Burlingame Lions Club Hall

I passed by this place and seen the hall for rent sign. Logged onto Unilocal for pictures of the inside and of course ratings. I called and left a message for rental l information.
I received a call back with a unprofessional message. The man did not state his name nor did he supply me with any information regarding rental. I called back and spoke to a man who did not state his name but based on caller ID it was possibly Joseph. I asked how much the rental was.
And his response: «how many people are you having?» I stated I wasn’t definite on how many and just wanted to know what the capacity and price was. He then kept asking «how many people are you having?» By this time I was annoyed and still without any information about this place.
I then explained I wanted to know what the capacity is so I don’t waste both of our time. Obviously, I wouldn’t have a exact amount of guests since its an inquiry for a future party and RSVP’s would determine my guest amount.
LONG STORY SHORT:
This place is Unprofessional, Uninformative and not worth wasting your time! Lack of phone etiquette!
I’m slightly glad I had horrible service right from the start at least I saved myself the trouble of actually signing a rental contract!!! 0 STARS IF I COULD!!!

I have lunch here every Thursday with the Burlingame Lions Club. The hall is spacious and well equipped for events and food service. I highly recommend this space for parties and special occasions. I also recommend stopping by for lunch on Thursday to see what the Burlingame Lions Club is all about!

An absolutely seamless experience. The location was central, ample parking, private, affordable.
I have hosted two events here. 1 a kids birthday party here for a family friend. 2. a business meeting for 70 people.
The Lion’s Club International is a non-​profit, local organization to Burlingame so everything you spend with them goes right back into the community, RIGHT ON!
The person that helped me with the hall rental was a gentleman named Joe. He’s a total sweetheart– thank you Joe.
It’s a big open space with chairs, tables, full kitchen available.
If you are looking for an affordable venue and need a clean, open space– this is it!

I have lunch at the Burlingame Lions Hall every Thursday for our lunch meeting. It is really a great hall with a rich history. The lions club runs their charitable events and fund raisers out of this hall for generations. It has a full commercial kitchen, bar with sink and great main hall that can seat up to 119 for dining. We love to rent the hall to the community at a very affordable rate. Please support the Hall with rentals which we use to support our Charitable Burlingame Events.

I will not do business with this place again after hosting an event there in March for dancing. They still have not refunded my my deposit and keep saying it is someone else’s responsibility to refund me other than the person I made the contract with and who has a signature on the contract.
I have been leaving messages for months with the «only person» dealing with refunds, named «Diane» to no avail. The phone number they give to me goes to a business and I can not find another way to get a hold of her to receive me refund.
The man on the phone who makes the contracts was quite rude and unhelpful when I asked him how else I could get my refund he actually said he has no idea and does not really care. Wow! I asked him what should I do if the person who issues refunds never calls me back nor answers and he said, he does not know and it is not his problem. He would not offer me any other assistance on this matter. Very unprofessional.
Not to mention that when we arrived at set-​up for our event in March, this same person had the entire place configured wrong and we had to take apart very old, heavy tables ourselves and did not get to use the entire space as we had to store the tables in the extra room since they did set up completely wrong for us. I asked for 2 tables and 10 chairs and received about 30 tables, which we had to take down to make space for dancing. The only way to take them down, is to take these heavy metal tables apart. I had a wonderful bruise on my leg for several weeks afterwards because the janitor lady did not tell me that the entire table comes apart when I tried to move it and take it down. To top if off, we had to put the entire place back together afterwards when our event was over even though they made the mistake. All of this was done in order to get my deposit back and still, no deposit.
Very unprofessional and very unhappy!

Cute little venue. I came here for a wedding celebration yesterday.
Tucked away next to Washington Park is a cute, cabin-​like lodge. The inside reminded me of a small «mess hall» at camp. There were long tables, perfect for mingling, and a little kitchen where the caterers prepared their food. The main room was perfect for dancing and socializing.
This is THE place to throw a celebration for your one of your parents or older relatives. I’ve noticed that the older generation love to get their groove on, and their hips don’t lie — especially at such a cute little venue that reminds them of a family style country club or a camp they used to go to.
