Fargo Elks Lodge: Where Community and Camaraderie Thrive

"Very friendly local low key place to go. I would have no problem going alone to meet up or stopping solo. I like they have dancing on Wed night from 4-7..2 step, waltz, and polka."

"My name is Shay. I go to different spots for karaoke all the time yesterday on April 20 I came there because I thought there was going to be karaoke again and I told people that I would show back up for karaoke. There wasn’t any karaoke there was a live band was awesome. I sat down on a slot machine and put my money in and started playing. Ken Who was in charge came up to me and said I had to buy an alcoholic beverage in order to play on the slots. I told him I don’t drink, bud my husband was on his way in and I will have him buy some drinks ame up to me and said I had to buy an alcoholic beverage in order to plan the slots. I told him I didn’t like that. but my husband would buy a drink he was in the car at the time on his way in so I called him in when he came in. He ordered himself a drink. Ken said I have to buy something but the whole time he was being really rude and I couldn’t get why he was being so hostile with me for me and my husband were the only black couple in the bar when I questioned him about his attitude and why he was being so hostile to me. He told me that he didn’t want me in his bar and I had to get off his machine right now he began to push my hand off of the game that I was playing and then try to cash me out I asked him why was he being so rude treating me in this way he told me that I needed to get out of his bar and Office machine right now or he was calling the cops on us I didn’t why he was calling the cops on us and kicking us out of the bar when my husband had purchased the drinks and I’ve been there before and I was never treated so hostile before never in my life. Have I experienced anything to this nature called the cops on us banned for a year for what reason I asked him if it had something to do with our race he said he could treat me how he wanted to never have I been so disrespected and mistreated before in my life I thought times were changing, but I guess some people are just stuck in their ways. I thought I would come there to do karaoke as I go all over singing, but I will not come back to a place where I am targeted because of my race"

"Me and my girlfriend have been here many times and have never been told that we could not play the E tab machines. We are not members and will not become members of this club. My girlfriend was charge 3$ for a can of pop which we have never paid that before just so we could play the E tabs what a joke. The e tab machines belong to the state on North Dakota not Ken or the bar"

"Some of the best bartenders in the world. Drinks are reasonably priced, and they always have fun things happening. Karaoke with By Request is a life changing experience."

"It's a typical clubhouse on the north end of Fargo, luckily for them there isn't much on the north end of Fargo. It's not a bad place, and if the band is right it's a pretty good place, but I doubt anyone will look around and think it's a great place. (Perhaps with the exclusion of members - ? - but probably not the either)"
