The Elks lodge, located at 414 Scott Street, was constructed in 1923 by Wausau Elk members. In 2002, the building was remodeled and enhanced with modern conveniences including efficient heating and cooling, an elevator at street level that services all floors, handicapped accessible restrooms off the ballroom floor, and wireless internet (WiFi) accessible throughout the entire building.
The hallmark of our fine establishment is the main floor dining room, spacious foyer and lounge. The dining experience at the Elk’s Lodge is enhanced with the open 175-seat, 2000-square-foot dining area. An adjoining private dining room provides approximately 20 seats for private meetings or family parties. Our menu boasts a full array of contemporary meals prepared and served individually by our own professional staff from our recently updated modern kitchen facility. The main floor circular lounge provides an intimate area for a pre-dinner visit with friends.
An informal members-only lounge is located on the level below the main dinning room. It is adjacent to our six lane bowling alley and provides an excellent area to review the events of the day. The bar seats 50 people and is frequently filled with casual conversations and avid sports watchers. (The lounge has 8 TV sets and a juke box.) In 2010 we added an attractive outdoor patio area complete with tables and gas grill.
For more formal occasions, the top floor ballroom graces the lodge with a full size 4800-square-foot hardwood dance floor with seating for 375. An adjoining bar provides refreshments for private parties or lodge events. An elegant stage offers ample space and acoustics for a small orchestra, band, or DJ.
