VFW Post 1774 "The Ship" in La Mesa is your typical VFW hall. It is old, dark and the furnishings will remind you of your grandma's living room.
Tables on one side of the room, bar on the other, dance floor/stage in between.
Our friend's band was playing at the VFW (a gig's a gig, right?), so we thought we'd check it out. Upon entering we quickly realized that we were easily two of the youngest people in the place - awesome!
Everybody was so nice and welcoming. We were made to feel comfortable right away.
For a requested $5 donation we could've enjoyed a pork roast dinner with mashed potatoes and all the fixin's. We opted not to, but it looked delicious. Homemade for sure
Drinks were incredibly cheap! $3.50 for a bottle of Pacifico or a Bud Seltzer.
Trish was our outstanding, super friendly bartender. We loved Trish!
Good times aboard The Ship. read more
