About Us

Since earning its charter, Rio Rancho Elks Lodge #2500 has been a gathering place for people who believe showing up matters. Rated 4.6 stars across 94 reviews, the Lodge draws families, veterans, scouts, and longtime locals to 1530 Barbara Loop SE for everything from Friday night bar-menu dinners to high school milestone celebrations. That kind of range doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the members here actually care about the people walking through the door.

On Saturday mornings, the dining room fills up with something you don't find everywhere: a hot breakfast that doubles as a fundraiser, supporting local Scout troops one plate at a time. It's become a weekly ritual for families in the area, a reason to get out of the house and put money toward kids who are learning to lead. The food is made to feed a crowd, and the conversation is always free.

The Elks of America organization traces back to 1868, and Lodge #2500 carries that legacy into New Mexico with the specific energy of a city that built itself from scratch. Rio Rancho is young, fast-growing, and hungry for exactly the kind of civic anchor the Elks have always provided. This Lodge is that anchor.

What We Offer

The Lodge hosts a rotating calendar of events that gives members and guests multiple reasons to come back. Friday night dinners off the bar menu are a weekly staple, drawing regulars who come for the food and stay for the company. Event rentals make the facility a popular choice for graduation parties, family reunions, quinceañeras, and community fundraisers, with space enough to do it right.

Saturday Scout breakfasts are a community institution, pairing a solid morning meal with direct support for local youth programs. Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens doors to a national network of charitable giving, scholarship programs, and veterans outreach, all driven at the local level by the people in this room.

The Lodge also functions as a social club with a full bar, regular meetings, and member-only events that reward the people who put in the time. Whether you're a longtime Elk or someone who just moved to Rio Rancho and wants to plug into something real, the door at Barbara Loop SE is the right place to start.

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
