The bar is well-stocked, reasonably priced, and staffed by people who know how to run a room.\n\nThe lodge also makes its space available for private parties and gatherings, though members and guests should know the room is intimate by design. It works beautifully for cocktail-style events, smaller celebrations, and seated dinners where conversation is the point. Large kids' parties with open play space are better\u2026",
