About Us

Exterior view of the Elks Lodge building.

Pull up a stool at Elks Lodge #246 and you'll quickly understand why travelers from Idaho stop in and end up staying for a reunion afternoon. The bar at 130 S 2nd Street has that rare quality: a bartender who actually knows what they're doing, a room that feels lived-in without feeling tired, and a crowd that treats strangers like they've been coming in for years.

The BPOE has been one of America's oldest fraternal organizations since 1868, and Lodge #246 carries that tradition forward right here in Livingston, Montana. Members gather for initiations, charitable drives, community events, and the kind of easy conversation that's harder to find than it should be. A 4.5-star rating from real visitors backs up what regulars already know.

This isn't a place you stumble into by accident and forget. It's the kind of spot that ends up in your story, the way Jessica's first shift behind the bar ended up in a stranger's review from Idaho.

What We Offer

Lodge #246 offers a full-service bar with experienced staff, a welcoming lounge for members and visiting Elks, and a calendar of fraternal events that keeps the community tight. Whether you're a card-carrying Elk from out of state or a local looking to join, the doors on S 2nd Street are open.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks comes with reciprocal access to lodges across the country, making it a genuine asset for travelers. Local programming includes initiations for new members, charitable fundraisers benefiting Livingston-area families, and social gatherings that draw folks from across Park County.

Visiting Elks are always welcome to stop in, show their card, and enjoy the atmosphere. Check the national directory at elks.org or call ahead to confirm hours and upcoming events.

"We are from Idaho and traveled to Livingston. We joined into 1969 class reunion on the afternoon of the 23 of Aug. This was Jessica's first shift! Jessica was working with Kim who I initially spoke to on the phone! Both were so....friendly and efficient with a large crowd! They both shared suggestions for our visit in town. Thanks for the hospitality! ."

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
