About Us

Elks Lodge — photo 1

Friday nights on State Street have a rhythm that regulars know well. The smell of fresh-fried fish drifts out of the kitchen, the bar is stocked and ready, and the popcorn machine is never empty. Auburn's Elks Lodge has earned a 4.7-star reputation the old-fashioned way: homemade food, a clean house, and people who actually mean it when they say hello.

The building itself sets the tone. A full bar, well-kept facilities, and a dining room that fills up fast on event nights. The Friday Fish Fry is a local institution, and the Chicken BBQ Sundays are the kind of meal people plan their weekends around. First-timers are warned: pre-order the BBQ or risk missing out entirely. It sells out. Every time.

This is a lodge that earns its stars from the people who show up week after week, not from a marketing campaign. From Hoffmann hot dogs and chops on bar-food nights to the full spread on special Sundays, the kitchen turns out honest, satisfying food. The BPOE tradition of service and fellowship is alive and well at 314 State St.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a rotating food program that keeps members and guests coming back on a regular schedule. Friday Fish Fry is the anchor of the week, drawing a crowd that knows good homemade cooking when they taste it. Sunday events rotate between Chicken BBQ and other specials, with the BBQ being the clear crowd favorite. Pre-ordering on BBQ Sundays is strongly recommended since supply runs out before the evening does.

Beyond the kitchen, the full bar is stocked and staffed, the common areas are clean and comfortable, and the popcorn machine is a beloved constant. On lighter nights, bar food, Hoffmann franks, and chops fill the menu. The lodge also hosts private events and community gatherings, making it a go-to venue for Auburn, NY groups looking for a reliable, affordable space with real character.

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
