About Us

The Elks Lodge at 2805 Elmwood Ave has been a fixture in Kenmore, NY for generations, and the regulars will tell you exactly why they keep coming back: good people, fair prices, and a room that feels like a second living room. This is the place where a corned beef and cabbage dinner turns into a three-hour conversation, where strangers introduced by a mutual friend end up swapping stories until closing time.

The Lodge hosts everything from casual Friday nights to milestone gatherings. High school reunions, holiday dinners, and member events fill the calendar year-round. The space has a classic, no-frills character that fits the Western New York ethos perfectly. You won't find velvet ropes or overpriced cocktails here, just an honest atmosphere where the bar is stocked, the kitchen delivers, and the crowd is genuinely friendly.

With a 4.5-star rating backed by members and guests alike, the Lodge earns its reputation one evening at a time. The standing rule against foul language keeps the environment welcoming for everyone, from longtime Elks members to first-time guests invited by a neighbor.

What We Offer

The Lodge offers a rotating calendar of community dinners that draw crowds from across Kenmore and the surrounding Buffalo suburbs. The corned beef and cabbage night has become something of a local institution, drawing rave reviews from guests who came expecting a casual meal and left genuinely impressed.

Beyond dining, the Lodge is available for private event rentals including reunions, celebrations, and organizational meetings. The bar is fully stocked and priced to reflect the Lodge's commitment to keeping things accessible for working families and retirees alike. Member programming runs throughout the year, with social nights, charitable fundraisers, and seasonal events that give the community a reason to gather.

If you are not yet a member, the Lodge welcomes guests through member sponsorship, and the membership application process is straightforward for those who want to make it a regular home base.

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
