About Us

The Tempe Elks Lodge #2251 sits at 2320 S Hardy Dr with well-kept grounds that regulars genuinely brag about. Pull up with a trailer and camp host Diane will guide you right in, cheerful from the first phone call to the moment you're parked and settled. That kind of personal attention is not a policy here, it's just how members treat people.

Inside, the lodge is clean, comfortable, and built for real gatherings. The hall can seat up to 120 guests around round tables, making it one of the more practical event venues in Tempe, AZ at a price that won't send you searching for alternatives. Quinceañeras, banquets, and civic nights all happen here without the venue markup you'd find elsewhere.

And then there's the Angus burger. Ask anyone who has eaten here and they will tell you: it earns its reputation. The lodge carries a 4.6-star rating across nearly 140 reviews, and the friendliness of the membership is mentioned almost as often as the food. This is a place where strangers become regulars fast.

What We Offer

Lodge membership opens the door to a full calendar of social events, charitable initiatives, and the kind of camaraderie that the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has built since 1868. Members gather for dinners, community service projects, and weekly activities that keep the schedule full year-round.

The event hall is available to non-members for private rentals, fitting up to 120 guests for quinceañeras, birthday celebrations, corporate meetings, and community fundraisers. Pricing runs competitive compared to most Tempe banquet halls, and the on-site kitchen supports catered meals so you're not coordinating outside vendors for every event.

RV and trailer parking on the lodge grounds adds a dimension most fraternal clubs can't offer. Whether you're passing through the Valley of the Sun or staying for an extended visit, the grounds are clean, well-maintained, and staffed by people who actually want you to have a good experience.

"I went to a Quince here it was nice. I heard its not as expensive as most halls. You don't need membership. I estimated it could fit 14 round tables with 8 chairs each, a max of 120 people. The hall books quickly so reserve ahead of time."

"Seems like a pretty good place for an RV to hang out in the back of the shop. There's quite a few RVs there and from outside it doesn't look very inviting but once you get in there there's a nice little green area and almost like a park that is really cool to hang out."

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
