Where Rutland neighbors gather for great food, lively events, and meaningful community service since 1898.
Tucked on Pleasant Street in the heart of Rutland, the Rutland Elks Lodge #345 has been a cornerstone of Vermont hospitality for over 125 years. Step inside our historic building and feel the warmth of a community that genuinely cares. Our spacious bar and dance floor host live music, trivia nights, and themed celebrations that draw neighbors from Killington to Castleton. Veterans receive heartfelt thanks through our annual free holiday meals, while families enjoy safe, affordable fun at our family-friendly events. The lodge's mission runs deeper than good times—members quietly deliver thousands of dollars each year to local scholarships, youth programs, and disaster relief. Whether you're unwinding after work with friends or looking for a place to give back, the Elks Lodge offers that rare Vermont combination of down-to-earth camaraderie and purposeful action.
