About Us

Night view of the Elks Lodge exterior with distant lights.

Thursday at 5:30 PM, the doors swing open and Aberdeen starts to exhale. The Elks Lodge on Circle Drive runs Social Suppers twice a week, open to the public, pairing a hot meal with live entertainment that turns a weeknight into something worth circling on the calendar. Locals call it their Friday live music headquarters, and that reputation is earned one packed room at a time.

The lodge has hosted everything from wedding receptions to baby showers, and the common thread in every review is the same: good vibes. There is a warmth here that rented event halls simply cannot manufacture. Members, guests, and first-timers end up at the same tables, swapping stories over drinks while a band sets up in the corner.

Beyond the social calendar, the Elks Lodge is a fraternal organization with deep roots in charitable giving and community service across South Dakota. Every dollar spent at the bar or the supper table circles back into local programs, youth scholarships, and veterans support. Hanging out here is, quietly, doing some good.

What We Offer

The public Thursday and Friday Social Suppers are the heartbeat of the lodge's weekly schedule. Doors open at 5:30 PM, dinner is served, and live entertainment follows. No membership card required to pull up a chair.

The lodge also books private events including wedding receptions, baby showers, milestone birthdays, and organizational banquets. The space accommodates larger gatherings with a full bar, a stage area for performers, and a staff that knows how to run an event without drama. Members enjoy additional access to lodge programming, the lounge, and a calendar of fraternal activities tied to the B.P.O. Elks national mission.

For prospective members, initiation into the lodge connects you to a nationwide network of over 800,000 Elks, local charitable committees, and a social calendar that keeps Aberdeen's community calendar full year-round.

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
