At Elks Lodge 402 on Stein Blvd, you walk in as a stranger and leave with people who know your name. That's not a sales pitch, that's what members actually say. The bar staff greets you with conversation, not just a drink order, and the room fills with the kind of easy laughter that only happens when people genuinely like each other.

The lodge runs real community programming, including Veterans Day dinners that draw local vets and their families for a full meal and well-earned recognition. Events like baby showers, private parties, and fundraisers fill the calendar throughout the year, making this building one of the most actively used gathering spaces in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

With a 4.6-star rating across member and guest reviews, the reputation here is built on consistency. Good service, a welcoming crowd, and a bartender who actually listens. The Elks have been doing this work across America since 1868, and Lodge 402 carries that tradition forward every single week on the west side of Eau Claire.

What We Offer

Lodge 402 offers a full-service bar that pours everything from draft beers to mimosas, the kind of spot where you can settle in for a long evening or stop by for a quick drink after work. The bar is the social anchor of the building, and the staff makes sure it stays that way.

Private event hosting is a big part of what makes this lodge useful to the wider community. Baby showers, retirement parties, memorial gatherings, and organizational meetings all find a home here. The space is comfortable, the catering coordination is straightforward, and the bar service carries through for any occasion.

On the community service side, Lodge 402 organizes Veterans Day meals, charitable fundraisers, and Elks-sponsored youth programs that connect back to the national BPOE mission. Membership opens the door to all of it, from weekly social nights to volunteer opportunities that put real resources into the Eau Claire area.

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
