Pull up a stool at Lodge #536 and you'll quickly understand why travelers driving Route 66 from California to Chicago make this a deliberate stop, not an afterthought. The building itself earns the detour. Members have described the lodge room as genuinely beautiful, and the bartenders here don't just pour drinks, they give full walking tours of a structure that has been standing for roughly 100 years in the middle of Winslow, Arizona.

The reviews tell the real story: a bartender named Birdie greeted first-timers like old friends, sharing local history and Winslow lore that no travel app can replicate. Drone footage from visiting Elks members has captured the roofline and courtyard from above, and even at altitude the place commands attention. This is a lodge that photographs well because it was built to last, not to impress for a season.

Lodge #536 carries the full Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks mission, supporting veterans, youth programs, and the Winslow community year-round. But the warmth here goes beyond official charity. It lives in the unscripted moments, a tour offered without being asked, a round of history served alongside your drink, and a room full of members who still mean it when they say the Order cares about its community.

What We Offer

Lodge #536 runs a full-service bar where the atmosphere is as much the draw as the drink. Whether you're a traveling Elk presenting your membership card or a local coming in for the first time, the bar is the natural gathering point, and the staff behind it consistently turn strangers into regulars within a single visit.

Beyond the bar, the lodge hosts community events, private gatherings, and member meetings in a historic hall that doubles as one of Winslow's most distinctive interior spaces. The building's age and character make it a sought-after venue for anyone who wants something with real weight to it, not a rented banquet room with drop ceilings.

Active Elks members gain access to the full range of BPOE programs, including scholarship opportunities, veterans outreach, and youth activities coordinated through the national organization. Visiting Elks from other lodges are welcomed with the same hospitality that has earned this lodge a 4.4-star rating across nearly 50 independent reviews.

"Route 66 We've been traveling route 66 from Cali to Chicago. Starting with the Winslow AZ lodge (lodge 536) I've been taking some drone shots to show off some of our beautiful lodges and show the RV parking at each. The rv parking was a bit confusing at first, there is a power pole in the center of the lot, find your best parking around the pole and plug in. 1 50 AMP 2 30s. No water or dump. The bar was open, delightful hostess. Just down the street is the standing on the corner photo op. Lots of RT 66 sights in this little town."

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
