About Us

The Jamestown Elks Lodge occupies one of the most striking buildings in downtown Jamestown, a grand old mansion on East 4th Street whose original furnishings still fill the rooms. Walk through the door and you immediately sense that the architecture and the organization grew up together. The ornate woodwork, the high ceilings, the bar with its familiar faces, all of it reflects a place that has been cared for rather than just maintained.

Visitors consistently comment on two things: the beauty of the rooms and the warmth of the people inside them. The bartenders know their regulars, the members make newcomers feel at home, and the 4.7-star rating from reviewers is the kind of score earned one genuine interaction at a time. This is not a relic kept behind glass. It is a working lodge where BPOE values, community service, and a good evening out exist side by side.

What We Offer

The lodge functions as a private membership club with a full-service bar, event spaces, and a packed calendar of member activities. The mansion's original rooms provide a setting that no modern banquet hall can replicate, making it a sought-after venue for private events, celebrations, and lodge-hosted fundraisers that benefit Jamestown-area charities.

Beyond the bar and the event rooms, membership opens access to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks network nationwide, youth scholarship programs, and veteran support initiatives. Whether you are exploring membership for the first time or a longtime Elk visiting from out of town, the lodge on East 4th Street extends a genuine welcome.

"Very nice time and friendly bartender and friendly local members. The lodge is located in an old mansion and the rooms are beautiful. Many of the furnishings came with the building when it was purchased. There kitchen is only open for special occasions like their st. Patrick's day corned beef special which sounded really awesome. We will return the next time we are in Jamestown. Check out the ceiling in the front room that used to be the library."

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.
