The Cafe 187 Bar is now open and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. However, per the State of Illinois, customers may only consume their purchase seated at the tables, and not at the bar itself.
Friday Fish Fry and Weekly Entertainment are suspended for the foreseeable future.
The City of Elmhurst has announced that the 2021 St. Patrick's Day Parade has been canceled due to the pandemic and State restrictions.
Other events such as Bingo, Queen of Hearts, and Post meetings, are cancelled until further notice.
Changes will be updated here as they become available. We want to thank all of our Patrons for their continued support during this uneasy time. We will continue to do our part by serving you every day.

If you are a local citizen, business entity, or organization, and would like to advertise on our website, please contact the Post at 630-833-7800. We will have someone get back to you. We will work with you on donation rates, publication terms, and on what category you'd like to appear in (see below), the size of copy (partial page shared with others, or full page self standing), and whether it is in color or black and white. We can also include links to your own website. Per the Legion website administrator, Legionsites.com, the copy should be in a jpeg format for the best appearance on the site.
You may also may wish to be a sponsor or booster of the Post. See tab "Advertising, Supporters" for our three categories of recognition: Advertisers, Boosters, and Sponsors. Existing organizations taken from the discontinued print version of The Sniper will be contacted to upgrade their copy to a web format if they wish to do so.
Thank you in advance for your interest and support of T.H.B. Post 187!
