Boy Scouts participating in an event outside VFW Post 8627.

On Hampshire Lane in Richardson, VFW Post 8627 has built something that most bars only dream about: a room full of people who genuinely like each other. Veterans, active-duty members, and their families come through these doors and find a place where the stories are real, the prices are fair, and the bartenders actually know your name.

The atmosphere is laid-back by design. Nobody here is trying to impress anyone. The Sunday Brunch, held on the last weekend of every month, has earned a reputation as one of the best deals in the area, drawing regulars who plan their calendar around it. The drinks are priced the way they should be, and the quality backs it up.

With a 4.5-star rating built on 42 honest reviews, the post speaks for itself. Staff consistently earn praise for being genuinely friendly, and the veteran members bring a sense of camaraderie that no corporate bar can manufacture. This is a community asset, and Richardson knows it.

What We Offer

Post 8627 keeps its offerings straightforward and worth coming back for. The full-service bar stocks a solid selection of beer, spirits, and mixed drinks at prices that will make you question why you ever paid downtown rates. Membership keeps the overhead low and the value high.

The monthly Sunday Brunch on the last weekend of each month is the signature event, drawing crowds for good food and even better company. Beyond brunch, the post regularly hosts member gatherings, community fundraisers, and events that support veterans and their families across the Richardson, TX area.

Eligible members gain access to a welcoming space to watch games, catch up with fellow vets, or simply decompress in a room that understands what service means. The post also connects members to VFW national resources, including veteran benefits assistance, advocacy programs, and support services.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
