I've been a Club MuROCK devotee for over ten years now. Back in 2008, I was merely a single…read morelieutenant all alone at my first duty station, but I felt right at home the minute I met Heather, the best bartender next to Florence Lowe "Pancho" Barnes. Heather has met everyone in my family from my dad to my husband to my in-laws. She is absolutely amazing. If I could give her a commendation medal, I would. She is friendly, efficient, and she remembers your drink preference! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.
Fast forward 10 years and things are still muROCKin' here--the menu has improved and the service is still as great as ever. Zach (hope I spelled that right) is awesome. You'll meet him if you sit in the bar at lunchtime, where he takes your order and doesn't have to write anything down. He's funny and personable and when my inner klutz managed to come out and gloriously rain french fries all over the booth, he was right there to help me! (Yes, I talk with my hands, hahaha. And I swear I was not drinking...yet.) On another occasion, I needed a quiet place to sit for a work project and he graciously hooked me up. He also deserves an award!
I was a Club member for a while, but honestly, unless you live on base or come here frequently, there's really no point in spending $15 a month. The occasional perks were nice, but I found I just didn't make it here as much as I would have liked. One perk that was fabulous, however, was when I needed to borrow about 30 wine glasses for a promotion party, I was able to "rent" them for free! Another nice perk is free coffee, which is great after morning PT in the desert.
I've been here for Roll Calls, crud tournaments, First Fridays, parties (happy and sad ones), karaoke, game nights, graduations and other special events, and office lunches. Don't believe what anyone says--the Club is still the heart and soul of Edwards and I hope it stays that way forever, particularly to honor Pancho's memory. Cheers, Pancho, wherever you are.
