The Lodge functions as a full social club for BPOE members and reciprocating Elks from other chapters. The bar is the social center, stocked and staffed for casual evenings after a day on the track or out on the water. Members and guests gather here for drinks, conversation, and the kind of unhurried hospitality that is harder to find than it should be.
Beyond the bar, the Lodge supports community charitable programs that are the backbone of the Elks mission nationally. Local events, fundraisers, and member gatherings fill the calendar throughout the year. If you're visiting the Watkins Glen area and carry an Elks card, bring it. Show it at the door, introduce yourself, and the members will take it from there.
