About Elk's Lodge #2090
Elk’s Lodge #2090 in Show Low, Arizona is a local Elks (Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks) fraternal lodge and community event hall. It was instituted on June 23, 1958 (www.elks.org) and since then has served as a social and charitable hub in the White Mountains. The lodge’s large main hall feels like a rustic mountain cabin – expect wood-paneled walls, an American flag backdrop, hunting trophies and the Elks’ familiar antler logo. It’s located at 805 E. Whipple Street, right in downtown Show Low (www.mapquest.com) (showcased on a prominent Elks sign). The lodge proudly notes it is a “community-focused organization” (www.mapquest.com), and indeed it functions as a casual gathering place where both members and visitors mingle for events. Seasonal hours are run with local volunteers (summer vs. winter holiday schedules (www.elks.org)), and lodge meetings occur on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 6 p.m. The atmosphere is friendly and downhome – on any club night, the room is filled with familiar faces, meaning even first-time guests quickly feel at home.
As a venue, it’s medium-sized. The main banquet/dance hall can likely hold on the order of 100–200 people (the exact capacity isn’t posted publicly). The space includes a stage at one end and a bar/lounge on the side, with tables and chairs that can be rearranged depending on the event. Notably, Elk’s Lodge #2090 also has its own RV campground out back (www.elks.org) – twenty-four full-hookup RV sites (50-amp give electric, sewer and water) available by reservation (www.elks.org). This makes it especially popular with traveling Elks and tourists who can camp overnight right next to the lodge. In its long history the lodge has seen everything from charity dinners to dances; it even won Arizona State Ritual Championships in 2008 and 2014 (www.elks.org), a nod to its active Elks memberships. While it may not have the flash of a downtown theater, its local significance, park-like location in the Ponderosas, and decades of community events make it a unique spot in Show Low.
Events and Programming
Elk’s Lodge #2090 hosts a wide variety of events. On lodge meeting nights (first & third Thursdays) regular members gather, but much of the year the hall is booked for public happenings. Typical programming includes charity fundraisers, holiday banquets (like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners), tabletop games, and seasonal festivities (for example, ice cream socials or costume contests on Halloween). Bingo nights and card tournaments are common fundraisers at many Elks halls, and while we didn’t find a current schedule for Show Low’s Bingo, it’s the sort of ongoing event to watch for on local calendars.
Live entertainment is also a big part of the lodge’s schedule. Local and touring bands occasionally play here – everything from country-rock cover bands to classic rock acts. For instance, the lodge recently hosted a “Casino Night” with live music (featuring Stone Country with Ashley Westcott) as part of a fundraising event (showlowmainstreet.com). Comedy shows happen too; comedian Chris Bennett held a birthday stand-up show at the lodge in July 2022 (www.ticketfairy.com), drawing an adult crowd (21+ night). Regular “dance night” affairs with a live DJ or band aren’t advertised publicly, but the layout is perfect for dancing once the tables are pushed aside. Recurring events can be things like Taco Tuesdays or Friday Fish Fries, although current availability should be confirmed by calling the lodge (📞 928.537.4901) as hours and events change seasonally (www.elks.org).
The calendar is somewhat eclectic rather than fixed: one year you might find a homestead fair or arts-and-crafts show, another year a card game championship. A good example of community events is the annual “White Mountain Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show” – scheduled for mid-July 2025 a Show Low Elks Lodge (whitemountain-azrockclub.org). That three-day show draws collectors from all over, with jewelry displays, kids’ activities, food trucks on site, and only a few dollars admission (whitemountain-azrockclub.org). Other once-a-season events can include hunting and gun raffles, ATV club meet-ups, or a Veterans tribute ceremony. In short, visitors should expect a mix of lodge-owned community dinners and third-party productions. Ticket prices reflect this mix: local dinners or lodge fundraisers are often modest ($10–$15 includes a meal), whereas concerts or comedy shows might charge $20–$30 (www.ticketfairy.com) (showlowmainstreet.com) per ticket. (A fundraiser casino night, as advertised, ran about $75 per person (showlowmainstreet.com), for context.) The best way to keep track of events is to check the lodge’s announcements or local event listings in Show Low’s community papers and websites; many shows are announced a few weeks in advance.
Tickets and Booking
For public events at Elk’s Lodge #2090, tickets are generally sold through the event organizer or at the door. The lodge itself doesn’t operate a formal box office window, so most tickets must be picked up in advance via the promoter. For example, a recent comedy show was ticketed online ahead of time (sold through an event site) (www.ticketfairy.com). If you see an event poster or online listing, it will usually list how to get tickets – often by calling the lodge or an entertainment group, or by online sales. If an event is open seating and not sold out, tickets also may be sold at the door when the venue opens.
