About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

On Jones Street in Eveleth, Minnesota, Lodge 1161 has been a gathering place for Iron Range families long before bingo nights became a local tradition. Members come for the cards and stay for the company, and regulars know the rhythm of this place, the corner seats, the familiar faces, and the satisfaction of a well-run evening.

The lodge hall is genuinely spacious, which is why families trust it for milestone celebrations. Grad parties, reunions, and civic dinners fill the room with ease, and the staff earns consistent praise for being helpful and accommodating when it counts. With a rating of 4.6 out of 5, the members and guests of Lodge 1161 are clearly doing something right.

Elks Lodge 1161 is part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, with a mission rooted in charity, justice, and loyalty. On the Iron Range, that mission shows up in scholarship programs, veterans support, and a bar stool that's always open to a neighbor who needs one.

What We Offer

Bingo nights draw a loyal crowd week after week, with a lively atmosphere and a bartender or two keeping the drinks moving. The hall is available for private events including graduation parties, receptions, and organizational meetings, with room enough to seat a serious crowd and space for kids to move around freely.

Membership in the Elks opens access to the lodge facilities, social events, and a national network of charitable programs. Lodge 1161 actively supports local scholarships and veterans initiatives, so dues go further than a bar tab. An elevator serves guests who need it, making the hall accessible without the climb up the stairs that a few visitors have noted with a grin.

Visit elks.org or stop by 415 Jones Street to learn about joining, renting the hall, or catching the next bingo night on the calendar.

"I love playing bingo at this place I’ve been going for a while now and the one older bartender will not serve me and if she do she waits and waits even if no one else is standing there waiting. The first time it happened another person had got me water because I stood next to them for so long it even bothered them because they seen how I was being treated well Friday was my last day for awhile until I find out when the other bartender will be there I’m black the only black person to attend bingo and she makes it clear she don’t want me there so thanks to the lodge but I can’t any more I left Friday in tears because it happens every time she’s there Ive had enough it’s no secret I’m the only black bingo player at all the towns bingo nights and I just wanna be treat with respect"

"The Elks Lodge is a place you can test your heart with their stairs. They have a elevator but if you let go of the button. You will be stuck between floors. They could have a call box in it that when used to call the bartender. Then they will help you out. The elevator is nice for a handicap and wheelchair people. Thank you for that."

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.
