About Us

Montrose Elks Lodge #1053 building with mountain backdrop.
Montrose Elks Lodge #1053 building with mountain backdrop.

At 801 S Hillcrest Drive, the Montrose Elks Lodge #1053 has been one of the most reliably welcoming spots on the Western Slope for decades. Ask anyone who's stopped in after 5 p.m. and they'll tell you the same thing: the bar is cold, the happy hour is real, and the people are genuinely glad you walked through the door. Visiting groups have hosted multi-day meetings here and left with stories about the staff, the shade trees out back, and the corners of Montrose they never would have found otherwise.

The Lodge is more than a gathering hall. Members and guests have praised the Healthcare Equipment Lending Program, which provides used wheelchairs, shower chairs, and mobility aids to community members who need them, free of charge. That kind of practical, no-fuss generosity is exactly what the Elks are built on, and Lodge #1053 delivers it with zero fanfare. There's also a ball field on the property and RV parking for traveling Elks members passing through Colorado.

What We Offer

The Lodge runs a full-service bar with daily happy hour starting at 5 p.m., making it a natural end-of-day destination for members, guests, and anyone attending an event on the grounds. The atmosphere is relaxed and social without being loud or pretentious.

Beyond the bar, Lodge #1053 offers event space for group meetings, private gatherings, and community functions. The Healthcare Equipment Lending Program connects Montrose residents with donated mobility aids at no cost. RV hookups accommodate traveling Elks members, and the shaded outdoor grounds with a ball field make the property a genuine multi-use facility. Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks brings access to all of it, plus a national network of lodges and a legacy of charitable work that stretches back over 150 years.

"Montrose Colorado Elks I hosted a group there for four days and we really enjoyed the bar and happy hour after our 5pm meetings the people were very nice and we got to see some of the area we hadn't seen before Golf Course directly across the street is convenient if you like that and also just a block away is the historic 1949 Star Drive-In Theater with shows normally Friday and Sunday sometimes live entertainment or a concert Saturday I believe it's $6.50 for seniors Very scenic drives all around the area not the least of which is the scenic mining town of Ouray also only 20 minutes away is the Black Canyon of the Colorado a deep Canyon with multiple Scenic pull outs and short hikes"

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
