ATTENTION, UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT! I am giving this place a one out of five rating but if I could…read moregive less (0) I would. We scheduled for a baby shower around the time of April for a July date for the event. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to change the date which was discussed and agreed over the phone with the current owner and was agreed on. A confirmation email was never sent which I believe should have been sent the minute we got off the phone if next day prior. The baby shower was then four days away when they called us and let us know that we were not able to have our baby shower at the location anymore. The current owners failed to inform us in advance and failed to let us know that the event space was rented already since March. We ended up having to find a place three days prior to the event. They also decided to throw on other expenses in terms of tables which was not mentioned during the time of agreement. I highly do not recommend this place, highly unprofessional and irresponsible. Again if you do rent out this event space I assure you that you should make sure that you discuss all possible things that you think may be charged and all possible things that may be going wrong. BECAUSE SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG. PS old management was not an issue, it is just this group of people who are highly, and extremely unprofessional

if you are black and you are considering doing an event at this place, please don't. they are rude…read moreand racist. I was decorating for an event for someone, the first day I went there to check out the place the lady spoke to me like I was a child, it was so upsetting that i couldn't stand to be around her. the day of the even I was promise a table it wasn't there, I went to the front part of the bar. I ask the lady at the bar for a smaller table, she said the don't have any smaller table even though I seen it there the first time, I was there, she seen annoyed by my pure presence, then I ask them to put the AC on it was july 6 at 3pm, the black was melting off me, they never did, finally the bartender came at 6pm and ask why is the ac not on, I joke, 'they were trying to melt the black of us unfortunately for them it didn't work' she didn't find it funny anyways at 10pm when the event was over and we were trying to pack our stuff short from them putting on boots and kicking us out, they were rude started taking delicate stuff out with out being wrap correctly to the front door and placing them outside, and telling us to get out. the people I did this event for were super nice church going people, I really wanted to go there a few time and let them know how I felt about them but out of respect to the people I was doing the event for I didn't, I am not from Medford and I was told by a few people that white people in Medford are racist and seeing these people I am leaning toward believing that but I like to judge individuals not groups.

While this place on its own is rather nondescript, they host a banging party on the waterfront. I…read morehighly recommend a "Dancing on the Charles" event during the summertime. My gripes are that they tend to play more techy house music, and I like the deep stuff, and that the concrete patio isn't good on the ankles. Though the worst thing was the lack of bartenders. Like um, one. The queue was out the door. People were buying six packs so they wouldn't have to keep waiting in line for half an hour. BETTER SYSTEM! Also, they really need to get rid of the horrible orange plastic fence that obstructs the view of the gorgeous, moonlit river. I understand they don't want people to sneak in, but then just extend the fence to the water on either side. I doubt you'll have anyone swimming to enter, eh? But how can you beat grooving under the moon and stars alongside running water? Exactly. You can't.

No no no.. please don't put anymore dance nights on here please. I appreciate the idea - dancing…read moreoutdoors by the river, away from the public, somewhere cool and grungy. But let's say we start with 5 stars for that idea - well, we end up getting down to 1 star because: ::: -1 star ::: Concrete floor that destroys your ankles after 45 mins of serious dancing. Somebody hyelp, get me an ankle doctor. ::: -1 star ::: Location that really sucks when you want to move on. To where? How? Taxi! TAXI! Anyone? ::: -1 star ::: Volume gets turned down to itty bitty level at 12.45 so that if you want to seriously ass shake, you have to occupy a small area within 8ft of one of the two speakers to be able to feel the music ::: -1 star ::: Bar that although ridiculously cheap, is a huge nightmare - it's run by grumpy old boston guys who find any excuse not to serve you, revel in stacking up large lines, close early for no reason and just chat with their pervy buddies (one proudly announced to me he was a 'Tits Man' as he was staring at the girl beside me's boobs). It could be so much better. Maybe if I bring a hipflask, nike air max and my own ipod I'll have a good time here. I only went for the Thunderdome that sucked so maybe it can better on other nights.

Was recently there for friends wedding on March 28th and the crew was excellent!! Very helpful &…read moregreat bartender. The place looked amazing and everyone had alot of fun! The only downside is the parking. Perhaps parking elsewhere & busing folks in would be better if a large event. DJ was great, food was excellent , photo booth was fun.

I don't think you're an actual grown-up until you rent out an Elks Lodge for a party…read more This Elks Lodge, off of Mass. Ave in Arlington, is as Elks Lodge-y as you could possibly want. Parking lot, small bar with cheap booze, spacious floors and a couple of panels missing from the ceiling. It is absolutely perfect for your non-wedding function needs. Assuming you're not too classy.
