We were privileged to be sponsored and invited in to see this place, in order to visit my wife's friend while she was working the bar. This VFW post is very much like your traditional dive bar, at least to the uninitiated like us, but I'm sure it is much more meaningful to its members. There was a friendly comradery throughout, as everyone seemed to know each other, and enjoyed each other's company. They even treated us young dumb tourists from Portland with respect and kindness. Our drinks were strong, cheap, and came with several stories from a motley crew of characters. I felt honored and privileged to be amongst people who fought so hard for our country, and I wish all of them health and good fortune going forward.

Karaoke was even good. Now the other reason I went. The bar tenders not friendly matter of fact down right unfriendly. They catered to other guests and ignored me . Even barked at me to wait my turn when I was standing in front of her while she was helping other guest as soon as they arrived. Then she said this is all we have. A couple of drinkers later she pulled out what I wanted. That she said she didn't have. Well I will say this, she saved me from purchasing three to maybe four more drinks. Sobering but still enjoyable evening. P.S. I know I shouldn't complain but they need people skills. ALL PEOPLE.

They also offer smaller rooms for groups of 30 to 90. I loved the spacious layout of Meyer Hall, which is conveniently adjacent to the kitchen. You can decorate however you like, provided you don't attach anything to the walls/ceiling or use open flames, confetti, or rice. We used tablecloths, flowers, LED votives, and small candies, which elevated the space to a classy, elegant, wedding-like feel. There is also plenty of free parking just a short walk from the hall, making it easy to navigate for guests in heels or those using strollers and wheelchairs. The Logistics: The 4-hour rental (4:00 PM to 8:00 PM) automatically included two additional hours for setup and one hour for breakdown. I added tables, chairs, a stage, and multimedia equipment to my reservation. A security guard was required, along with a catering fee and a cleaning deposit. I did not rent the kitchen, as our caterers handled everything on the patio. The total came to $1,510, which I found very reasonable and affordable. I was also pleased to see the security deposit returned to my credit card less than a week later. My main contact, Michelle, was incredibly kind and professional throughout the entire planning process. Pro-Tips for Planning: -Insurance: You'll need one-day event insurance (I used Markel for $75). Note that providing alcohol requires additional coverage and potentially an extra security guard. -The Tour: You must tour the space with a staff member at least 45 days before your event and prior to booking. Since this is a busy community center, tours are only offered on very specific days/times. -Breakdown: The rental requires you to clear, wipe, and stack all furniture, take trash to the dumpster, and sweep/mop. This wasn't a problem for us, but it's an important detail if you're planning a formal wedding! The Highlights: My favorite feature was the view of the beautiful lake and local birds. The A/C worked perfectly, which was a huge relief during a recent heat wave. Our dessert vendor, Cabetos Pops, served guests on the patio starting at 6:30 PM. This coincided perfectly with "golden hour," making for a truly magical moment. While the lakefront is open to the public, our area still felt private and secluded. We also had Taquizas José cater delicious tacos on the patio; our guests raved about the food! (I highly recommend checking out their Yelp pages for my full 5-star reviews). Minor Hiccup: The only subpar aspect was the multimedia setup. The Bluetooth speakers didn't work for about half the party. I had scheduled a time two weeks prior to test the equipment, and the battery was dead even then. My fiancé and I had curated a thoughtful playlist, so it was disappointing the device wasn't charged. To their credit, the staff worked hard to resolve it and ensured it functioned once charged. My suggestion: Kindly and clearly remind the staff to charge the speakers a few days before your event. All in all, I really enjoyed hosting our friends and family here and would not hesitate to book again. They are undergoing some construction this year which may affect lake views, so just check with the staff before booking.

We had our wedding at the Lakeside Community Center on September 13th and it seriously rocked!…read more Here's why: 1) The venue is stunning. We had the ceremony at 5:30pm when the colors are getting crisp and the mountain cascades around the lake to make the whole thing magical. The ducks are a classic addition to any wedding. It wasn't too hot, and the room was perfect for us, which leads to the next point. 2) The reception room (the Moreno room) was the perfect size for us (80 peeps) and had excellent capabilities, with a good sound system, epic views, nice AC, mics and screen projectors which the staff were excellent at setting up. 3) The staff. From the moment we booked this place, the staff have been first class in facilitating the drawn-out process of wedding prep. We were never made to feel like a bother even though we kept wanting to see the room etc, and they had so many helpful suggestions. There was so much that we were allowed to do compared to other venues we looked at. Finally, on the actual night, the staff member assigned to our party was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient, despite us being in a whirlwind. I was so impressed with the staff! 4) The price. We looked everywhere. There was no where that even came close to the value we got having our wedding here. We felt VIP the whole time, and had an idyllic experience. Value for money fo sho! Ya so that's about it. I'm gonna upload some photos once they come back from the photographer. Best of luck with your event!

It's small and intimate place. If you're BIPOC and in the creative arts, be it poetry, improv, arts, dance, yoga etc. then you should check it out. If you're BIPOC and not in the arts, you should come out and network and make connections. It's nothing but love here. I randomly found the event in eventbrite and I'm excited to grow my connections here in SD by coming back for more!
