Edelweiss Am Rio Grande German American Club

Great private club! Go over and meet the friendly folks there! Good prices too. Been a member for many years.

There are so many great events that happen here. And like most private clubs there are many different people you get to meet here too. It's always fun to come in on a regular day and just have a beer at the bar. As well as attend and event here and meet some new people. I really enjoy that they try to have something for everyone to do. There are even times they have a group learning how to dance too. I highly recommend checking this place out. I'm happy I'm a member here.

This is the absolute WORST facility in town to rent for an event. We had the misfortune of hosting our wedding reception here and I wish I could go back in time and go somewhere else. The managers are thieves, negligent and and racist.Anthony Roybal met with me a couple weeks before to go over the details of renting and he hand wrote a "contract" on scratch paper and took my deposit in cash only. He informed us that the biggest rule was we could not have outside drinks in the venue for the night of the reception and I agreed to abide. During the rehearsal dinner someone had purchased a small case of bottled water for the bridal party and shortly after our rehearsal began I got a call from Anthony. Before I could even answer the phone he was screaming and cursing at me about the water. He said that he would come down the bar and personally "kick every single ass out of there" and he didn't give a "fuck" that it was the night before our wedding. He made me cry and berated me for almost 20 minutes the night before my own wedding.During the reception he was over serving alcohol, did not even know drink ingredients, and served to a minor. I do not believe he is a licensed bartender and should not be allowed to serve any event. We had an African American friend walk into the bar with my groom and as they entered Anthony proclaimed "sorry we don't serve bananas in here." My husband said he was in absolute disbelief that he would actually say something like that. He was incredibly rude to my brother who ordered and liquid marijuana and Anthony asked what was in it and when my brother said "you're the bartender, shouldn't you know?" Anthony replied "you should fucking know what you're drinking"At the end of the reception he stole $150 from my mom. Our contract stated we owed $400 for the rental fee and he charged her $450 and then proceeded to tell her that there was a $100 bar fee that he could only accept in cash. This was never mentioned or written in our contract. When asked to return the money he said he didn't have it and I'm guessing that's why he wanted cash only.When I reached out to the other managers Adam and Miguel I was met with "deal with your issues with Anthony" and then ignored.I never got my $150 back that was stolen from my mom and we were never even given an apology for the absolutely horrible service to me as the bride and to my guests and family.NEVER EVER HOST AN EVENT HERE
