About Us

Exterior view of the Elks Lodge building.
Exterior view of the Elks Lodge building.

Walk through the doors at 306 W 4th St and something happens quickly. Reviewers say it best: you arrive not knowing a soul and leave feeling like you belong. That kind of atmosphere doesn't come from a decorating budget. It comes from decades of members who actually show up for each other, for Red Wing, and for the causes the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has championed since the Lodge was chartered.

The space itself earns its reputation. The bar pours cold and pours generous. The kitchen handles everything from casual gatherings to large-scale events without breaking a sweat. Yes, it can get lively on a busy night, and that energy is part of the draw. A quiet corner exists if you want it, but most people end up in the middle of the conversation.

With a 4.7-star rating across 65 reviews, the Lodge consistently delivers on what matters: a real place run by real people, right here in the Mississippi River town of Red Wing.

What We Offer

The Lodge at Red Wing Elks is built for gatherings of every size. Members and their guests pull up a stool at the bar on weeknights, catch up over a meal from the kitchen, and decompress the way small-town bars were meant to allow.

For events, the facility shines. Groups have hosted everything from informal get-togethers to large celebrations, and the staff knows how to make the logistics disappear so hosts can enjoy their own party. Private event rental is available, and the kitchen team can coordinate catering to match the occasion.

Beyond the social floor, membership connects you to the BPOE's national charitable programs supporting veterans, youth, and community needs, putting your dues to work well past last call.

The Order · Since 1868

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
