Discover camaraderie, great food, and community spirit at the historic Elks Lodge on State Street since 1902
For over a century, the Elks Lodge at 314 State Street has been Auburn's premier gathering place where neighbors become family. Step inside our beautifully maintained historic building and you'll find more than just a club—you'll discover a vibrant community where Friday fish fries draw crowds from across Cayuga County and Sunday chicken BBQs sell out faster than you can say "B.P.O.E." The smell of our signature barbecue sauce wafts through the air while members swap stories at the full-service bar, popcorn machine always popping. Whether you're a longtime Elk or visiting for the first time, the warmth of our red, white, and blue heritage creates an atmosphere where everyone belongs. From charitable events that support local veterans to weekly social gatherings that fill our hall with laughter, the Auburn Elks have been fostering fellowship, patriotism, and community service since our charter was granted. Our members take pride in maintaining our historic building to the highest standards, ensuring every visit feels like coming home to a place where friendships are forged over great food and shared values.
