DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE or go there for ANY reason. We had a horrible experience there with the old men who sit in the bar and drink all night.
There is this old chain smoking drunk with black hair and bad teeth who tried to pick a fight with everyone at our event and kept wandering into our hall to berate and get belligerent with all the attendees. He kept telling everyone he was some kind of officer like the "Grand General Field Marshall " of that American Legion post, I guess trying to imply he had some authority or ownership stake in it. No one could understand what he was talking about. The little blonde bartender in the see through blouse with no bra told an 80 year-old man at our event "get out of my way" when she was going to throw some trash out in the back. Then later we watched this other really old drunken guy who looked like Doc Brown in "Back To the Future" stumble out of the bar, shuffle past us and then freeze. We kept telling him he couldn't use that door because we were in that space but he was so wasted he had no idea what was going on. He may still be there. They can use him as a doorstop.
I wasn't the organizer of this event but if I was I would have demanded a FULL REFUND since they ruined it. These are the people who give veterans a horrible name and reputation.
I also just did a Google search of this place and saw they have been popped by California ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control Dept.) for multiple HS (Health and Safety) and PC (Penal Code) violations that got them fined and shut down more than once. i worked in restaurants and my guess is the PC violations are for running a "disorderly house" due to the intoxication. The HS violations speak for themselves: do not eat or drink anything there, it is not safe.
Here, this is their fines and suspensions by the state.

They must make some pretty strong drinks at their bar, though. You can see the results on any given evening.
