The Lodge offers full bar service with skilled bartenders who take their craft seriously, whether you're ordering a classic cocktail or a cold draft. The food program punches well above what you'd expect from a private club, with members consistently calling it amazing and the prices consistently described as reasonable, a combination that's genuinely rare.
Beyond the bar and kitchen, Lodge 1860 hosts member events, community fundraisers, and charitable initiatives that put real dollars back into Bristol and the surrounding area. The Elks nationally direct millions toward veterans' programs, scholarship funds, and youth activities, and the local lodge carries that mission forward at the neighborhood level.
Membership opens the door to all of it: the waterfront dining room, the social events calendar, the sense of belonging to something that has mattered in American communities since 1868. Prospective members can visit the lodge website at elks.org to learn about joining or contact the lodge directly to ask about upcoming events.
