The lodge offers a full-service members bar stocked with cold beer, spirits, and cocktails at prices that won't make you wince. Food service rotates, so check with the lodge for current kitchen nights, but when the kitchen is open, the food earns its own compliments in the guest book.
Lodge events run throughout the year, from holiday parties and fundraising dinners to charitable drives that funnel money back into the local Trinidad community. Members also gain reciprocal access to Elks lodges across the country, meaning your card works anywhere from Pueblo to Portland.
Membership is open to U.S. citizens who believe in the core values of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity. The application process is straightforward, and current members are happy to walk you through it over a drink at the bar.
