The Friday steak night is the anchor of the Lodge's dining calendar, drawing both members and their guests for hand-cut steaks cooked to order, paired with a loaded baked potato and the kind of no-frills presentation that lets the quality speak for itself. The bar is stocked and the atmosphere is easy, making it the right place to decompress after a long week on the water or in the field.
Beyond the dining room, the Lodge hosts member events, charitable fundraisers, and community gatherings that tie directly into the Elks' national mission of supporting veterans, funding scholarships, and serving local families in need. Members gain access to the clubhouse facilities, participate in lodge activities year-round, and connect with a brotherhood that extends well beyond Petersburg.
Guests are welcome to dine with a member, and those interested in joining can reach out through the national Elks.org website to begin the membership process. Whether you're a lifelong Elk or someone who just heard about the steak from a deckhand at the harbor, the door on 1st Street is the right place to start.
