Found this long time local bar in Aurora. It certainly isn't an easy one to find. Stoney's is for…read morethe regulars and it's unlikely that anyone just happens to wander by this. Luckily there's apps and the internet. The inside seems a bit dingy but it's got enough room for gathering and stuff. Bars like this are becoming a thing of the past to be honest. It's one of the few older local joints known for the loyal regulars. That doesn't mean they don't welcome newcomers though. Kind of funny how they made room for the facilities. The men's bathroom is through some partial door and a little hallway. Good prices on most cocktails. It's about $7 for Jameson. There's $0.50 bags of chips, but they sell frozen pizzas from a local pizza place. Good place to hang out a bit. It's located on Ridgeway Avenue at Hartford. They have a few slots and whatever.

Practically next door to the Phoenix Club, St. George Citizens Club (or St. George's as most people…read morecall it) is a small club next door to St. George Byzantine Catholic Church. The unique link to the church makes St. George's the host of a few different church events, and the catering company that operates out of their kitchen cooks food that is way better than what you'd expect out of an Aurora-area social club. HOW TO JOIN: You need two people to sign for you who have been a member in good standing for at least the last two years without their membership lapsing. I believe this year the membership fee was raised to $40? Once you apply, you wait for a letter in the mail then you go in and pay your dues and get your key card. They'll buzz you in and give you the form without a key, and if you're looking for members to sign for you I recommend asking around at the Phoenix Club (potentially during a Bingo night, which is open to the public over there) as many people are members at both clubs. FOOD AND DRINK: St. George's has a full bar, but all of their beer is bottled. This makes drinking here slightly more expensive than other clubs that have beer on draft, but we're talking the difference of 50 cents or so per beer. The food served at St. George's is on a completely different level, because it's made by Oh! Chefs, an independent catering company that shares the building. They serve food Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 to 8:00, then on Saturday from 4:00 to 8:00. They also have rotating daily specials like cheaper pizza, cheaper burgers, etc. EVENTS: St. George's has a partition that divides the bar into a larger party room which they open up for the various events they hold. Everything gets posted to the St. George's Facebook page and covers fairly typical things involving local sports, holiday parties, and stuff like that. GAMBLING: Gambling seems fairly limited at St. George's, potentially due to its relationship with the church? Who knows. There aren't any slot machines, but there are pull tabs and two different dice rolls you can do with the bartender. One is 50 cents and you can win free drinks and the other is $1 and has a cash prize. I don't really fully understand how these work, but I think it closely mirrors Yatzee rules. They also do 50/50's and other raffles during events. CLUB FACILITIES: St. George's is on the small side, and it can be difficult to get a seat at the bar if you go during "prime" evening hours. At events when they open the partition seating never seems to be an issue. WHY WE LIKE IT: The food is seriously high-quality stuff. Most other clubs have basic things like sandwiches and fried food, but the menu here could just be its own restaurant. They also make their pizzas completely from scratch, which is kind of unheard of for clubs which typically just throw a frozen pizza in. Also, because it's among the smaller clubs, the atmosphere is always very chill even when it's full.

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'.
