Elks are the«New Cool», so wrote the Seattle Times «Scores of 20– and 30-somethings are flocking to two Elks lodges in Seattle, drawn by a stunning view, cheap drinks and the chance to give back to the community.» If you are living on Ramen noodles while going to Texas Tech, want a cheap night out, some friendly and safe activities, as well as give back to the community, then check them out. Elks give back through children and veteran programs. This lodge has a large built in pool, game room and a good side U shaped bar. Drinks are cheap. The people are unbelievably friendly. Fridays are always a good night for some food and dancing. Check them out. You may find them to be the best inexpensive way for a night out and give back to your community at the same time.
