Elk's Lodge

The wood is more worn and a bit dirty from use. It is reasonably kept; not stick but also not extremely fast. There is a very large amount of sitting area as well as a bar with VERY reasonable drafts and wells. Lighting is low incandescent with a raised stage for the band.
Bamboo Studio
This late night dance floor is a fast cushioned bamboo hardwood floor. This perfect late night setting has dimming lights and is the perfect size...not too big, and not too small (approximately 155 sq. ft.). The late night venue location also includes a very clean single bathroom area lined with flagstone and mortar. It almost feels like a little cabin, but with all the amenities you need for a rockin' late night. Tap water provided. BYOB, or just bring yourself.
