I just want to say Thank You! to the American Legion in Lockport for the wonderful experience we had while renting the little red building for a birthday party we hosted. The bartender, Maggie, went above and beyond her duties to make this a pleasant time. They were very generous and friendly and met all our needs. It was a good time for all and we received a lot of compliments from our guests on how much fun they had and how pleasant the hall / bartender was. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again if needed. Thank you again!! Terri Cooley read more

We rented their Pavillion for a surprise 21st birthday party. It was a great experience. The grounds, Pavillion and restrooms were clean and very well kept.By far, one of the best American Legion's I've been to. Our bartender Maggie was very personable and accommodating, she was great! The kids were able to run and play on the playground and they really liked walking around the tank and howitzer taking pictures, adults were able to sit on large swings around a fire pit and socialize. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the party was a success. I am definitely keeping the American Legion Post 18 on my list for future events and highly recommend them to others for their events. -Thank you. read more

Lockport American Legion - Delicious baked fish, very good - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

A non profit organization I work with scheduled our event there, signed a contract and put down a deposit. 10 weeks before the event they canceled on us, without explanation, yelled and swore at our director, and threw the contract out. The man who runs it was crazy drunk and rude. Now we don't know where we'll have our event. And they still have our deposit cause they don't write checks and everyone is too scared to go get the cash back from him. Buyer beware!!! read more

I called the commander, Mike, to book the pavilion for my husbands celebration of life for June 26th and he was great, at first. He gave me the price and told me to bring the deposit there during the week, Two days later he called me and asked me what day it was I wanted because he couldn't remember. I told him and then he asked if I was looking at the banquet hall. I told him I wanted the pavilion and he told me he rented it out. First come first serve. Someone else gave him their deposit. He apologized and even being a little frustrated I told him okay, we would use the banquet hall. Not to worry about it. I told him I had to take my sister to the hospital for surgery the next day and promised I would bring th deposit on the 19th. He told me take care of her and said he would make sure he took care of me. I thanked him and we hung up. I took my check to him on the 19th and he said he only accepts cash. I said I didn't realize that and he suddenly got defensive saying he always tells everyone that when he first talks to them. I told I didn't remember that and I have the cash. I gave him the cash and in a joking tone I said, " I hope that is all the surprises I get." OMG!! He started yelling at me for speaking down to him like he was little boy. I stood there in shock and finally said I didn't mean to sound that way if I did." He shoved my money back at me and told me to leave. He didn't want me to have my party there that I talked down on him since the first day he talked to me. TOTAL SHOCK! I am a very easy person to get along with. I could not believe this. My father was a commander of the VFW and never treated anyone this way. My husband was a veteran and I wanted this to be special, but I would never recommend this place to anyone. I'm happy to say I found a better place that gave me a discount when I told them what happened and even threw in a band that gave me a discount. I can't believe that man is a commander of any post. read more

Great American Legion Post. Excellent location for banquet events, wedding reception, retirement party, showers, birthday, etc. Food and drinks are great especially for the price!! Maggie's Bloody Mary's are the best ever! read more

WHAT AN AMAZING ORGANIZATION AND A WORLD CLASS LOCATION!!!! My wife and I held our wedding reception in the outside pavilion and it couldn't had been more perfect. The Legion has park like grounds to capture the perfect picture and save those memories for any event. This is the location you want for your next party!. There are two options between the inside, or the outdoor pavilion. The outdoor pavilion has it's own bar, restrooms and is heated for those chilly Chicago nights. Outside the pavilion has a childrens park and two fire pits with seating and picnic tables we used to offer smores to our guest. Absolute success! There is a menu offered with many tasty options. Mikes fried chicken is excellent and is highly recommended. Thanks Mike for all the support! read more

if there was the option to put no stars I would in a heartbeat. My family member had her wedding here last night. Mike was very disrespectful. My fiancee and I were planning on having our wedding there but we'd rather give our business else where. Called someone in our family a f***ing b**** because she was trying to make my sisters wedding wonderful for her. Not professional or organized. This should not have happened. We will no longer be going there. Worse experience ever. read more

This was one of the nicest venue for a big party. They are so accommodating and friendly. You can have them cater or you can bring your own. Their food was great and a hearty portion. The food is made on site and fresh that day. Very reasonably priced. I have already recommended 2 groups to this venue. Highly recommended. read more

I just recently hosted a baby shower for my daughter on September 19th 2015. I had no problems booking this event and everything was gone over with me several times. The food was plentiful and delicious, all of my guest commented on how tasty the food was. The bartender was very good she came around to the tables with refills of pop and water. I was asked several times if there was anything they could do for us. Any request we had were quickly attended to and taken care of. Mike Meyers was very easy to work with and always helpful. I would definitely recommend the American Legion for any event that you plan on holding. Sharon M read more
