The Greatest Little Lodge Where Wonderful Things Happen
Elks Care • Elks Share
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Crestview Lodge Number 2624, is located in Crestview, North West Florida.
A progressive forward thinking Lodge, where having fun and doing good are what it's about.
Our Lodge is located at the north end of Downtown Crestview, opposite the Courts House and Casbah Coffee.
We have ample on-street parking and also a large private parking area next to the Lodge.
The Bar
A beautiful hand built full bar, where you can relax with your favorite drink, play bar bingo or just chill and have a chat.
The bar is open from 5 pm to 9 pm Wednesday to Saturday. We welcome all Elks whether you are a local member or traveling.
Members may also sign in a guest!
We now have Bar Bingo for Members! Sit in your favorite seat at the bar, or table if you prefer, and play bar bingo.
Our Five Acre Property
We are very fortunate to have our very own five-acre property, located at Elks Lane, off Fairchild Road, north Crestview.
This property provides us the opportunity to hold our well supported Turkey Shoot, outdoor family events, football, baseball, soccer and many more.
Two local organizations who use our field for sporting events are the Crestview Area Youth Association (CAYA) and UF IFAS Extension Okaloosa County 4-H (4-H)