Ticket availability and price depend on the act. As a ballpark, many concert or comedy top acts at this lodge cost in the $20–$30 range for a general admission ticket. Lodge dinners or dances tend to be less (sometimes $10–$15 dinner tickets). Special fundraisers (with food, drinks included) can be pricier, as seen with that casino-themed event at several dozen dollars per person (showlowmainstreet.com). Since popular events can fill up quickly in a smaller town, it’s wise to buy early – calling the lodge well before the date or watching local promoters’ announcements can secure your spot. Ask the lodge if they offer member presales or discounts, but generally any public performance here is open to all for the listed ticket price. In summary: Get tickets through the advertised channel (phone or web), or try the door if the show isn’t sold out.
Seating and Layout
The Elk’s Lodge hall is one big open room. A stage spans one end of the room (with a podium, American flag, and microphone area for speeches). The rest of the floor is flexible – tables and stackable chairs are brought in based on need. There are no fixed theater seats or balcony. Typically, for shows peaked at the lodge, round dining tables are arranged facing the stage, with folding chairs slotted around them.
Best Viewing Spots: The front-middle area of the floor is the prime spot for any performance. Sitting near the stage gives the best sightlines and sound (the main speakers flank the stage). If the event includes music or dialogue, stay center for clarity; the side corners may sound a bit hollow due to echo. There’s often a dance floor area just in front of the stage. At concerts, people stand near the stage or at the back to dance. Seating is first-come-first-served – there are no reserved sections. For high-attendance shows, arriving early ensures you can grab a table or front-row seat.
- Chairs & Tables: Provided for dining or watching; pop them up wherever you like once the doors open.
- General Admission: Most shows do not come with assigned seats. All ticket holders share one large room.
- VIP Section: There is no formal VIP box. Sometimes a promoter may reserve a table or two for sponsors (ask at the door).
- Areas to Avoid: The very back by the entrance can be noisy with people coming and going. Also avoid seats directly next to the bar if you dislike crowd traffic.
- Acoustics: Sound can echo softly off the wood-paneled walls. Sitting toward the front mitigates this – otherwise you may need to lean in to hear whisper-soft comedy or lyrics.
Getting There and Parking
Exact Location: Elk’s Lodge #2090 is at 805 E. Whipple Street, Show Low, AZ 85901 (www.mapquest.com). Whipple Street is part of Hwy 60 through downtown. The lodge sits on the north side of Whipple, roughly between 5th and 6th Streets (just east of the Pine Meadows Golf Course). Its prominent Elks sign can be seen from the road as you approach.
Driving/Parking: Show Low is served by U.S. Route 60. From the east (Heber/Show Low) or west (Young), follow US-60 to the Main Street/Whipple St exit. The lodge’s parking lot is directly behind the building – enter from the side street. Expect room for 30-40 cars (but this can fill on busy nights). Street parking on Whipple, Pine, or 5th Street is also available (all free). The lodge’s RV park offers 24 overnight spaces (50A + full hookups) (www.elks.org) at $25/night or $600/month, which is handy for self-contained visitors. If you tow an RV, you can reserve one before arrival. Otherwise, there’s no charge for regular vehicles.
Utilities and Costs: Parking at the lodge is free. If you are a member or guest and want to stay longer than the event, note that the lodge bar may close at a certain time but you can usually remain at tables. If you drive, you won’t need to worry about meters – just abide by Provo Canyon signage or blocked areas (none prominent here). For handicapped drivers, check for an accessible spot near the lot.
Public Transit: Show Low’s local bus system (the Four Seasons Connection) does not drop off at Whipple St directly, but it stops a block or two away. The main bus/waiting area (for Greyhound and local buses) is the Navajo County Complex at 550 N. 9th Place (www.greyhound.com), which is about a 5-minute walk (0.2 miles) north of the lodge. You could walk down Whipple from there. Some Four Seasons buses also meet at the Show Low Walmart or near the hospital – again about 5–10 minutes by foot from the lodge. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) coverage in Show Low is limited but often works; otherwise, local taxi companies can be called for drop-off at the lodge’s front door. If you’re staying in central Show Low, it’s a perfectly walkable stroll along sidewalks on Whipple Street.
