About Us

A child stands near a memorial at San Clemente Elks Lodge.

At 1505 N El Camino Real, just above the coastal hills of San Clemente, Lodge #2068 runs on a simple idea: people do more good together than apart. Members here aren't just card-carriers. They're the folks organizing scholarship drives, supporting veterans' causes, and showing up when the community needs them most. The motto Elks Care, Elks Share isn't a slogan on the wall. It's the reason someone holds the door, buys you a round, and asks how your family's doing.

Walk in on a Wednesday and the smell of homemade Mexican food hits you before you've found a seat. The salsa is made from scratch, the bartenders know regulars by name, and the room has that easy, unhurried energy that most bars spend a lot of money trying to fake. With a perfect five-star rating across 42 reviews, the atmosphere speaks for itself.

What We Offer

Lodge #2068 offers its members far more than a comfortable place to unwind. The weekly Wednesday dinners are a genuine highlight, with house-made Mexican dishes and salsa that regulars rave about year after year. Drink prices are kept fair, the bar is well-stocked, and the staff keeps things running smoothly without any attitude.

Beyond the social side, membership connects you to Elks National Foundation programs that fund scholarships, support veterans, and invest in local youth. The Lodge hosts events throughout the year ranging from community fundraisers to holiday gatherings. If you've been invited by a current member, come with an open mind. If you're looking to join, the process is straightforward and the welcome is genuine.

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
