At 207 E Main St, the Riverton Elks Lodge #1693 is the kind of place where you walk in a stranger and leave knowing half the room by first name. Rated 4.4 out of 5 by locals and visiting Elks members alike, this lodge has earned its reputation not through flashy renovations but through something harder to manufacture: real people who genuinely show up for each other and for the community.

Visiting members from as far as Price, Utah have called Lodge #1693 one of the friendliest they've ever walked into, singling out regulars and staff by name as the reason they'd drive back. The bar is social, the conversations are real, and the handshake at the door means something. Riverton, Wyoming may be a small city, but this lodge carries the full weight of the Elks mission: charitable giving, youth programs, and veteran support that ripple through Fremont County every year.

The lodge hosts youth events like the Hoop Shoot basketball contest, complete with lunch and trophies for the kids, because that's what Elks do. It's not a museum piece or a private club for the few. It's a working lodge, active and alive, doing the unglamorous but essential work that keeps a community stitched together.

What We Offer

Lodge #1693 offers a full social bar where members and their guests can unwind after a long Wyoming week. Whether you're a dues-paying Elk or a traveling member stopping in off the highway, you'll find a cold drink, a barstool, and conversation that doesn't require a cover charge or a reservation.

The lodge regularly hosts community charity events, youth athletic competitions including the nationally recognized Elks Hoop Shoot, and private party rentals for birthdays, reunions, and celebrations. The space accommodates groups of all sizes and can be reserved for your next event. Members also gain access to the broader BPOE national network, meaning your card gets you through the door at lodges across the country.

Beyond the social side, Lodge #1693 actively supports veterans' programs, scholarship funds, and local youth initiatives through the Elks National Foundation. Membership is open to American citizens who believe in God, and the process is straightforward. Contact the lodge through the national Elks website to get started.

"We went after a children's basketball hoop shoot contest. The elks served lunch and gave out trophies which was awesome. The downside is the smell of stale cigarettes and have to smell current smoke is not a place I want to take my kids to eat."

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
