About Us

A gathering outside the ELKS Lodge with motorcycles and tents.

Visiting Elks from across the country have walked through the doors at Lodge 594 and left with the same impression: this place actually delivers. The building is spacious, the bar is well-stocked, and the pool table and shuffleboard get real use. That kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the members here take the lodge seriously.

What sets this Columbia chapter apart is its role as the Missouri state archives for the Elks, a distinction that few lodges in the state can claim. Beyond the records, the lodge runs an open smoking patio, hosts community fundraisers, and keeps a calendar full of social events that give members a reason to show up week after week.

New members consistently say the same thing: they felt at home from day one. That's the real product here, not just a bar or a banquet room, but a community of people who actually want to know your name. At 4747 E Elk Park Drive, Lodge 594 has become one of Columbia's most active fraternal organizations, rated 4.5 stars across nearly 100 reviews.

What We Offer

Lodge 594 offers its members a full social hub anchored by a spacious bar area with pool and shuffleboard, private event spaces for gatherings of all sizes, and an outdoor smoking patio that keeps the atmosphere relaxed and inclusive.

The lodge hosts regular charitable giving drives, community events open to members and their guests, and social nights that rotate throughout the year. As the Missouri state Elks archives, the Columbia lodge also serves a unique historical function within the statewide organization, making it a destination for Elks members traveling through mid-Missouri.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks unlocks reciprocal access to lodges nationwide, meaning your card from Lodge 594 gets you welcomed at Elks clubs from coast to coast. Whether you're looking for a reliable spot to unwind after work or a meaningful organization to invest your time in, the lodge delivers on both counts.

"Really neat lodge! As a visiting elk, like most lodges was welcomed and treated well. This lodge has quite a bit of space to it and a great bar area that includes a pool table and a couple shuffle board tables. They also have a nice smokers lounge right outside the full wrap around bar. Definitely a great lodge to visit especially if your a visiting elk dropping your kids off for college #9"

"Lodge does not disappoint ♥️ newer building with open smoking patio (for those who do smoke.) Very friendly and they are the Missouri state archives which was additionally cool 🔥 If you are a member with an RV, they have a Big, open lot all the way around-50a at four different light poles. Think it was $20"

"I recently became a member of this wonderful organization everyone made me feel welcome. The Elks Lodge brings neighbors together for community events, charitable giving and has social events. We gather as neighbors, families, & individuals to connect to give back to our community and our veterans. Though other programs they support children or those in need. They foster patriotism and fellowship amongst their members. This past Saturday I volunteer with the Elks at CLC assisting living at Truman VA hospital for a charitable game event for the veterans. I was assigned to assist a visually handicap person this was perfect for me as I am a Retired RN but I had been an Acute Eye Charge Nurse for over 9.5 years for a big hospital in PA. This brought back excellent memories working with fifteen eye specialists and my patients back then but now volunteering one on one with someone that needs my help what great satisfaction that gives you! I will continue to help this event every month at CLC. If you like helping others or giving back or just meeting your neighbors to be part of organization that is always helping others reach out to Elks Lodge meet with Nancy membership chair she can provide you more information on this wonderful organization. 7/29/25@2135CST Ellen H."

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
