About Us

Apache Junction Elks Lodge exterior with community event and signage.

Step out onto the back patio at Apache Junction Elks Lodge #2349 and you'll understand immediately why members keep coming back. The Superstition Mountains rise up right in front of you, shifting color through the afternoon as shadows chase the light across the rock face. It's the kind of view that turns a Tuesday night into something worth talking about.

Chartered in the shadow of the Sonoran Desert, Lodge #2349 has earned a 4.3-star reputation built on exactly what you'd hope to find: genuine people, a freshly remodeled space, and a clean, smoke-free interior that still lets you enjoy the open air on that legendary patio. The lodge welcomes both members and guests, so whether you rolled in from out of state or you've lived on Apache Trail for decades, there's a spot at the bar with your name on it.

The kitchen fires up crowd favorites like the popular Taco Tuesday spread that draws RV travelers and locals alike. Events rotate through the calendar, from dances to community fundraisers, giving members a reason to show up every week. This is a lodge that actually feels lived-in, not like a relic collecting dust.

What We Offer

Lodge #2349 runs a full-service bar and dining operation anchored by weekly events that give the schedule real rhythm. Taco Tuesday is the flagship, drawing a mix of regulars and travelers who've heard the word spread through the RV community along Apache Trail. The food is honest, the portions are fair, and the views from the patio are completely free.

Beyond the kitchen, the lodge hosts dances, charitable fundraisers, and community events throughout the year. The remodeled interior keeps things comfortable and smoke-free, while the back patio remains the social hub for members who want the open desert air. Out-of-state Elks members are always welcome to stop in and connect with the local chapter.

Membership in BPOE comes with access to all of this plus the broader national network of Elks lodges, charitable programs, and veterans support initiatives. Inquire at the lodge about joining or visit ajelks.com for upcoming event schedules.

"I was visiting Apache Junction from out of state and stopped by the Lodge to inquire about an upcoming dance. I had no intention of doing anything within the building during my inquiry stop, other than ask general questions about the Elks dance floor. The host on duty was one of the rudest individuals I have ever encountered. He informed me I could not be in the building and abruptly forced me to leave the premises. If this type behavior is typical and allowed within the Elks club, I would certainly want not to be associated with them. I hope this type behavior is not reflective of other lodges."

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
