Elks Lodge 1812

Don’t know why nobody has reviewed since there’s been check-​ins. I was at a private function at the outdoor area. It is a huge covered space with concrete floor, easily 120 by 50. Plenty of room for a combination of band, dance floor and table seating. Easy private access from the expansive parking lot, bypassing the building. The wall along the building has a full bar with seating and has multiple beers on tap, including Newcastle. I was told there was an even more elaborate bar just inside the door. This same wall provides access to the facility kitchens for food prep. Along the rear of the patio area is also a large outdoor restaurant style kitchen with BBQ, flat tops and prep areas as well as a large serving bar servicing the covered patio area.
With the mild climate we enjoy in SD, thus is a great venue for functions and one can raise hell without bothering a soul. With the concrete floor, spills aren’t a concern and there’s nothing to damage, just hose it down when done!
