"I find myself infrequently in this location once a year for a holiday party for my motorcycle club. I like the nice environment and the offerings of their group Gathering Room is nice and adequate and a on-site bartender for those that choose to have adult beverages or other elixirs alcohol or alcohol-free . . ."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"If I could give this organization 10 stars, I would. Today volunteers from this Lodge brought my brother, a former homeless Vet in new found housing, a home "starter" kit. He was stunned. He phoned me & started to cry (extremely unusual for him), he was so moved. This act of kindness was more appreciated then they will ever know. He told me, in typical Vet fashion, I have nothing, but need to give back to them. Pretty sure they'll have a new volunteer. This is definitely a group that deserves all the support they can get. Embarrassed to say I knew very little about them until now. Very under the radar. If their food, bar drinks, & prices are anything like the overall base, bet all is outstanding. Thank you again!"

"Tommy is one of the best bartenders that I have ever encountered. He is respectful. The place is always cleaned oh, and they have different functions sometimes every week. They definitely love the Vikings there. And their drinks are around the same price as the other bars there in Hopkins. Good location for walking around in seeing other shops."
— Karen Moldenhauer

"Great experience here every time. Their fish fry is delicious and all you can eat price is hard to beat. Love the low key atmosphere. Great service. Pull-tabs and separate bar."
— Lisa Stewart
