About Us

Pull up a stool at Manasota Elks Lodge 2734 and you'll quickly understand why it earns a 4.7-star rating from the people who actually show up. Bartender Lori has become something of a local legend here, the kind of person who remembers your drink order and makes a first-timer feel like a regular. Members like Shotgun and Debbie keep the conversation going, and the room has a warmth that's hard to manufacture.

The lodge sits at 6808 14th Street West in Bradenton, making it an easy stop whether you're coming from a Sarasota ball game or just wrapping up your week. Walk in and you'll likely catch the smell of fresh popcorn, always hot, always free. Lunches like turkey and gravy over white bread are the kind of honest, satisfying food that keeps people coming back on a Tuesday.

This is BPOE Lodge 2734, part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, an organization that has been supporting veterans, funding scholarships, and strengthening local communities across America for over 150 years. At this lodge, that mission shows up in real, tangible ways every single week.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar staffed by attentive, friendly bartenders who know how to run a room. Affordable lunch service keeps the kitchen busy midday, with comfort-food staples that hit the spot after a morning on the water or a shift at work. Fresh popcorn is a standing house tradition, the kind of small detail that signals a place genuinely cares about the experience.

Beyond the bar and kitchen, Lodge 2734 hosts regular events, charitable fundraisers, and member gatherings that give the Bradenton community a real place to connect. Ticket sales at events support local causes directly tied to the Elks mission, including veterans programs and youth scholarships. Guests are welcome to visit with a member, and prospective members can inquire about joining through the national Elks.org portal linked to this lodge.

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
