About Us

Since its charter, Burien Elks Lodge #2143 has been the kind of place where you actually know the person sitting next to you at the bar. Regulars will tell you the drinks are priced like it's still 1985, the food is genuinely good, and on New Year's Eve the whole room comes alive in a way that a typical restaurant simply can't match. The lodge sits at 14006 1st Ave S, easy to find and easier to love once you walk through the door.

The hall itself has real bones: a sound system and meeting room setup that handles everything from civic presentations to large celebrations, with seating arrangements that actually work for a crowd. Traveling visitors have discovered it too, with a small RV parking area behind the lodge that draws touring guests who end up staying longer than planned once they find the kitchen.

This is a working lodge, not a museum piece. Members show up, volunteer, raise money for local scholarships, and look out for veterans in the community. The Elks creed puts charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity at the center of everything, and at Lodge #2143 those aren't words on a wall. They show up in the Tuesday night dinners, the holiday events, and the handshake you get when you walk in for the first time.

What We Offer

The lodge runs a full bar and kitchen open to members and their guests, with comfort-food staples that reviewers keep coming back to describe as genuinely satisfying. Prices are kept low on purpose: this is a members' club, not a profit center, and that philosophy shows up in every tab at the end of the night.

Event hosting is a serious capability here. The main hall accommodates large groups with a quality mic and sound system, flexible seating, and a staff that knows how to run a room. Birthdays, memorials, retirement parties, union meetings, and community fundraisers all find a home in the space. The lodge also maintains RV hookups for traveling Elks members, a rare amenity that makes it a genuine stop on the Pacific Northwest touring circuit.

Beyond the building, Lodge #2143 channels member energy into scholarship programs, veteran support initiatives, and local charitable giving coordinated through the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks national network. Joining means access to all of it, plus reciprocal privileges at Elks lodges across the country.

"We went there for New Year's Eve, and it was a lot of fun. A great place to gather with friends. Drinks were cheap and the food was good. Only problem was that it was really cold! I think their heating system was busted or something, because they had little space heaters all around the bar, which didn't really keep us warm. We had to drink hot water to stay warm (no other hot drinks were available). Lovely, capable service and I think my friends all had a blast."

"Stayed here 3 nights while touring Seattle museums. They have about 5 spots and the lodge and other RVers we met there were very welcoming. They have an awesome cook/restaurant that we visited more than once! The potato skins were the best I ever had! Thank you for the hospitality!"

"We felt so lucky to find a space here! There are only 7 full size spaces plus one for something small like a pop up. 30 amp, water and sewer. No shower house, laundry, etc, its not an rv park. Walking distance to grocery store, gas station, car rental, and a couple places to eat. (And a nail salon! 😉) First come first served. Felt very safe. A little airport noise, but you're in the city after all. $25 a night. Oh also, in case you've never been, it's a parking lot with RV spaces. Much roomier than Trailer Inns, where we stayed 1 night and were packed in like sardines."

"I am not a member of the Burien Elks Club, but the home group of my Al-anon meetings, (we rent space to meet there.) I always am impressed at how clean the bathrooms are, and everything is ready, when our Al-anon group arrives on a weekly basis. The staff I have meet with have always been pleasant and friendly.👍 Thumbs up for the Burien Elks Club."

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
