The Moose Lodge is not a Hotel. It is a place for members. Only members and their guests can eat and drink there. Consider it a private Bar for members only.

Big lodge, touch tunes, no queen of hearts. Spaghetti for $5 on some Wednesdays. Tacos on Tuesdays. People not as friendly as some lodges but worth coming in for cocktail.
