The lodge offers a full-service bar open to members and eligible guests, a setting that earns compliments for being friendly without being flashy. Events rotate through the calendar regularly, from holiday gatherings to community fundraisers, and the staff running those events consistently draws praise for being organized and attentive.
Lodge 1493 also extends genuine hospitality to travelers in a way few establishments do. Self-contained travelers have been welcomed to park on the property overnight, a small gesture that speaks volumes about the character of the membership. Whether you're attending a ticketed event, joining as a new member, or simply exploring what the Elks are about, the door on Wolcott Ave is one worth opening.
Membership unlocks access to the lodge's full calendar of events, community initiatives, scholarship programs supporting local students, and veteran outreach efforts coordinated through the national BPOE organization.
