Discover Hilo's Heartbeat at Elks Lodge

Join our vibrant Big Island community for camaraderie, dancing, fitness, and volunteer spirit in historic Old Town Hilo.

About Us

Nestled at 150 Kinoole St in the heart of Old Town Hilo, the Elks Lodge stands as a timeless beacon of aloha spirit and brotherly love. This beautiful historic building, with its classic architecture and warm island vibes, has been the gathering spot for Hilo locals since its early days. We're more than just a lodge—we're family.

Step inside and feel the energy: friendly faces sharing stories over cold drinks poured by our all-volunteer bartenders, lively dance floors pulsing with Big Island rhythm, and exercise classes that keep our keiki to kupuna moving strong. Whether you're escaping the rain or chasing the sun, our lodge offers a welcoming escape with that genuine Hawaiian hospitality.

As a proud Elks chapter, we embody the values of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity—right here in paradise. From community fundraisers to casual nights out, we've earned our 4.5-star reputation through great people and unforgettable experiences. Sure, we're a classic spot with character (and maybe a few stories etched in the walls), but that's what makes us Hilo's best-kept secret. Come make memories under the Hilo moon—your lodge family awaits.
