small room side?!! You will take your event garbage with you, home! NOT leave on their premises so might as well rent a garbage truck when its cleanup time You will have to set up the table and chairs even after emailing them a month that you will need these things to be up before arriving You will leave this space much cleaner than when you arrived. 2 rooms (main and meeting room) NOT enough for 70 people. Their website will tell you Main cap: 80 meet room cap: 40 1.star is for getting my deposit back in a timely manner

There was a time when adult schools offered interesting, non-business classes during the day, and…read moreso did community centers. Budget cuts ended that. This center has stepped up and filled the void. They seem to have something for everyone. I belong to a weekly writing group. My medical insurance pays for gym classes at the center. They also offer lunch daily, that is cooked on the premise. Despite how many times I've used the Yelp check in, I can't really comment too much on the lunch. I've only eaten here for the holiday special lunches on Halloween. The food was good enough that I finished it; however, it might be seasoned for older people and be on the bland side. Being the duchess at a senior center horrified me at first, but then I decided what the heck, I'll continue to check in and write a review. Surprisingly this center is not filled with only old folks. After all, even if I use my adjusted age, I'm still might almost be old enough to participate

I have Silver Sneakers and the Pinole Senior Center was listed as a location. When I arrived I was treated with rudeness beyond words. I entered the building and was greeted by a women who spoke to me as though I had broken the law. She interrogated me and made me feel most unwelcomed, even though I told her I was there to get information. I won't be going back to this unfriendly environment and shame on them for calling themselves a Senior Center. There is definitely a lack of community service coming from this place

Finally had a chance to visit. Place still looks brand new eventhough opened 5 or more yrs…read more This is a city owned facility community center so not at all affiliated with the middle school next door or the track field. Not sure what to think of this place yet but looks great so far. According to the coordinator, theres rooms to rent, affordable classes to take and free kids programs. More info on their website. Cafe inside as you walk in and a front desk to the right. Drinks, coffee and some desserts. Three lounge benches to wait, rest while enjoying your order. Concrete tables in back with view of middle school's basketball courts and track. Limited parking out front. Will try their cafe next time. Come support this local facility.

I went to the Bayview Eagles performance space, adjacent to the bar for a fabulous Cajun/Zydeco…read moreperformance by a new friend of mine, Andrew Carriere and his group of extremely talented musicians. He comes from a storied Louisiana family of Cajun and Zydeco musicians. He is versatile, sings, plays the triangle, the harmonica and the washboard. and in my little experience of watching him play with various groups, he lets everyone shine. His band's music was made for dancing and I have two left or right feet. The regular fans know what they are coming for - to dance. One of these days I'll earn without upsetting a partner. But then someone has to pay the price for teaching a newbie. A great place to visit for affordable beer and some wine. If Andre performs there, I'll be prepped to dance :)

I was invited for a round of golf by my cousin and her husband who are members. I had never heard…read moreof the Richmond Country Club, but it is a members only course. It's been about 8 years since I played regularly, so I am trying to get myself out there and take advantage of the summer, exercise and friendly competition. I arrived early for our late morning tee off, so I found myself at the bar celebrating a pre-birthday mimosa while getting my game face ready. The place was somewhat empty that morning, but the golf course was a steady flow of players. Without a drivable cart, we were lagging behind others who had one and were better - so we tried to hurry up and let others play through to catch up. Overall everyone was nice and the timing worked out. After 9 holes, there's a snack shack with sandwiches, hot dogs, ice cold beer and beverages. It's like the reward you've been waiting for. I had a nice cold Lagunitas IPA and hung out with my family enjoying the scenery. I had a blast at Richmond Country Club and look forward to going back again after a few more rounds of practice.

Update: a few people have written me asking about my review over the years and why i would…read morerecommend not joining the club. While i do think the course is great, (except for holes 2-4, which are kinda shoehorned in) Mike Iker and the board that support him at Richmond are completely incompetent. There was an incident where a very rich, very well connected group hit into ours over and over again. There was a confrontation, and because a guest of a member in my group used a curse word toward the group that had hit into us and cursed at us multiple times, we were asked to write a formal apology to the group that went out of their way to try to injure us and also be jerks. When i met with the board, other members were on my side and explained to "mr" Iker that he was clearly wrong and that if anyone should apologize, it was the other group. He was unrelenting and in the end, six of the younger members ended up leaving the club because we were harassed by the group in question, and by Mike himself. I received apologies from the GM and the head of sales, who were both very nice, for Mike's behavior, and multiple people have apologized to me since. I could see rejoining the club if i got an apology from mike and the club, and a clear outline of how they hope to change, but i generally dont hold my breath on stubborn cowards doing the right thing. edit: Mike emailed me after I wrote this review to awkwardly, cowardly, and sarcastically thank me for my feedback. I don't think there is anything on earth that sums him and the club up as well as that. You're welcome for saving you all from these sad husks of excuses for men.
