A man and an elderly woman pose together in a welcoming setting.

Walk through the doors of Elks Lodge #569 on South Jefferson Avenue and you'll understand immediately why members keep coming back. Reviewers call it family, and that word gets used so often it has to mean something. The bartenders here are the kind of people who remember your order, ask about your week, and make a Tuesday feel like a Friday.

The lodge sits right in Iola, Kansas, a small city where showing up for your neighbors isn't a slogan, it's a habit. Lodge #569 carries that spirit in everything it does, from the lunch specials that draw a steady midday crowd to the big-screen setup where members settle in to watch the game. The space is clean, well-kept, and comfortable, the sort of place you'd bring your dad or your best friend without a second thought.

With a 4.5-star rating across dozens of reviews, the reputation here is earned one visit at a time. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has deep roots in American civic life, and Lodge #569 keeps that tradition alive by being genuinely useful to the people of Allen County.

What We Offer

Elks Lodge #569 offers members a full-service bar staffed by bartenders who've earned real praise for their skill and personality. Stop in for a cold drink after work, or settle in for the afternoon when there's a game on. The comfortable lounge is a genuine gathering spot, not just a room with chairs.

Lunch specials bring members and guests in through the midweek, giving the lodge a rhythm that goes beyond weekend events. The kitchen keeps things simple and satisfying, the kind of food that hits right when you need a break from the day.

Beyond the bar and dining, Lodge #569 connects members to the broader Elks national network, charitable programs, and local community initiatives. Whether you're a longtime member or exploring membership for the first time, the lodge offers a social home with real substance behind it.

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
