About Us

On W Broadway Street in Bolivar, Lodge 2828 has been a fixture of Polk County life for decades. Members and guests keep coming back, and the reviews tell you why: the steak dinners are genuinely excellent, the crowd is friendly, and the parking is easy. A live band, a hot plate, and a check accepted at the door. That is a night done right.

The Elks are one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, but Lodge 2828 keeps things grounded in what actually matters to this community. Regular events draw a crowd of regulars who know each other by name, and newcomers find that warmth on their first visit. With a 4.7-star rating across 35 reviews, the members here are clearly doing something right.

Beyond the social calendar, Lodge 2828 supports veterans, funds scholarships, and invests in local youth programs. The fun nights out are the draw, but the charitable work is the reason this place has earned its place in Bolivar for generations.

What We Offer

Lodge 2828 runs a full calendar of events that give members and guests real reasons to get off the couch. The steak dinners are a community highlight, featuring quality food, live music, and the kind of easy conversation that comes from a room full of familiar faces. Past events have included gun shows, holiday gatherings, and fundraisers that benefit local causes.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens doors to a national network of over 850,000 members, local lodge privileges, and the satisfaction of contributing to something bigger. Locally, the lodge supports veteran services, youth scholarship programs, and community outreach throughout Polk County.

The facility hosts private events and lodge-sponsored functions throughout the year. Whether you are a longtime Elk or simply curious about what membership looks like, the doors at 1999 W Broadway are worth walking through.

"Gun show was very disappointing! The amount you had to pay to get in was not worth the 15 minutes it took to Walk around and see all the high prices. It's sad when you can go to local gun shop and get things cheaper"

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
