About Us

A gathering at Crestwood Elks Lodge with people enjoying a meal. — Crestwood Elks Lodge 2503
A gathering at Crestwood Elks Lodge with people enjoying a meal.

On Bauer Road in Crestwood, Lodge 2503 has been a fixture of South St. Louis County life for decades. Members gather here not for appearances, but for real work: fundraising nights, Scout troop ceremonies, charity events like the moose races that draw crowds from across the region. With a 4.6-star rating built on 61 honest reviews, the Lodge earns its reputation one handshake at a time.

The venue hosts everything from Boy Scout advancement ceremonies and Port of Honor celebrations to private events and community fundraisers. Parents who watch their sons earn merit badges in this building come back year after year because the adults running those programs genuinely push kids to grow. That consistency, that investment in the next generation, is what separates Lodge 2503 from a simple meeting hall.

Elks membership connects you to one of America's largest and oldest fraternal organizations, while keeping your roots firmly in St. Louis, MO. The Lodge supports veterans, funds scholarships, and organizes local giving that stays local. If you want to belong to something that actually does something, this is the room to walk into.

What We Offer

Lodge 2503 offers members and guests a full calendar of activities anchored by real community purpose. Charity events like moose races and fundraiser nights fill the event hall with energy and give participants a direct line to causes they care about. Private event rentals make it a go-to venue for organizational gatherings, milestone celebrations, and troop ceremonies.

For Elks members, the Lodge provides access to a full fraternal program including community service initiatives, veterans support, scholarship programs, and youth outreach. The bar and social facilities give members a comfortable place to connect after a long week. Scout troops affiliated with the Lodge use the space regularly for advancement ceremonies and flag retirement events, a tradition that means a great deal to the families involved.

Non-members can attend many public events and explore membership through the Lodge's welcoming process. Whether you're a longtime South County resident or new to the area, Lodge 2503 offers a straightforward way to plug into a community that shows up.

"I attended the mousse races at this venue in support of a charity event. While the place itself was fairly average with nothing particularly exceptional, we appreciated the opportunity to participate for a good cause. The surrounding area is quite nice, adding to the overall experience."

"Had an absolutely awful experience with a bartender (middle aged lady with dark hair and a stick up her a$$) during a private event, she was rude and refused to let people have more than one drink. The bartender kicked everyone out and closed over an hour early because she said she didn’t support drunk driving and she thought some people there had too much to drink. The bartender also attempted to steal some gifts from the private event, some of the cash gifts were never returned. The place would be better if they hired sane staff members."

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.
