Lodge 701 has been the social heartbeat of La Junta, Colorado for generations. On any given evening, you'll find lifetime members trading stories at the bar, families showing up for a Friday night out, and veterans who know this place has always had their back. The 4.8-star rating from members and guests alike says something simple: people feel at home here.

The Elks aren't just a club, they're a cause. Lodge 701 channels its energy into veteran and community charitable programs that put real dollars and real volunteer hours back into the Arkansas Valley. When you raise a glass here, you're part of something that reaches well beyond the four walls of this building on Colorado Avenue.

And yes, the drink prices are genuinely the best in town. That's not marketing copy, that's what members say every single time.

What We Offer

Progressive Bingo on Friday nights is the event locals talk about most. Grab a card, grab a drink at a price that won't make you wince, and settle in for an evening where the jackpot builds and the conversation flows freely.

Beyond bingo, Lodge 701 hosts member events throughout the year spanning holiday celebrations, community fundraisers, and private gatherings that keep the calendar full. The bar itself is a proper neighborhood lounge, stocked and staffed for a relaxed night out whether you're a decades-long Elk or someone's guest visiting for the first time.

Membership opens the door to reciprocal lodge privileges at Elks lodges across the country, member-only pricing, and the satisfaction of belonging to one of America's longest-standing charitable fraternal organizations.

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
