About Us

At CA-70 and the edge of the Sierra Nevada, the Calpine Elks Lodge runs on something simple: neighbors showing up for neighbors. The bar stays affordable, the food stays real, and the smiles behind the counter are genuine. That combination has earned this lodge a perfect five-star reputation from everyone who walks through the door.

On any given week, you might catch Taco Tuesday drawing a crowd of locals who know a good deal when they see one, or settle in for Spaghetti Night with a table full of friends. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, the kind of place where regulars know each other by name and newcomers feel at home within minutes.

The lodge is more than a dining room and a bar. Members give back to Portola and the surrounding Plumas County communities through charitable programs, youth initiatives, and local events that have made the Elks a cornerstone of this mountain town for generations.

What We Offer

Taco Tuesday and weekly Spaghetti Nights are the crowd favorites, served at prices that won't make you think twice about ordering seconds. The kitchen keeps things straightforward and satisfying, with rotating specials that give members and guests a reason to come back every week.

The full-service bar is stocked and staffed by friendly faces who take pride in offering some of the most reasonable drink prices in the region. Whether you stop in after work or settle in for a long evening, you'll find the atmosphere easy and the tab lighter than you'd expect.

Beyond the food and drinks, the lodge hosts member meetings, community fundraisers, and social events throughout the year. Membership opens the door to all of it, along with a network of fellow Elks lodges across California and the country.

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
