About Us

At 2232 N Hollywood Way, the Burbank Elks Lodge 1497 is the kind of place that sneaks up on you. Plenty of members joined thinking it was just a convenient spot for affordable drinks with friends. Then something shifts. You start showing up for the people, the causes, the sense of belonging to something that actually matters in your city.

The Lodge hosts private events that guests rave about year after year. One member has now booked the same event here two years running, and the reviews tell the same story repeatedly: spotless facilities, genuinely friendly staff, and a crowd that makes you feel like you belong the moment you walk through the door. That 4.6-star rating across 147 reviews is not a marketing number. It is earned, one handshake and one well-run event at a time.

The Burbank Elks are part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a national organization with deep roots in veterans' support, youth programs, and local charitable giving. But this Lodge is distinctly Burbank, sitting in a community shaped by the entertainment industry, working families, and a fierce local pride that fits right in with the Elks' own values.

What We Offer

The Lodge offers event venue rental for birthdays, celebrations, corporate gatherings, and private parties in a clean, well-maintained space that members and guests consistently praise. The staff handles the details so you can focus on your guests.

Membership opens the door to affordable dining and drinks at the Lodge bar and dining room, regular social events, and a network of Elks chapters across the country that you can visit as a card-carrying member. The Lodge also runs community programs tied to veterans' assistance, scholarship funding for local youth, and charitable initiatives throughout the Burbank area.

Whether you are exploring membership or simply need a reliable venue in the San Fernando Valley, Lodge 1497 is worth a phone call. Events are bookable for members and non-members alike, making it one of the more accessible and genuinely welcoming halls in the region.

"AMERICANS, LISTEN UP! I joined the Elks ‎in ‎2017 because all my buddies were joining at the same time. My initial attitude was that it was a cheap place to pre-game before we went out. With $3 wells and $2.50 pints, we were getting faded and having fun. I also wanted to take advantage of the nationwide camping opportunities, & discounted hall rental that they offer members at discounted rates. When I joined, I didn't want to be "involved" but after going to events and meeting such wonderful people, I'm glad I did get involved. It's been a very rewarding journey so far. I've learned a lot about our community and have met so many great people in a short time. I'm lucky to be surrounded by a like-minded group of volunteers who care about people, who pour their hearts, energy, time, and focus on helping others. I invite everyone from Burbank and beyond to join their local Elks lodge and help their community become stronger by getting involved. Elk's are a fantastic community of members who gather daily to socialize and develop new ideas to help raise awareness (and funds) that profit our local community. B.P.O.E is a nonprofit organization that gives so much to their city, veterans, and especially disabled children. Elks love having fun, to forage in the great outdoors, and party like a mid-flight "Jolly Corks" liberated from the constraints of a Champagne bottle! Each year B.P.O.E. gives millions in scholarships, and help veterans, scouts, school kids, and families in need. Our local Burbank Elks #1497 Lodge has ample parking & 4 overnight camping spots (@$15/night w/water & power) available to members. A large bar, w/3 TVs, CA.Lottery and scratchers sales (including Hot Spot), a weight room, sauna, showers, a GIANT social hall and boasts a dozen world class heated Carom and traditional billiards tables. Along with a former Top-5 world champion who manages the billiards room and hosts competitions. Meetings are held every Wednesday @7pm (for card carrying members). Bar opens daily at 3pm and Wednesday night dinners begin at 5:30pm. Dinners usually include soup, salad, bread, main dish, and desert. Drinks can be purchased at the bar either cash or credit and taken with you to dinner (no table service) Sunday breakfast is open to everyone, and we also host special events on holidays and provide hall rental for parties, weddings, memorials, social club events, etc. Money raised at these events goes to help the community and pay for building maintenance and pay the few employees who keep the place running. Secure entry via key card, and CCT recording. kept locked to provide security, verify membership, and peace of mind. There is a catch to becoming an Elk: You must be an American Citizen You must believe in God You cannot have a criminal record You must pay your membership fees, they help to keep the organization going. Burbank fees are $85"

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.
