About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

Pull up a stool at Elks Lodge #1797 on South Elm Street and you'll understand pretty quickly why this place carries a 4.9-star rating. The bartenders move fast, the members know your name, and someone at the end of the bar is probably already talking about the next fundraiser for a neighbor in need. This is the kind of place that earns loyalty because it actually does the work.

Every fall, the lodge fires up one of the most anticipated meals on the Lusk, Wyoming calendar: the opening-day-of-hunting-season dinner. Hunters rolling through on the main highway have made it a tradition, and for good reason. The food is real, the company is better, and the facilities are kept clean and welcoming year-round.

The officers and leadership here aren't figureheads. They're the people organizing coat drives, writing checks for community causes, and making sure Lodge #1797 punches well above its weight for a town this size. If you've been thinking about joining, more than a few visitors have walked in as strangers and walked out filling out a membership application.

What We Offer

The lodge hosts community dinners throughout the year, with the pre-hunting-season meal standing out as a signature event that draws locals and travelers alike. Beyond the table, members organize fundraisers that put real money back into Lusk families who need it, from holiday assistance to emergency support.

The bar and lounge is open to members and guests, stocked and staffed by bartenders who take their craft seriously. It's the go-to spot to catch a game, share a round after a long day, or just decompress with people who actually want to talk. Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks also connects you to a national network of lodges, scholarships, and veteran support programs that extend well beyond Wyoming.

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
