Pull up a stool at Tampa Elks Lodge #708 and you will quickly understand why travelers from lodges across the country make a point of stopping here. A party of six from Lodge 401, passing through on their way to a cruise, walked in as strangers and left feeling like regulars. That kind of hospitality is not accidental. It is the culture that Lodge #708 has built at 3616 W Gandy Blvd, one handshake at a time.

The lodge carries decades of Elks history on its walls, and members are genuinely proud to share it. Visiting brothers from St. Albans #1566 called it a home away from home, and that phrase keeps appearing in reviews because it keeps being true. The bar is well set up, the space has character, and the people who gather here have real stories to tell.

With a 4.9-star rating across 91 reviews, Tampa Elks Lodge #708 is one of the most consistently praised fraternal lodges in the Southeast. Whether you are a longtime Tampa member or an Elks brother rolling into town, the door on Gandy is open.

What We Offer

Lodge #708 offers the full range of fraternal amenities that Elks members expect, delivered with the warm Tampa spirit that keeps people coming back. The bar is a genuine gathering spot, well-stocked and staffed by people who know their regulars. Social events, lodge dinners, and member meetings fill the calendar year-round.

Beyond the social hall, the lodge is deeply invested in the community programs that define the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: scholarship programs for local youth, veterans support initiatives, and charitable giving that puts real money back into the Tampa Bay area. Visiting Elks traveling through Florida will find reciprocal privileges and a warm reception.

Meeting rooms are available for lodge business and committee gatherings. The lodge actively encourages new membership inquiries from Tampa-area residents who share Elks values of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity.

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
