About Us

The bar at Elks Lodge 354 on Ludington Street has a reputation that gets around: the bartenders here actually know what they're doing. Guests consistently rave about the cocktails, and the friendly regulars who pull up a stool next to you make it feel less like a club and more like a living room with a liquor license.

The Lodge hosts events that draw the whole Escanaba community, from Players de Noc theater nights to the kind of fish fry that earns a standing ovation. That 4.8-star rating across 33 reviews isn't an accident. It reflects a place that takes hospitality seriously without taking itself too seriously.

Founded as part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 354 has been a cornerstone of the Upper Peninsula's social fabric for generations. Membership opens the door to a national network of over 2,000 lodges, charitable giving, and local programs that put real money back into the Escanaba community.

What We Offer

The Lodge runs a full bar where the drinks are mixed with care and the atmosphere is genuinely warm. Friday fish fry nights pack the room for good reason: the food is fresh, the service is attentive, and the price is right for a sit-down meal in the U.P.

Beyond the bar and dining, Lodge 354 offers a bowling facility, event space for private gatherings, and a calendar of member activities throughout the year. Guests of members are always welcome, and the path to full membership is straightforward for those who want to make it a regular home base.

The Lodge also anchors community giving across Escanaba, supporting youth programs, veterans' causes, and local scholarships through the national Elks charitable framework. When you spend an evening here, you're contributing to something bigger than just a great night 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
