About Us

The Bristol Elks Lodge at 126 South St has been hiding in plain sight, and locals who finally walk through the door can't believe what they've been missing. Cheap drinks. Friendly regulars who actually talk to you. Pool tables that see real action. It's the kind of place that earns a 4.5-star rating not through marketing, but through word of mouth from people who stumbled in and never wanted to leave.

What sets this lodge apart from a standard bar or social club is the range. On any given visit you might rack up a game of pool, watch a slot car race unfold on the track, or simply settle into a seat and let the pace of the room slow you down. The hall itself is well-sized, comfortable, and carries the kind of lived-in warmth that newer venues spend a fortune trying to manufacture.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has served American communities since 1868, and the Bristol chapter carries that tradition forward with a decidedly low-key, unpretentious energy. This is not a stuffy private club. It's a gathering spot where Bristol residents come to unwind, connect, and enjoy an affordable evening without any fuss.

What We Offer

The lodge offers pool tables available for members and guests, giving you a proper place to shoot a competitive game or a casual round with friends. The bar is stocked and priced to keep you comfortable, not to pad a check, which is exactly what regulars rave about.

Slot car racing is a genuine draw here, one of those unexpected features that turns a quick visit into a full evening. Events and gatherings are held in the main hall, which members describe as just the right size for a crowd that actually wants to talk to each other rather than shout over a massive room.

Membership in the Elks Lodge also connects you to a national network of charitable programs, veteran support initiatives, and community outreach efforts. If you've been curious about joining or simply want to visit for an event, reaching out through the national site at elks.org is the best starting point.

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
