Valdez Elks Lodge: Brotherhood, Steaks & Alaskan Spirit

Join friendly Elks in Valdez for epic Friday steak nights, community events and heartfelt hospitality at the edge of Alaska's wild frontier.

About Us

Nestled at 339 Fairbanks Dr in the rugged heart of Valdez, Alaska, our Elks Lodge #2537 isn't just a building—it's the beating pulse of community spirit where the mountains meet the sea. Since planting roots in this fishing and adventure hub, we've been the go-to spot for locals and traveling Elks alike, serving up more than just perfectly grilled ribeyes (though our chef's medium-rare mastery has earned rave reviews). We're talking bone-deep brotherhood, patriotic pride, and events that turn strangers into lifelong friends.

Picture this: crisp Alaskan air, laughter echoing off glacier-carved walls, and a Friday night steak special so legendary it's open to the public through summer. Rated 4.3 stars from 26 glowing reviews, folks rave about our hospitality—'one of the best times as a traveling Elk' and 'great folks doing great things.' From charity drives supporting veterans to casual gatherings with ice-cold brews, we embody the Elks' mission: improving lives through community service. Whether you're a member seeking that fraternal bond or a visitor craving authentic Alaskan warmth, step through our doors for stories, steaks, and the kind of welcome that sticks with you long after the ferry sails.
