"Classy social bar with good food, friendly service, and sometimes they're open to the public with live music."

— Annabel Tolley

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The Tipton Comunity Theater performed a dinner Theater play at the Elks Lodge in downtown Tipton. I am very impressed with the Elks opening their facility for events other than Elks events. Truly a community spirit. The building is old but kept up in immaculate fashion. Free parking everywhere and the view when you walk out is the old courthouse accross the street. Prestigious, grand and also immaculate. Oh! The play and dinner were outstanding. It all worked together for a very pleasant evening out with the family. It's illegal to take pictures of a play (copy write laws) but I wish I would have taken some of the buildings. You'll have to just go see for your selves."

— Kip Jackman

⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I only know of the breaded tenderloins that come but once a year. I wait 365 days for those to come back around when they have them at the annual Tipton pork festival. I am not a member but would be just because of the tenderloins and the great people that serve them every year."

— John Choate

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Great organization. They sponsor a legitimate and regulated poker game (tournaments) on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at 6:30."

— Scot Reeder
