About Us

Pull into Kumle Lane on any given afternoon and you'll find something happening: a senior cooking class wrapping up, a pool tournament heating up, or a group of new members discovering the shuffleboard table for the first time. Elks Lodge 597 has earned its 4.8-star reputation the old-fashioned way, by giving Reno residents a real place to show up, connect, and contribute.

The lodge itself is genuinely beautiful, and first-time visitors say so consistently. The space is well-kept and welcoming, with a full bar, billiards, pinball machines, and a swimming pool that draws members through the summer months. But the room and the amenities are only part of the draw. What keeps people coming back, week after week, is the crowd: friendly, community-minded people who actually want to meet you.

Beyond the fun, Elks Lodge 597 channels serious energy into volunteering and local causes. Members organize events, coordinate charitable drives, and show up for Reno in ways that go well past the lodge walls. If you've been looking for a place where a good time and a good purpose share the same address, this is it.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a lineup that covers a lot of ground. The swimming pool is a warm-weather staple, and the game room keeps things lively year-round with pool tables, shuffleboard, and pinball. The full-service bar is a comfortable spot to unwind after a long week or catch up with fellow members over a cold drink.

Regular events give the calendar real personality. The senior cooking class has become a community favorite, pairing good food with good conversation in a relaxed, social setting. Beyond that, the lodge hosts a rotating schedule of gatherings, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities that make it easy to stay involved at whatever level fits your life.

Membership opens the door to all of it. Whether you're after a swim, a game of shuffleboard, a meaningful way to give back to Reno, or simply a reliable place to meet people worth knowing, Lodge 597 delivers on every count.

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
