About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

On a Friday evening at 27 E Center St, you might walk in to find fiddle music bouncing off the high ceilings, a bartender who already knows what you're having, and a benefit auction raising money for a neighbor in need. That's the Dillon Elks Lodge on a typical night, and it's been that way for generations.

The hall itself is something locals genuinely brag about. Reviewers call out the acoustics specifically, and the Old Time Fiddlers have made it a regular stop precisely because the room sounds right. It seats a crowd, hosts a dinner, and still feels like somebody's living room. The staff, bartenders like the now-legendary Linda, treat every guest like a regular from the first handshake.

With a 4.6-star rating across dozens of reviews, this lodge earns its reputation through consistency: discount pricing for veterans, a kitchen that shows up for community events, and a door that's open to anyone who wants to be part of something bigger than themselves in Dillon, Montana.

What We Offer

The Lodge hosts a rotating calendar of events that keeps the community coming back. Live music nights, including the popular Old Time Fiddlers sessions, fill the hall with energy and draw listeners from across Beaverhead County. Benefit auctions and fundraising dinners give members a direct way to support neighbors facing hardship.

The bar is fully stocked and staffed by people who take hospitality seriously. Veterans receive discount pricing as a standing policy, a concrete thank-you rather than a bumper sticker sentiment. Private event rentals make the hall available for family gatherings, memorials, and celebrations that need a real room with real character.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks connects Dillon residents to a national network of community service, scholarship programs, and veteran support, while keeping the focus local. Stop by, pull up a stool, and find out what 33 reviewers already know.

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.
