A Hidden Jewel in Santa Monica!…read more We had a great visit today to the Santa Monica Elks Lodge #906, located on Pico and 10th Street in Santa Monica. As longtime Elks, we always enjoy visiting different Lodges, and this one truly stood out. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Jenny, who graciously gave us a tour and shared the history and vibrance of this special place.It's a place that honors tradition while embracing a bright future. Lodge #906 is more than just a meeting space -- it's a sanctuary in the midst of a busy city. It was recently renovated, and the fresh new flooring, new paint, updated carpets, and tasteful décor make the entire space feel both welcoming and refreshed. We loved the nice comfortable Bar, too. The Lodge is beautifully maintained and serves as a vital community hub. In addition to hosting Elks meetings, the space is available for rent by other local organizations and community groups -- including the Kiwanis and Lion's Clubs -- making it an ideal cost-effective venue for gatherings, fundraisers, and celebrations. It's a resource that should remain top of mind for anyone looking for a well-appointed space to rent for parties, meetings and more. There's plenty of parking, which makes hosting events easy and convenient. And one of the standout features is the nice-sized stage, perfect for live entertainment, speakers, ceremonies, and performances. Whether it's a band night, awards event, or community presentation, the Lodge provides a welcoming and functional space for it all. Every Thursday, members gather for dinner at a very reasonable cost, and the calendar is filled with engaging events -- from live band performances to social mixers and more. There's a cozy card room where members enjoy games in good company, and a rising favorite among members is Mahjong -- easy to learn, fun to play, and a great way to connect. Throughout the building, you'll find thoughtful displays that honor the history and mission of the Elks. These serve as powerful reminders of the organization's deep roots and lasting impact. The members take great pride not just in their camaraderie, but also in their dedication to service -- regularly supporting and working with other non-profits to lift up the community. At the heart of it all is the Elks' enduring motto: Elks Care. Elks Share. With over 2,200 Lodges across the country and beyond, this isn't just a saying -- it's a way of life. The Elks are a living example of how kindness, generosity, and community spirit can thrive in today's world. They're more than a fraternal organization -- they're a national treasure, providing support, connection, and service in every corner of the country. If you've never visited an Elks Lodge, you're missing out on a slice of Americana where everyone is welcome, and the bonds of community still mean everything. Interested in joining? It's fun for all ages and a great place to meet your friends and family, too! Membership is not only meaningful -- it's incredibly cost-effective. The annual dues are surprisingly affordable, especially when you consider all the fellowship, fun, and opportunities to give back. Be sure to check it out!

When he called and asked if I had ever been here, I responded and said no-to which he added that it was understandable being that "Joe Blow" can't just come in here and plop down for a bite-you need to be invited by a current resident and be placed on the guest list. If you want to be transported back in time, specifically either the 70s or 80s on a Friday night, you'll definitely want to come in and dine. The crowd is a nice mix of resonance or friends and or associates of the residents who live there. And while it's certainly not an assisted living home, the average age of the crowd when we attended was certainly on the north side of 60, and for over half of them pushing 70 easily. The ambiance, physical structure, layout & features (both overt and subtle) of the Dockside restaurant mirrored that (era/time/age of the location in every way-and in this particular case I would argue that's a good thing. My guest and I both went ahead and ordered the chicken tender salad, with him opting for blue cheese and myself going with ranch for the dressing. We both agreed it was better than average. Since I don't do alcohol, I didn't order any drinks, but he stated the two drinks he did order were excellent. All in all a great experience at The Dockside restaurant here at the Marina City Club restaurant where depending on what day and time you arrive, you will be treated to some jazz, old disco, or any combination thereof. If you want to go back in time a bit, it's a nice place to visit if you can get on the guest list.
