The 183 Club
A private, member‑run space for fellowship and small events in downtown North Bay.
Our History
Established in 1973, the 183 Club takes its name from our home at 183 First Avenue West. It began as a comfortable gathering place for members of the Masonic community to connect outside formal lodge meetings. For years it ran as a bar and lounge with a reputation for good company and better stories.
As habits shifted, the room adapted. Today the club hosts Friday Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, planning sessions, private dinners, and community‑minded socials. The purpose stays steady: a warm, flexible room for people who value tradition and hospitality.
What We Offer
Friday community night: a D&D group meets at 7:00 pm. Many enjoy a simple dinner beforehand between 5:30 and 6:00. Private bookings take priority with notice.
Our Constitution
The 183 Club is built on a foundation of fellowship, respect, and shared purpose. Our constitution outlines the principles and rules that guide how we operate, make decisions, and uphold our traditions.
Members and guests are welcome to explore our constitution and see for themselves how we work together to maintain the spirit of the club.
