About Us

People gathered outside the Soldotna Elks Lodge on a sunny day.
People gathered outside the Soldotna Elks Lodge on a sunny day.

Ask anyone who's fished the Kenai River what they did after reeling in a Coho, and a good number will tell you the same thing: they ended up at the Soldotna Elks Lodge for a backyard barbecue that lasted well into the evening. That's not an accident. This lodge has built its reputation on exactly that kind of day, the kind where strangers become regulars and regulars become family.

The Soldotna Elks Lodge #2706 holds a 4.8-star rating across 32 reviews, and the words that come up again and again are simple: great people, great food, good bar. The space is large enough to host community events, fundraisers, and the lodge's signature Take a Veteran Fishing Day on the Kenai, yet it still feels like somewhere you actually want to hang around after the event ends.

Soldotna sits at the center of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, surrounded by mountains, salmon runs, and a community that takes care of its own. The Elks have been part of that fabric for decades, sponsoring local causes, supporting veterans, and keeping the lights on for anyone who walks through the door carrying an Elks card.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full bar with a relaxed, social atmosphere that draws members after a long day on the water or the job site. The kitchen turns out solid, satisfying food, from casual bites to the kind of post-fishing barbecue spread that becomes the highlight of someone's entire Alaska trip.

Beyond the bar and dining room, the large event space accommodates banquets, charity fundraisers, and member gatherings of every size. Community programs like the annual Veteran Fishing Day are organized here, connecting sponsors, volunteers, and honored guests in a way that few other venues in the Soldotna area can match.

Membership with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens the door to this lodge and to hundreds of others across the country, making it a genuine home-away-from-home for traveling members. Whether you're a local dues-paying member or visiting from the lower 48, stopping in is always worth the detour.

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
