Since 1947, the Carlisle VFW Post 34 has stood on School Street as a place where service, community, and good times come together — one drink, one story, one handshake at a time.
The Carlisle VFW Post 34 opened its doors on School Street in the late 1940s, founded by returning servicemen who wanted a place to connect with fellow veterans and the community they served.
Decades later, that mission hasn't changed. We're still the spot where neighbors gather after work, where families celebrate milestones, and where live music fills the room on Friday and Saturday nights. It's not fancy — it's honest.
From Memorial Day ceremonies to birthday parties, we host the occasions that matter to our members and neighbors. Book the hall for your next gathering.
Local bands, solo performers, and special guests take the stage most weekends. It's affordable entertainment in a room that feels like home.
Full bar with well prices, draft beer on tap, and a simple menu of bar food done right. No pretense — just good drinks and solid food at fair prices.
Post 34 connects veterans with resources, camaraderie, and a network of brothers and sisters who understand what service means.
Rehearsals, meetings, celebrations — our hall accommodates groups of all sizes. Reach out to reserve the space for your next event.
We donate to local causes, sponsor youth teams, and keep the lights on for anyone who needs a place to belong. That's the VFW way.
