About Us

Nestled at 215 3rd St in the frosty heart of International Falls, MN – the 'Icebox of the Nation' – our Elks Lodge is more than a meeting hall; it's the beating heart of our tight-knit community. Picture this: snowflakes dancing outside while inside, the air hums with laughter, the sizzle of Thanksgiving feasts, and the clink of cold beverages poured for good friends. We're the real-life 'Cheers' of the north, where everyone knows your name – or quickly will.

Founded on the timeless Elks principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity, our lodge has been a pillar of International Falls for decades. From hosting epic holiday dinners that draw crowds for miles to organizing fundraisers that keep our town strong, we're the go-to spot for connection in a world that's too often isolated. Our 4.6-star rating from 32 glowing reviews says it all: 'Amazing meals,' 'great people,' and 'a fun place to stop.' Whether you're a lifelong member, a curious visitor, or someone seeking belonging amid Minnesota's endless winters, step through our doors and feel the warmth of true camaraderie. Here, we're family – raising glasses to tomorrow while honoring our patriotic roots.

What We Offer

Step into a world of belonging at our Elks Lodge, where every visit delivers unbeatable value and heart. Savor our legendary Thanksgiving feasts and weekly dinners featuring homestyle comfort food that warms you from the inside out – think juicy turkey, hearty sides, and desserts that'll make you forget the subzero temps outside. Quench your thirst with ice-cold beers, signature cocktails, and non-alcoholic refreshers served in our lively bar, the perfect unwind after a day on Rainy Lake or the ice.
