About Us

Classic cars parked outside the Walnut Creek Elks Lodge.

Lodge #1811 sits on Creekside Drive in Walnut Creek, and the moment you walk through the door you understand why members have been showing up here for decades. The banquet hall fills with the kind of noise that only comes from people who actually like each other. Milestone anniversaries, dedication ceremonies honoring members like Studly, graduation parties, and Friday night dinners all happen under this roof, hosted by a crew that knows how to throw a proper celebration.

The lodge earns its 4.6-star reputation the old-fashioned way: friendly faces at the bar, food that people actually talk about afterward, and a membership that treats guests like they already belong. Families traveling through to drop grandkids at UC Berkeley have found a comfortable, affordable place to stay. Friend groups have been meeting here for years without any intention of stopping.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has a national footprint, but Lodge #1811 has a distinctly local one. Members volunteer in Contra Costa County, fund scholarships for local students, and keep the kind of community infrastructure alive that most towns quietly miss when it disappears.

What We Offer

Lodge #1811 offers a full banquet facility available for private events, from milestone birthday parties and anniversary dinners to retirement celebrations and corporate gatherings. The kitchen turns out meals that guests remember, not catered-tray forgettable fare. The bar is well-stocked, the staff knows regulars by name, and the room can be arranged to suit your headcount.

Membership opens up a broader world: access to the clubhouse and dining room, participation in Elks National Foundation programs, scholarship opportunities for dependents, and a social calendar that keeps the calendar full year-round. The lodge also maintains overnight accommodations, a practical and welcoming option for families visiting the East Bay who want something more personal than a chain hotel.

Community service runs through everything here. Members support youth programs, veterans initiatives, and local charitable causes through the BPOE's structured giving programs, making membership a way to do genuine good while building real friendships.

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
