    American Legion

    American Legion

    (1 review)

    This American Legion has a group of friendly and caring individuals who volunteer for various…read moreevents for our veterans. Whether it is Friday night bingo (a fundraising event), a dinner and music event, or visiting our veterans at the LaSalle County Veteran's Nursing Home, they always make time to serve the public and raise money or hold events in support of the USA military. This is a family friendly venue. Their building is somewhat outdated; however, they have been rehabbing for the past few years and have made pleasant updates. Their rental fees are reasonable and their prices on food, baked goods, alcohol, and dinner and dance tickets are reasonable as well. If you need to rent a place for a meeting, birthday party, family reunion, funeral dinner and the like, this Legion is perfect. I do not believe a large wedding party would benefit from the smaller building and since it is somewhat dated, you may not like the decor. The decor includes paneling from approximately the 1960s and numerous military photographs, prints, plaques, etc... I like the military history at the Legion and enjoy looking at the soldiers' uniforms, certificates and such. It has a small bar area with tables and chairs off of the kitchen and front room. There is a disability ramp outside as well as stairs and small deck. The large full kitchen would do well with the caterer of your choice. The American Legion has been an important member of the Marseilles community for numerous years due to dedicated volunteers from generations of local families. I highly reccomend their events!

    Love it.. staff was very nice and attentive. I would rent…read moreagain. The place was just the right size for my wedding. Check it out you will love it.

    Amvets 103 is a super modern post with tons to offer, everyone is super friendly and seems to know…read moreeach other- Likely because they've been hanging out there for decades. There's a lot to like about Post 103, I just wish it was closer to my house. HOW TO JOIN: Buzz the buzzer, tell the bartender you want to join, and pay $35. If you didn't serve in the military you join the "Sons," but as far as I know everyone gets the same access to the club and the activities there. I haven't experienced anything bad about being in the Sons versus whatever a "full" member is called, they just seem happy to have you and glad you're involved. FOOD AND DRINK: Bottled beer and a full bar, along with tons of options for food. I believe you can always get pizza, but they also have a full dinner menu and tons of specials. They cook their frozen pizzas right at the bar, meaning everyone sitting there can smell it. It's pretty amusing seeing one person get a pizza, and everyone else being like, "Hey that smells pretty good I'll take one too." Their full menu is served Tuesday through Thursday, 5:30 to 8:30. The full menu has typical fried appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. On Fridays they do a dinner special which rotates. EVENTS: They do a ton of stuff here, and do a fantastic job keeping their Facebook updated so you always know what's going on. There's always weird stuff to do on the calendar (posted on FB) like spaghetti dinners, DJ's playing, and of course huge parties for local sports and holidays. Oh and they have outdoor bowling as well. GAMBLING: Amvets has a bunch of slot machines, and on Tuesdays they run Lightning, which is sort of like ultra fast-paced bingo where you have a card with three numbers. Lightning has multiple layers to it, which I honestly don't really fully understand, but has something to do with winning a game gives you an option to win bigger/better prizes that roll over week over week? Also, they do Queen of Hearts here, which snowballs into huge pots. Queen of Hearts is on the first Friday of each month, but check the calendar on FB. CLUB FACILITIES: Amvets is HUGE. The main bar area has tons of seats, and we've never had a problem finding a place to sit. They've also got a giant dining room area which gets rented out, we see a lot of quinceaneras and other similar stuff (or what looks like a quinceanera, anyway) along with wedding receptions and more. The bathrooms are weirdly giant as well. They've got a bunch of outdoor seating around their bowling lanes, and there's a huge stocked pond that members can fish in. WHY WE LIKE IT: The bartenders are absurdly friendly, and we're excited to get involved in the fishing this year. They're also one of the only places in town that has fried pickles, the ultimate fried food. They also make it real easy to make sure you're not missing out on anything by being great at Facebookin'.
