American Legion Post 397

the home away from home. veterans of different eras can come here and get to know each other and build bonds.
in regards to ron r., this post has been around before you lived on the same block. the place will not get shut down. you can’t stand the noise, pack up and move. got anymore complaints? go cry to congress. in the meantime, go fuck yourself.

This place is terrible, so many low life characters come in there and yell and scream in a drunken rant in the parking lot. This area is usually a very nice quiet neighborhood with families, City hall across the Street, Barnes Park where a lot of senior come to exercise and children play and a day care center next door to the American Legion. But many weekends and sometimes weekday noise from there is deafening, which is usually until late at night, I know the neighbors next door to this place and their poor little kids can’t sleep because of the loud music and after party talking in their parking lot until 1am sometimes.
I support the veterans but this place is a disgrace and an eye sore. I wish they would close this place down. Or the police would enforce some type of curfew and noise ordinance. It’s ridiculous having to hear cussing and arguing in their parking lot after their parties. Something should be done about this.
Some butt head bikers roar their choppers up and down the street when they have parties there, with no regard to the peaceful kid family area this. Those sick bastards should be put in jail.

I came here for a baby shower. The venue is simple, clean, and efficient. There’s an outdoor area with a bbq, an indoor area with a piano, mic/​sound system, and a stage. I believe tables and chairs were provided. It’s sufficient for a simple, casual party that requires a larger space (50ish? guests).
The host of the place is amazing. He worked the bar on the ground next door to the space for the party and I went over to shoot pool (50 cents per game?! Yes, please!). I’m terrible at the game, but he observed and respectfully offered suggestions to improve my ability to hustle. 50 cents per game and free suggestions? It almost feels like I robbed the place. Yikes!

Love coming to this post. I try to make it here on Thursdays especially. They have cheap beers and the company is always awesome.

I’ve been here once but the people who own it are amazing to Veterans. They made me feel very welcome my first time in there. Drinks aren’t bad either. Definitely coming back! Thank you for your support!
