About Us

Plaque detailing the history of Mahanoy City Elks Lodge.

The Mahanoy City Elks Lodge has been part of the fabric of this Pennsylvania coal country town for generations. The building at 135 E. Centre Street is the kind of place that stops you mid-step: high ceilings, worn woodwork, and walls that have witnessed decades of district meetings, holiday dinners, and late-night card games. Visitors consistently call it a beautiful old building with real history, and they're right.

This is a working lodge, not a museum. On any given week you might find a Meat Bingo night drawing a crowd of regulars and first-timers alike, a formal tea party with tables set and food that people genuinely rave about, or a Northeast District gathering that draws Elks members from across the region. The 4.6-star rating from members and guests reflects what the lodge actually delivers: a friendly room, a well-kept bar, and events worth showing up for.

Membership here connects you to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, while keeping you grounded in Mahanoy City itself. The causes are local. The faces are familiar. The bar stool next to yours is probably occupied by someone who grew up on the same block.

What We Offer

The lodge operates as both a members' bar and a full-service event venue, giving members a relaxed place to unwind any night of the week. The bar stocks the classics, poured without pretense, in a room where conversation flows as freely as the drinks.

Event programming is where the lodge earns its reputation. Meat Bingo nights are a crowd favorite, combining the thrill of the game with a genuinely fun atmosphere. The hall hosts tea parties, fraternal meetings, holiday celebrations, and private rentals for members looking to mark a milestone. The kitchen supports these events with food that guests describe as delicious, not catered-tray forgettable.

For Elks members traveling through the region, the lodge also serves as a recognized Northeast District meeting site, offering a dignified, well-maintained space that reflects well on the order. Whether you're a lifelong Elk or someone curious about joining, the door at 135 E. Centre Street is the right place to start.

Join the Elks
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.
