American Legion 1315 Broadway Street, Seaside, OR 97138

"Visited this American Legion for their Memorial Day service & I quite enjoyed the effort that this Legion put into the event. I really appreciated the wreath ceremony for the son that was lost in Afghanistan - condolences to his father who spoke. Everyone was welcoming & they had a free spaghetti lunch after the service. It was also fairly well attended for a small community & I suspect that the Legion placed most (if not all) the flags up around town for Memorial Day. Clearly the Vets care. The Legion was quite a large facility with a dance floor, a bar, a kitchen, and a band area. They also had various picture displays showing men and women who served in more recent wars from Seaside & a metal plaque of the men who served in WW1 from Seaside. This is more a curiosity than anything else - I wonder why there weren't Iraq/Afghanistan Vets present... most of the Vets that were displaying what war they were a part of were from Vietnam (early vs. later years). Therefore, a bulk of the crowd looked to be in their 70's-80's. Not clear why younger folks don't go there."

"Clean and comfortable place to hang out with friends and comrades! Bartender is very friendly and helpful as are the patrons. For those interested they have lottery machines, an active calendar of activities, karaoke is on the calendar for Fridays. Looking forward to visiting and volunteering to help out :)"

"Such a friendly place. Bev always puts on great meals. Wonderful spot to find American friends. Beautiful ceremonies to honor the people whom served our amazing country. You can always find a friend and a good time here. Thanks Beverly for all the great food and hard work!"

"I believe that this place is a down home Legion that serves good food. The alcoholic drinks are good and strong you can't go wrong. They offer karaoke on Friday nights. And the lady that does karaoke does a great job."
