About Us

Exterior view of a historic building with a red door.

The Elks Lodge at 35 E North St is the kind of place St. Clair residents talk about when they talk about this town. Rated 4.6 stars across 76 reviews, it has earned that reputation the old-fashioned way: corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day, bingo nights that pack the hall, and a bar that regulars describe as genuinely beautiful. This is not a rented event space that happens to have a flag out front.

The lodge runs a newly renovated addition built for private events, and members take real pride in how it looks. Renters consistently note they get their deposits back because the space is treated with respect, and the staff holds up their end of the bargain too. That mutual accountability says a lot about the culture here.

Beyond the parties and the pints, the St. Clair Elks are active contributors to local charities and civic causes. When something needs doing in Franklin County, this lodge tends to show up. That combination of a welcoming social scene and genuine community investment is exactly why members keep saying they love this place.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar that anchors the social calendar, open to members and their guests for casual evenings or organized club events. The banquet hall seats large groups and has hosted everything from holiday celebrations to fundraising dinners, with a layout that works for seated meals, dancing, or bingo.

The newly built event addition is available for private rentals, making it a practical choice for birthday parties, family reunions, corporate gatherings, and community fundraisers in the St. Clair area. Tables, chairs, and cleanup expectations are clearly outlined so renters know exactly what they are booking.

Seasonal events like the FMB St. Patrick's Party draw packed crowds and give the lodge its reputation as the most lively gathering spot in town. Members also benefit from the national Elks network, scholarship programs, and veterans outreach initiatives that run throughout the year.

"Recently booked the new addition for an event, was told I’d receive my deposit back as long as everything was cleaned up - it was in fact cleaned up , tables were wiped down nothing was left behind and trash was also taken out to there dumpster , the bartender on duty assured me that everything looked great and I’d get my deposit back, I forgot to get my deposit before I left. I went back the next day to get my deposit and they were extremely rude, had said that it was not cleaned up properly, however it was when I left ( assured it was by the bartender) and they would not be giving my deposit back because they claimed it was left a mess- now my event was over fairly early , this meaning it is open to the public because it is also a bar and anything could of happened after I left. Would not recommend booking anything there."

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.