Airports/Rides: The nearest major airport is at Flagstaff (about 90 miles west), with smaller general aviation fields in Show Low itself. If flying into Phoenix (170 miles south), consider a connecting bus or rent a car. Valet parking is not typically offered by the lodge; valet arrangements could be made for large events, but usually you’ll self-park. Rideshare drop-off is easy at the front entrance (off Whipple Street). Do note: cell signal can be spotty when negotiating pickups in the town center, so pre-arrange your ride home before the event ends.
Inside the Venue
Upon entering the lodge, you’ll notice a lodge-hall vibe more than a slick concert theater. The decor is warm and wooden, with the Elks’ iconic bull elk symbol front and center on stage. Entry is usually through the Whipple Street side door (some events use the front lounge entrance). For ticketed shows, a volunteer or staff member will check your ticket or ID at the door. For member meetups or dinners, the dress code is casual – you’ll see folks in jeans, plaid shirts, and weekend wear. During club nights, the atmosphere is very relaxed; for concerts, the lights may be dimmed and a red stage curtain drawn until showtime.
- Security/Entry: For public concerts and comedy nights, expect a door person checking ID for 21+ events. There is generally no bag check or metal detector (it’s a friendly small town), but they do have the right to deny entry to intoxicated individuals or anyone causing trouble. On major event nights, there might be a short line at the door – arrive early to avoid delays.
- Bar & Food: There is a full bar inside, serving beer, wine and liquor. Drink prices are modest (Arizona tax included); most people buy drink tickets or pay cash at the bar. The lodge often serves food during events – in winter this could be a hot dish (like chili or stew), and in summer the kitchen might make sandwiches, pizza or burgers. Some events bring in outside caterers: the white-scaled lady events may have tacos, or a mobile BBQ that parks outside (showlowmainstreet.com). If you eat at the lodge, you might need to preorder a meal (for big dinners) or simply buy snacks at the event. It's a “bring-your-wallet” setting: cash works best.
- Seating & Tables: There is no coatroom, but there are racks if you need to hang coats. The lodge itself does not hand out seat cushions or anything special – you get a plastic banquet chair. There’s no coat-check service, just hang coats near your table. If an event is chilly, you might share a table with others until floor lights come on for cleanup.
- Merchandise & Extras: This isn’t a rock concert arena, so there’s no permanent gift shop. Sometimes a traveling band or comedian will set up a small merch stand near the entrance, selling CDs or DVDs (if they tour). Otherwise, the lodge might sell a few items at the bar (like logo T-shirts or coffee mugs at occasional fundraisers). Often there’s a prize raffle at charity events (for example, Casino Night tickets came with raffle tickets (showlowmainstreet.com)). If there’s merchandise or raffles, volunteers will make announcements and circulate during the show.
- Restrooms: Bathrooms are at the back or side of the hall. They are standard men’s/women’s rooms with sinks. There should be at least one ADA-accessible stall, given the lodge’s public status (though the walk might involve a slight ramp). If mobility is an issue, notify the door staff as they can usually accommodate wheelchairs to the side entrance.
- Connectivity: Don’t count on Wi-Fi for streaming or large downloads – the lodge’s internet is not publicized and likely locked to member use. Cell phone service (Verizon/AT&T) gets fair coverage inside; a little spotty for calls if you’re outside the building but text/email should generally work once inside the hall. If you need to charge your phone, look for an outlet by the bar or stage – one is usually available (just ask). Note: Some venues discourage live-streaming performances, so if you plan to record, ask permission first.
Nearby Amenities
The lodge sits in central Show Low, so dining and lodging are nearby. Dinner plans are easy: within a block or two on Whipple Street there are casual eateries (think burgers, pizza and Mexican food) and informal bars. For a sit-down meal, popular local restaurants are:
- Buffalo Bill’s Tavern & Grill (American steaks and burgers, right on Whipple St.) – famous for buffalo burgers and western atmosphere.
- Red Devil Pizza (corner of Whipple & Holloman) – a local favorite for pizza and pastas, family-friendly.
- Licano’s Mexican Food & Steakhouse (a few minutes west on Whipple) – known for hearty Mexican grill and steaks; kids eat free deals.
- Sonoran Mexican Grill (E. Deuce of Clubs) – breakfast/lunch Mexican style, good for a quick bite before a matinee.
- LongHorn Steakhouse (West Deuce of Clubs) – a national chain near Walmart, reliable American fare for groups.
- Buffalo Wild Wings (West Deuce) – sports-bar vibe with wings and beer (late closing, TV screens).
