Spokane Elks Lodge #228 has been a fixture on East Mission Avenue for generations, and walking through the doors feels like stepping into a place that actually means something. This isn't a rented banquet hall or a generic event space. It's a lodge built by members, run by members, and kept alive by the kind of loyalty that shows up when someone loses a brother and needs a room full of people who already knew him.

The reviews tell the story plainly. Families choose Lodge 228 for celebrations of life because the community shows up, literally, with familiar faces filling the seats alongside grieving relatives. That kind of belonging is what the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was built on, and Lodge 228 carries it forward in Spokane Valley every week.

Beyond the brotherhood, there's a dining room worth talking about. The kitchen turns out a porterhouse that regulars will flat-out brag about, which is not something most lodge dining rooms earn. Whether you're a longtime member or a guest of one, the food and the atmosphere together make a strong case for coming back.

What We Offer

Lodge 228 serves members and their guests across several pillars. The dining room is open Tuesday through Saturday starting at 3 p.m., offering a full menu anchored by steakhouse-quality cuts, with the porterhouse drawing the most repeat orders. It's a proper sit-down experience, not a cafeteria line.

The event spaces at Lodge 228 are suited for milestone gatherings: celebrations of life, milestone birthdays, retirement parties, and member banquets. The combination of an established kitchen, a built-in community of Elks members, and a comfortable venue makes it a practical and meaningful choice for events that matter.

Membership in the BPOE also unlocks access to the national network of Elks lodges across the country, charitable programs, youth initiatives, and veterans support efforts that Lodge 228 actively participates in throughout the Spokane Valley region.

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
