About Us

Ask anyone who has pulled off the road in Worthington, MN and stumbled into this lodge, and they will tell you the same thing: the people here make it. RV travelers crossing the country have rated it 4.4 stars not because of fancy decor, but because a bartender named Barb or a regular at the bar will pull you into the group like you have been coming for years.

The Elks Lodge on 2nd Avenue has been a fixture in this corner of southwestern Minnesota for decades, hosting bingo nights that draw families, serving burgers that out-of-state visitors specifically come back for, and keeping a bar where the conversation flows as freely as the drinks. It is the kind of place where a traveler from Nevada ends up leaving with a bracelet gifted by a stranger named Cindy.

This is a members-supported fraternal organization with real roots in the community, but the door is open to guests, RV overnight visitors, and anyone looking for a friendly table on a Tuesday night. The lodge supports charitable causes across the region while keeping alive the simple pleasure of showing up somewhere and being welcomed.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar and grill with a menu anchored by crowd-pleasing classics. The burgers have earned repeat customers from multiple states, and the kitchen keeps things simple and satisfying.

Bingo nights are a regular draw, bringing in locals and families for an evening of friendly competition. The lodge also hosts member events, community fundraisers, and private gatherings throughout the year. RV parking is available for overnight travelers passing through on I-90, making this a genuine rest stop with a social heartbeat rather than just a parking lot.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens access to the full calendar of events, member pricing at the bar, and the chance to participate in the lodge's ongoing charitable work serving veterans, youth programs, and the broader Worthington community.

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.