Bars and breweries for after-panel drinks include the Velvet Elvis (a cozy dive bar on Deuce), and on busy weekends, outfits in Lakeside like The Lakeside Taproom (craft beer pub). Show Low is small but lively at night; most bars stay open to midnight or later on weekends.
Hotels are plentiful and within a mile of the lodge. The closest are chain motels right off Hwy 60 (Whipple) such as the Holiday Inn Express Show Low (www.ihg.com), Best Western Paint Pony Lodge, Quality Inn and some locally owned inns. All are within 5-10 minutes’ drive and many offer shuttles or help recommend taxis. For overnight RVers, Sleeping Bull RV Park or the lodge’s own RV campground (with full hookups) are convenient. If you’re arriving for an evening event, plan your hotel check-in or dinner at least an hour before showtime to avoid rush hour or parking stress. After the show, few pubs stay open very late here, so if you plan to drink, either book a nearby room or arrange transportation home in advance. On summer weekends or ski season holidays, consider booking well ahead – the White Mountains draw many visitors, and rooms can sell out.
What Makes This Venue Special
Elk’s Lodge #2090 isn’t just “another community hall” – it’s a slice of local history and character. Its specialness comes from being a down-to-earth gathering place in a scenic mountain town, where the owners (Elks volunteers) genuinely know the patrons by name. A few things set it apart:
- Historic Charm: The lodge has been around since 1958 (www.elks.org), so people of several generations have memories here. It isn’t a modern concert hall, but that’s also its appeal – seeing old lodge memorabilia, the tall ceilings adorned with antlers, and even in-house trophies (they won statewide Ritual contests in 2008 and 2014 (www.elks.org)) gives a sense of legacy. Locals love that it keeps Show Low’s “Old West” and community vibe alive amid chain stores and new buildings.
- Community Soul: Unlike a touring music venue, the Elks Lodge is a community club doing charity work. Profits from events often support local causes (scholarships, youth camp trips, veterans programs). For example, lodge members operate the Jack Warter Youth Camp project at Workman Creek (www.elks.org), which they actively promote during lodge events. Attending a night here, you become part of that giving spirit. Many people who are not even Elks members volunteer for lodge projects or simply come back because of the goodwill fostered in these walls.
- Versatility: One week it’s a bingo fundraiser, another week it’s a rock band, the next it’s a bingo-fish-fry combo. No other local venue changes hats so smoothly. The lodge’s volunteer kitchen can crank out hundreds of plates for a community dinner, and then in the afternoons clear away tables for a baby shower. Its multi-use “anything goes” layout (with the big stage and kitchen) is why events from holiday toy drives to wrestling tournaments have been held there.
- Scenic Setting: Though indoors, it feels connected to the outdoors thanks to local pinewood architecture and nearby mountains. Guests often note the cool, crisp Arizona pine air outside when stepping out for a break. Plus, you can easily pair a lodge night with outdoor fun – a day hike in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest or fishing at nearby Fool Hollow Lake makes the trip up here extra satisfying.
- Home-Town Hospitality: Performers who visit this lodge often comment on the warm crowd and enthusiastic applause (a comedian joked, “I got more tips here than in Phoenix!”). The regulars in the front rows at a country band show aren’t distant fans – they’re neighbors or the bar owner’s buddies, livening up every chorus. Even on public nights the sense is “everyone’s family” – you might share a table with co-workers, then have a drink with the mayor after the show. That small-town camaraderie is the number-one feature people remember.
Visitor Tips and Information
- Check Age Limits & ID: Many pop concerts and comedy shows at the lodge are 21+ due to alcohol service (as in the recent Chris Bennett shows (www.ticketfairy.com)). Always carry a photo ID for entry if the event is listed as adults-only. Family-friendly events (breakfast, midday fairs, etc.) do allow children, but double-check first.
- Bring Cash: The bar and kitchen might not take cards (especially credit cards). Have cash for drinks, food, or tip jars. Some raffles or games at fundraisers will only sell tickets for cash. An ATM may not be on-site.
- Arrive Early: Doors often open an hour before showtime. Getting there early guarantees parking and the best seats. If food is being served, come 30–45 minutes before to grab a meal. The Lodge fills tables on a first-come basis.
- Dress Comfortably: This is a casual mountain lodge – jeans, boots, flannels and t-shirts are normal attire. In winter, the hall can be cool, so a jacket or sweater is wise. Leisure wear is fine; you won’t see tuxedos here.
- No Outside Food/Drink: Bringing outside alcohol or food to a show is not allowed. Plan to buy beverages from the lodge. You may bring bottled water, but liquor and full picnic baskets are prohibited.
