This is a strong and active post. A lunch is available every day, and food some evenings. Non-smoking. Friendly. Sometimes music in the evening. Plenty of volunteer opportunities.

Came in for beer or two but was denied service. Was told they only serve Members and to come back when I'm one. My buddy and I explained to them that we are Combat Vets and that we just wanted to have a beer at the post, we showed them our CAC cards to show we weren't lying, but were told to go else where because they only serve Members. Kinda got the " We Don't Like Your Kind Here Boy" vibe. My buddy and I walked out calling them Fake a$$ Vets and VFW wannabes. This was my first time ever stepping foot in an American Legion and my last. I'll stick to my VFW post where they welcome you to drink.

Friendliest American Legion Post I have visited. Great group. The staff are super friendly, with great service even when busy. Really enjoy dinner on Fridays. Comradery amongst the guest is what keeps everyone happy. Veterans supporting Veterans. If you new to the valley and your a member of the Legion come on by.

Stopped in while visiting family and attending a conference in the Phoenix area a couple weeks ago. Online hours show closing at 10 pm on a Sunday but bartender seemed annoyed and told us they close at 8. Two of us are Legion members in New Mexico. My family was having fun playing pull tabs but the bartender was annoyed making comments about not being able to finish closing duties with everyone playing. Felt rushed to finish and leave. Took a license plate from my home post (online it showed they didn’t have ours) the bartender just told me they don’t hang them. Another person at the bar said I should have gotten one to take to my post. She seemed annoyed when I responded that I was told they didn’t have any to hand out. the other people there were friendly but you can tell the bartender treats her regulars different the guests from other posts

Crystal is a great bartender. Sharon also. There is a tall blonde who yells to uncover at colors. Not sure if she is a veteran. But definitely does not need to yell at veterans. Any vet who served our country will know exactly how to respond at colors. She seems to be a good person but somehow thinks she is entitled.

5-16-2023My experience at Post 39 in Gilbert, Arizona was not as expected from a American Legion PostIn search of a new Post to join I went to the Gilbert, Arizona post. While looking over the Post I was not greeted or spoken to. I went back outside and asked people coming in," was this post friendly to smokers?", especially cigar smokers. They assured me that it was. As they told me there was a patio out front that allowed smoking. On the patio, I met with Mark, and he assured me that I would not be hassled about smoking. He suggested I go inside to the bar area, there was a leader there. I went in and was greeted with a not so smart person commented "Another Veteran", I was wearing my Vietnam Veteran hat. Kind of reminded me of 1968 when I returned to the USA. I asked for the leader's name and did not get any answer. I then said I was a smoker. The bartender screamed out "There is no smoking here". It was loud enough for of the nonsmoker zealots to hear, heads raised. I then said "Guess that answers my inquiry. So, the same not so smart person said "Adios". I made the mistake of thinking Veterans would tell the bar tender to calm down. But the Girly men did not speak up. I stole a phrase from Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was Governor of California. Then I started to leave, and a Veteran stopped me and said if I was looking for a American Legion Post that allowed smoking, there was one on Alma School and Ray. I explained that I was looking for a Post that did not treat smokers as secondhand citizens. The Bar tender than said "Things change". Did she mean common courtesy, understanding, respect, or common sense. Then the not so smart person said "Adios", I said I will leave when I decide. He repeated "I thought you were leaving". Now let's walk through this the way I would have expected to be treated. When I came into to discuss joining the Post, I would hear "Welcome Home" upon seeing the Vietnam Veteran hat. I would expect the lead person at the bar to introduce himself. And when the bartender screamed out "There is no smoking here", she would have been told to take a break. Then the leader could explain about the smoking accommodations that are made available for the smokers. My history with the American Legion is through a mentor who fought In France during World War 1, he told me the horrors of war. He explained the history of the American legion. I have been a supporter of the American Legion since the 1940s. Question, does this post represent the values of the American Legion?Robert D MandarinoVF 143 USS Constellation
