About Us

A parade scene with a vintage oil truck and festive crowd. — Butte Elks Lodge #240
A parade scene with a vintage oil truck and festive crowd.

At 206 W Galena St, the Butte Elks Lodge #240 has been a fixture of this mining city's social fabric for generations. Ask anyone who's climbed those stairs to the upstairs ballroom on a big band night and they'll tell you the same thing: the room fills up fast, the floor fills up faster, and by the end of the night you've danced with half the town.

The Lodge earned its 4.5-star reputation not by accident but by delivering the kind of nights people actually talk about. SINGO draws a crowd that laughs loud and stays late. Fundraisers here raise real money for real causes, with members and guests alike chipping in at the door and at the bar. The food and drinks hold their own, and the atmosphere does the rest.

Butte is a town that takes loyalty seriously, and Lodge #240 reflects that. Every event on the calendar connects to something bigger, whether it's a scholarship fund, a local charity drive, or simply keeping a century-old tradition of fellowship alive on the western slope of the Rockies.

What We Offer

The upstairs ballroom is the crown jewel of Lodge #240, a full-scale dance floor that hosts live bands including the celebrated Butte Big Band, private events, and seasonal galas. When the band sets up and the lights go down, the space transforms into something genuinely special, the kind of venue Butte doesn't have another one of.

Beyond the ballroom, members and guests enjoy SINGO nights, a bingo-meets-music format that's become one of the Lodge's most talked-about recurring events. The bar and dining area serve up solid food and drinks in a relaxed, no-pretense setting. Charitable fundraisers run throughout the year, giving every visit a purpose beyond a good time.

Membership in BPOE Lodge #240 opens the door to all of it, plus the broader Elks network, community grant programs, and a social calendar that keeps the Lodge busy year-round. Guests are welcome at many events, so you don't need a membership card to find out what you've been missing.

"I play the piano as part of the Butte Big Band. The band performed as part of a fundraiser for the Butte Elks Lodge. The dance was in the upstairs ballroom. The place was packed with dancers and others who came to enjoy the night. It was great to be able to perform with the band again. The Elks Lodge has a lot of programs open to the public throughout the week and month. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience."

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.
