Vfw Mount Auburn Post 8818

Newly rebuilt modern function room and bar. Old cranky vets still included. The disappointment I felt when I was brushed aside after inquiring about membership was reminiscent of your typical decaying V.F.W. Unfortunately, attitudes like that are common nowadays.
GWOT veterans seek solace elsewhere.

If you are looking for the spaceship as a reference to the front door, don’t. I did, turns out, its not on the street anymore! Its set back with the entrance!
What a beautiful reinvention of the VFW in Fresh Pond!
I used to participate in various activities that took place at the old VFW — an old, dirty looking, wood paneled, dimly lit hall. It didn’t have much to recommend itself.
My family recently rented out the hall/​bar here to have a party. What a nice surprise when I walked in! Well lit, clean, new and roomy!
The hall had tables that easily held the people attending (40?) for a sit-​down meal that we brought with us. My parents provided a sound system and half the room was left open for a dance floor. The bartender that we had, Barbara (?) was awesome! She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.
The commercial kitchen that is available for use with hall rental is a great size. About a million degrees, and unfortunately the freezer was not on when we arrived so the dessert didn’t make it (in a solid state) being stuck in the ice machine! Barbara later told me that there was a freezer behind the bar we could have used– next time!
The bathrooms were well kept, and even with loud music and a couple kids running up and down the hall, nobody batted an eye at our presence. A great place, with plenty of parking for a party!