- Smoking Rules: No smoking or vaping inside (Arizona law bans it). Step outside to one of the sand-filled urns by the exits. There’s a covered porch area by the rear for smokers during cold weather.
- Accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp at a side entrance and at least one handicap stall in the restroom. If anyone has special mobility needs, call ahead so staff can reserve a convenient spot or assist upon arrival.
- Cameras & Phones: Casual photography with phones is okay for personal use. Professional cameras or video recording should only be used with permission from the performer or lodge manager. Avoid bright flash during a performance out of courtesy.
- Cell Service: Coverage inside is fair. Verizon and AT&T usually work; T-Mobile/others may be spotty. If you rely on live navigation or streaming, be prepared to do so outside the building or pre-download what you need.
- Beverage Policy: If driving, designate a driver. Show Low has limited late-night transit; a taxi or ride-share could take time to arrive. If in doubt, book a hotel nearby (some offer shuttles) to avoid driving after drinking.
- Membership vs. Public: You do not need to be an Elk member to attend most events. Any public-facing event welcomes non-members. On strictly club-only nights, the lodge will specify if membership is required.
- Weather Prep: In winter, Show Low can have snow or ice. If driving in, allow extra travel time. The lodge parking will be plowed, but arriving early is extra important in bad weather.
- Stay Flexible: Because it’s volunteer-run, start times can sometimes shift slightly. Plan a small buffer before and after the announced times. Also, the lodge may close earlier if many members leave; don’t expect club service past the ballroom event’s end.

Where are the best seats to see a show?
The best seats are front and center in the main hall, close to the stage. Sitting up front gives the clearest view and sound (the speakers are usually at the front). If you like dancing or moving around, the area near the stage is also open. The back seats are fine for watching, but may be a bit farther from the speakers.
Are children allowed at the Elks Lodge #2090 events?

Yes. Inside the hall there is a fully stocked bar (beer, wine, spirits). The lodge often runs food service during events – this can be anything from simple snacks and sandwiches to full dinners like fish fries or Bar-B-Q dinners. At special events, you’ll often find meals included (e.g. a spaghetti dinner or taco dinner with your ticket). If hungry, plan to order from the lodge kitchen or vendors.
Where are the restrooms located?

Is Wi-Fi or phone charging available?
The lodge does not advertise free public Wi-Fi. Cell phone signal is decent for calling and texting (especially Verizon/ATT). If you need to charge your device, some outlets are available in the hall (try near the bar or by the stage). It’s wise to bring a fully charged phone or a small power bank, just in case.
What is the capacity of Elk's Lodge #2090?
The hall is medium-sized. While an official number isn’t posted publicly, it can seat roughly 150–200 people at tables. For standing-room events, it might hold a bit more. It’s big enough for local concerts or banquet gatherings, but not a large arena. For safety reasons, packed events will reach a point where the door is closed (so arrive early for big shows).
Is Elk's Lodge #2090 indoor or outdoor?
All events at the lodge are indoors, in the large main hall. There is no outdoor amphitheater. There is a small patio area for smokers or porch-sitting, but performances and dining happen inside. This means shows go on in any weather.
Is the lodge wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The building has a ramp at one entrance and at least one accessible restroom. The lodge is in compliance with ADA for wheelchair access. If special accommodations are needed, calling ahead will ensure staff can guide you smoothly (the lodge prides itself on being welcoming).
Do I have to be a member to attend?
No. You do not need to join the Elks to attend public events. The lodge opens its doors to the public for concerts, dinners, and fundraisers. Only certain private meetings or nights (which would be clearly advertised as members-only) are restricted. Basically, treat it like any public venue for most events.
What is special about Elk's Lodge #2090?
It’s special because it’s a small-town lodge with big-heart tradition. The combination of historic charm (open log-hall style since 1958 (www.elks.org)), local community spirit, and a built-in RV campground make it unique. Guests often mention the friendly mountain vibe and the fact that event payments support community causes. (www.mapquest.com) (www.elks.org) Over decades the lodge has become a gathering place where every event feels like a hometown party.
Can I rent the lodge for my own event?
Yes, Elk’s Lodge halls are often available for private rentals (like weddings, birthdays or meetings). If you want to rent this lodge, call the office or a lodge officer to inquire. They will discuss dates, fees or donations, and rules. Many locals use the lodge’s banquet hall for large family gatherings. Just be mindful that the lodge’s schedule may already be booked for Elks functions on some dates.
