At Elks Lodge 298, the corner of West Central Park Ave in Davenport is more than a mailing address. It's where locals gather for live music from acts like the Tommy Pickett Band, sports card shows that draw collectors from across the Quad Cities, and catered dinners that keep members coming back. With a 4.5-star rating across 125 reviews, the welcome here is real, not rehearsed.

The Lodge's two-floor layout gives members and guests room to breathe. Downstairs, the bar is a neighborhood fixture where affordable drinks flow alongside genuine conversation. Upstairs, the event space hosts everything from community meetings to private receptions, making it one of the most versatile venues on the west side of Davenport.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has operated Lodge 298 with a mission that goes beyond the building: supporting veterans, funding scholarships, and strengthening Davenport, Iowa one handshake at a time. If you've been looking for a place where people actually know your name, this is it.

What We Offer

Lodge 298 hosts a rotating calendar of events that gives members and guests plenty of reasons to show up. Live music nights featuring local and regional bands fill the hall with energy on weekends, while sports card shows draw enthusiastic crowds of collectors and dealers throughout the year.

The event space is also available for private bookings, corporate meetings, and community fundraisers, with courteous staff who are known by reviewers for their genuine warmth and helpfulness.

Membership in the Elks opens doors to a national network of over 2,000 lodges, access to veteran support programs, youth scholarship opportunities, and local charitable initiatives that make a measurable difference across the Quad Cities region.

"Attending a meeting from a local bank. The food was catered in. There was a bar open ( 2 employees) downstairs. The lady working kept putting her fingers INSIDE the cups as she made drinks ( ick) Both seemed like they hadn't had much experience in that area... I thought $6.50 was a bit much for a vodka / 7 in a plastic cup .... after the meeting, we were asked to stick around & have another drink.. we waited about 10 minutes,.. the lady behind the bar lined up about a dozen cups & continued to line them up by grabbing them by the rims ( again ick) .. she stood there, not sure if she didn't know what was being mixed, or poured, but watching her fingers inside the cups was a big turn off... we waited another 10 minutes..but nothing was poured, so we left.. HYGIENE IS A BIG DEAL... if the company chooses this place next year, I think we'll pass ...."

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
