"We had the pleasure of visiting the Astoria Elks Lodge tonight along with members from over 20 other lodges, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The Astoria Lodge members were incredibly gracious hosts — welcoming, organized, and full of genuine Elks spirit. Their building is absolutely beautiful, rich with history and character, and their Lodge room provided the perfect setting for us to hold our meeting. It’s a place that perfectly embodies the pride and tradition of Elkdom. Highly recommend visiting if you ever get the chance!"

"Went to the Elks Lodge to play bingo. Very nice group of people. Dinner (pizza & salad ) was very affordable. They coached me through how to play the different games. Not a very large crowd, but it was a lot of fun. As a non-member, I was hoping for a li5more interaction with the regulars, but maybe that will happen on my next visit."
