"Hey this spot is literally on Bloomfield Ave and its like people just have never noticed this nice building with a huge Elks head and horns as its centerpiece. I actually loved it, so spacious, almost fully loaded kitchen and a bar full of good drinks and cool bartender. The folks who manage this spot were really nice people and were helpful. If you are looking for a good space to hold a baby shower or sweet 16 this is def worth it. Check em out!!"

"I am extremely disappointed with my experience at the Bloomfield Elks Lodge. Back in November, I spoke with JT to reserve the venue for a party on January 25th. He assured me the date was available, penciled me into the calendar, and provided his personal number to send my email so I could receive all the necessary information. He also confirmed we could come in the day before to decorate. Everything seemed set.
Fast forward to this week, just days before the event. After multiple calls on January 21st and three more on January 23rd, I finally received a call back from Felicia. She told me she was ‘confused’ because the date had already been booked for another party. When I explained the situation and the prior arrangement with JT, she was dismissive, sarcastic, and unprofessional. Her response was, ’I don’t know what you want me to do. Do you want me to cancel the other parties?’ She repeatedly spoke over me, claiming she didn’t have time for this because she was at work, yet she’s the one who returned my call.
While I understand mistakes can happen, the lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic courtesy was unacceptable. This experience has left me completely frustrated and disgusted with the way Bloomfield Elks Lodge handles business. I would not recommend this venue to anyone."

The ladies bathroom is nice and clean. They have free parking available."
