Lodge #1661 offers a full calendar of reasons to get off the couch. On the food side, expect rotating weekly specials anchored by crowd favorites: smoked brisket, slow-cooked ribs, ham dinners, and a Friday fish fry that regulars plan their week around. The kitchen keeps quality high and prices member-friendly.
Entertainment runs deep here. Saturday night live music featuring The Good Times Band gives members and guests a genuine dance-hall experience without leaving San Benito. Monday Wii bowling at 12:30 p.m. is a low-key, high-fun tradition that draws a loyal weekly crowd. The fully stocked bar is staffed by friendly, attentive bartenders who know how to read a room.
Beyond the fun, the lodge provides real community support: charitable giving, veteran outreach, youth programs tied to the national Elks mission, and a welcoming space for members to gather, grieve, celebrate, and connect. Membership opens the door to all of it.
