Ginter Park is a quintessential turn of the century upper middle class neighborhood. Originally…read moredeveloped as part of the expansion North along the newly expanded streetcar line, this recreation association acts as a summer cultural and social gathering spot for the residents of Ginter Park and surrounding neighborhoods. The building is a beautiful Arts and Crafts/Shingle Style building that was originally used as a school and meeting house/town hall. It is now the main club house for the GPRA. I personally join the pool each summer as it provides me with an escape from the daily grind. There are three pools. An adult, kids, and wading pool. There are nice gas grills and a raised sun deck. Bathrooms with showers are also provided for pool users. You can even bring a cooler of cold adult beverages! The clubhouse is nicely landscaped and kept up on the outside but lacks central air conditioning and is thus always hot in the summer. It is available for private parties for members. Membership is relatively affordable and rates ban be seen on line. There is also a swim team called the Dolphins. It is both child and adult friendly. Many 20 and 30 something singles hang out by the adult pool and there is a festive party atmosphere on weekends, the pools are even open until 10pm on Saturday. Single membership is a one time fee of $350 and a family membership one time initiation is $580.

Last night was their 2nd night of service and while they were knocking the rust off some of the…read morelinks the most important things were spot on. The staff was top notch, welcoming and attentive., The upstairs was warm and inviting (proper distancing and masks on) with two covered patios off the main dining room and bar overlooking Main Street and the new huge patio down stairs on the 17th St market side. We got cocktails at the bar and the gracious owner walked us downstairs to the large patio. He explained his plan (already in motion) of making a deli with bar and seating in a portion of the downstairs space, very cool. We sat on the patio with friends and enjoyed watching all the foot traffic around the market as well as a jazz duo (trombone and singer) on the corner. Now, the best part...Dinner. I had a classic Reuben, the GF had a Chicken salad croissant and our friends had a stuffed Hanover tomato and a pastrami and swiss on rye. The pastrami is done in house and was like nothing you will find locally, unbelievably tender, flavorful and perfect. Everything was super tasty, a good time was had by all and we look forward to more evenings on the patio and when they close Rosie Connolly's is right next door so...bonus. :)

Didn't know this was private venue when walking through downtown. We walked in. Realized then it…read morewas private function and turned to leave. While leaving some very lady who appeared to be in charge started being very rude. Mind the fact we were at the door walking out after having been inside a good 20 seconds. I even had to turn around to ask her why she was being so mean and rude. Definitely not someone I would want to work with for a private function. Anyhow I will certainly avoid the place in the future. And hey to the rude lady... How about some private function signs!

When I first arrived at this venue I was unsure how the interior of the hall would look. From the…read moreoutside it is a little dated and could use some updates. The interior looks a lot better and had mirrors and Omar's decorating the space. The venue is spacious and has a kitchen and bathrooms inside. Multiple tables with chairs were setup inside of the hall. It may be a good space for a shower, open house or other celebration.
