At 1101 E 76th Ave, the Anchorage Elks Lodge #2868 has earned a 4.8-star reputation the old-fashioned way: by actually being glad you walked through the door. Travelers stopping in for the first time consistently leave surprised by how quickly the room feels familiar. That warmth isn't an accident. It's the result of members who genuinely enjoy each other's company and extend that same energy to every guest.

The lodge sits in south Anchorage, a practical and welcoming spot for both longtime locals and visitors passing through Alaska's largest city. Yes, drinks carry Alaska pricing, which the honest regulars will tell you upfront with a laugh. What you get in return is a lively room, cold pours, and conversation that ranges from the Iditarod to last weekend's fishing haul.

Beyond the bar and the camaraderie, Lodge #2868 is a working chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, meaning members are active in youth programs, veterans' support, and community giving across the Anchorage area. When you join or visit, you're stepping into something that has been quietly making this city better for decades.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar where members and eligible guests can unwind after a long Alaskan day. Expect a comfortable, no-pretense atmosphere with friendly bartenders and a crowd that's quick to make room at the table.

Lodge events run throughout the year, from dinners and holiday gatherings to community fundraisers that benefit local youth and veterans' organizations. The event calendar keeps the lodge active across every season, including the long Anchorage winters when a warm room full of good people is exactly what you need.

Membership in BPOE #2868 opens the door to reciprocal privileges at Elks Lodges across the country, making it a genuine asset for Alaskans who travel or for visitors who already hold an Elks card and want a reliable home-away-from-home in Anchorage.

"Nice group of folks, we're glad we stopped in. Drinks seemed a little steep, but we found out that's just one of the very few things wrong with Alaska. Alcohol is expensive in Alaska! Oh, thank-you Andy for the dog pin! We love our 6 legged polar bears too!"

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
