About Us

Beartooth Elks Lodge 534 has been a fixture on Broadway Avenue in Red Lodge long enough to outlast several generations of Beartooth Highway winters. The lodge sits at the base of one of Montana's most dramatic mountain corridors, and the people who call it home reflect that same rugged, no-nonsense character. With a 4.6-star rating built on real member and guest experiences, the vibe here is straightforward: show up, shake hands, and pitch in.

Families who have walked through the doors for private events consistently mention the attentive staff and a genuine warmth that is hard to fake. The bar is a gathering point where locals trade stories after a long shift or a longer hike. Yes, the beer is priced a bit higher than a gas-station six-pack, but you are paying for a room full of neighbors, not a parking lot.

The Elks Order was chartered in 1868 with a core promise to care for veterans, support youth programs, and strengthen local communities. Lodge 534 carries that mission into Red Lodge through scholarships, holiday food drives, and civic events that put real dollars and volunteer hours back into Carbon County.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar and lounge open to members and their guests, making it the go-to spot for a relaxed evening without driving 60 miles to Billings. Private event rentals are available for family gatherings, milestone celebrations, and club meetings, with a staff that guests describe as professional and genuinely accommodating.

Beyond the social side, Lodge 534 runs active charitable programs tied to the national Elks mission. These include youth scholarship awards, veterans assistance initiatives, and seasonal community drives that benefit Red Lodge families directly. Members gain access to a national network of over 1,800 lodges, meaning your card travels with you wherever you go.

Membership is open to American citizens 21 and older who believe in the principles of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. Prospective members can reach out through elks.org or stop by the lodge on Broadway to learn more about joining one of Montana's most active civic organizations.

"They sure talk a lot about being there for their community, but it pretty much stops there. The people running it, especially the "Exalted Ruler" Wareen Wall, seem to only care about the older straight white community. The things these people spout about the LGBT community, anyone who isn't Christian or white, and really any "Others" in or out of their community disgusts me, and does not seem fitting for a community-focused non-profit organization."

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
