I interviewed with Tearle for over an hour before he showed me his pricing and how Equally Yoked worked. This gave me comfort as a single woman that they actually screen the members coming into their establishment. I also find that it's superior to online dating because #1 you have each members statements of faith as well as their likes/dislikes. #2 there are events to go to so you can meet people face-to-face without feeling like all you're talking to is a monitor. #3 if you do have questions about the service or need advice you can actually talk to a live person or use their online pastor and/or relationship expert. This far exceeds any online experience I've ever had. Thank the Lord for this ministry and may it continue to flourish for many years to come.

We have used the RC for two client appreciation/business development events and not only do we love it, our clients do too!

My photos below are of the space for our most recent event in the Cutter Room. Thank you endlessly to all the staff that is always welcoming, professional, and helpful.

The food prices are kept wonderfully low. Clubs do want members to actually hangout. The club is an absolute haven and perfect for business lunches, cocktail hours, and weddings (a fireplace so big even NBA players could walk in), and to just get lost in thought in spacious quiet elegance in a place great-great-grandfathers lit cigars.

From my very first interview with Danielle, I felt incredibly welcomed--and the rest is history. ITL has hosted extravagant events, but more importantly, it has introduced me to some of my closest friends. Through this group, I've taken trips, celebrated birthdays and holidays, and even had the honor of officiating my best friend's wedding--someone I met through ITL. One thing I appreciated from the start was ITL's clear distinction that it's not a dating site. That was exactly why I joined--I wasn't looking to date, just to find a solid, supportive group of friends. Since then, we've all been there for each other through the ups and downs of dating, offering advice or a listening ear after a bad date. No matter what, ITL is always there to lift your spirits. ITL delivers on its promise: it's a way for singles to meet and have a great time. They do an excellent job of organizing events within specific age brackets so you're always surrounded by people in your own stage of life. And once a month, everyone comes together for mixers, making it easy to expand your circle. Lastly, Kara (the owner) and Danielle (the Marketing Director) are the heart and soul of ITL. They lead with passion, humor, and an undeniable ability to throw an amazing event. I have never been disappointed, and they always bring incredible energy and unforgettable stories. If you haven't joined ITL yet, you're missing out--so sign up ASAP!

We held my dad's karaoke memorial here, and the staff could not have been more kind, accommodating, and genuinely supportive, they made a difficult day feel warm and memorable. The service was fantastic, drinks were strong and affordable, and the food was a huge surprise in the best way. The mushroom burger was delicious, and the fettuccine alfredo was fresh, flavorful, and a very generous portion. Karaoke night was a blast, the host kept the energy up, there were tons of fun participants, and even space to dance. It really brought everyone together. Parking can be a little tricky, but there is plenty of street parking nearby if you do not mind a short walk. Overall, an amazing spot with heart, great food, and a welcoming vibe.

It's not a secret bar, but it has an unassuming look that I like and can be easily overlooked. Their tagline is "your favorite neighborhood art bar" which is appropriate as the bar is filled with art and decor that gets your attention. Much of the art is for sale, but definitely for someone who has a strong love for it and or deep pockets. The bar has been around since 2005 with an aim to build in the eyes of patrons for patrons. There is a fairly extensive menu of cocktails that carry a pricey tag, but are good. I simply opted for a couple Tom Collins, and it was excellent. Had me walking back kinda sideways. Definitely a gem of a drinking spot, perfect place to close out a night.

They have mostly the popular stuff you hear on the radio but lacked show tunes (broadway shows), 90's were a bit lacking. Their search system on the machine was a little funky to work with but you can get used to it - we still messed up on some of the "next" vs. "skip until later" functions. Oh and some of the videos wouldn't work on the large TV and only worked on the small screen at the machine so that was a annoying. And you didn't know how it was going to come out until it came on. Not my fav. private karaoke rooms but it was worth a try once.

Many amenities are available, such as the driving range, pool facilities, the 18-hole course, as well as full range bar with full course dining menu! The club also has event and meeting space to meet your needs. This includes a service and culinary staff on hand that can tailor your unique menu requests. Parking is very plentiful and patroled by its third-party vendor, ensuring a safer opportunity to park and enjoy your stay.

She was kind and welcoming during our initial meeting and mentioned that email or text would be the best way to communicate, so we followed that advice. Unfortunately, after that meeting, it became difficult to hear back from her. I waited about a week with no response and had to reach out multiple times (3-4 follow-ups) after being told, "I'll get back to you." Our last message was left unanswered, which was disappointing since we were genuinely excited and referred by a friend who had great things to say about her. We completely understand that this was before we put down a deposit and don't expect top-tier service. Though this was a very meaningful date for us, and we had agreed to keep communication clear to secure it. There are no hard feelings, but we wanted to share our experience so other couples know what to expect when trying to save their date here. We truly wanted this to work out and wish the team all the best moving forward.

(if you're attending a summer event and can be outside, or it's before sunset.) The bar seems to have lots of options, but no prices listed. So, it's a roll of the dice. "Market price" for a wine pour, I guess. Plus, they add an automatic gratuity. (Be sure to read the fine print) THEN, the card swipe machine asks you for an additional tip! This place hasn't been remodeled or updated in what seems like 50+ years. I hope to never return.

Sharing a perspective as a member…read more... My husband and I joined the College Club this summer and have nothing but great things to say about our experience. I was initially attracted to the idea of the social club. The lounge, which has a traditional college pub feel, includes a pool table, shuffleboard, a large flat screen, and lots of seating - a great space for hanging out. The venue which consists on two floating vessels has a large dock off the back. We were blown away by how much fun the dock has been. On nice summer days, we would come down for a couple of hours and lounge/lay out on the dock or hop in the water and swim for a bit. There are number of singles, couples, and families so it brings a nice balance of people. (We don't have kids but I've always thought this is the perfect club for those who do - without being too annoying for those of us who don't.) Also throughout the summer, they do Wednesday happy hours and a fun outdoor Thursday night concert series on the dock. I've talked to a number of serious rowers who enjoy the club for the boat access. My husband and I aren't rowers but to our surprise, we've had a lot of fun taking out kayaks (and paddle boards) - both with free access as a part of the membership. The gym isn't fancy but it's clean and has some good equipment (stationary bikes, rowing machines, weights). There are never more than a few people in the gym at once. I've liked it so much that I canceled another gym membership and only come here now. I wasn't sure if this would be a better "summertime" club but we've enjoyed into the colder months. In addition to my ongoing use of the gym, they offer fun social events like college football viewing parties and wine tasting events. Lastly, I have nothing but great things to say about the staff. They genuinely care about their members and have helped create a warm and welcoming environment. They really help set the tone for the overall feel of the club, especially for the social events. I'm glad we made the choice to join. It's been a great addition for us.
