About Us

Outdoor area with picnic tables and a playground in the background.

The Edison Elks Lodge at 375 Old Post Road has built a reputation that shows up clearly in the reviews: first-birthday parties that go off without a hitch, bartenders who make strangers feel like regulars, and a hall that stays genuinely clean from floor to ceiling. That combination is harder to find than it sounds, and it's why members and guests keep coming back.

The lodge sits on a well-traveled stretch of Old Post Road with parking that can actually handle a crowd, which matters when you're hosting a room full of family and friends. The bar area is bright and well-kept, the hall is sized right for everything from a milestone birthday to a community dinner, and the staff, including John on the events side, are known for making the logistics easy on whoever is planning the gathering.

Beyond the event space, this is a working Elks lodge, which means it's rooted in the BPOE's century-old mission of charitable giving, community service, and looking out for veterans. The 4.6-star rating across 71 reviews reflects a place that takes both its fraternal obligations and its hospitality seriously.

What We Offer

The lodge's event hall is the centerpiece for private bookings. It scales comfortably for birthday parties, anniversary dinners, retirement celebrations, and organization meetings, with a setup that reviewers consistently describe as clean, nicely appointed, and easy to move around in.

The bar operates with a staff that earns compliments almost every time someone writes a review, friendly, welcoming, and priced fairly. Whether you're booking the full hall or stopping in for a drink after a lodge meeting, the experience is consistent.

For Elks members, the lodge also serves as a hub for charitable programs, youth initiatives, and veterans' services that are core to the national organization's mission. Membership opens access to lodge events, the bar, and the broader network of Elks lodges across the country, including reciprocal visiting privileges at thousands of other chapters.

"We had our sons first birthday party here. It was great. Everything was clean, the people were friendly and very helpful. I would recommend this place for a party 100%. John was very easy to work with and was very responsible. Our transaction was smooth and uneventful. Again, this place is perfect for a shower, birthday party, etc etc."

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
