About Us

At 19 Liberty Street, the Bath Elks Lodge has been a fixture in Steuben County long before craft cocktails and loyalty apps existed. Walk through the door and you'll find something harder to come by than a good drink: a room full of people who actually know your name. Bartenders like Dave set the tone, friendly, attentive, and genuinely glad you showed up. The 4.6-star rating from members and guests reflects exactly that kind of atmosphere.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and this lodge carries that tradition forward through scholarship programs, community fundraisers, and the kind of camaraderie you can't manufacture. The Lodge actively participates in the national Elks scholarship program, helping local students access higher education funding every year.

A note for prospective visitors: the club operates on a membership model, so your best first step is arriving with a current member. Once you're in, you'll understand why so many regulars keep coming back to Bath, NY week after week.

What We Offer

The Bath Elks Lodge offers a full-service bar with a welcoming atmosphere that regulars describe as genuinely friendly rather than performatively so. Grab a seat, strike up a conversation, and let Dave or another familiar face take care of you. Events rotate through the calendar year, covering everything from holiday gatherings to community fundraisers that put real money back into Bath and the surrounding region.

Membership unlocks the full experience: access to lodge events, participation in charitable programs, and eligibility to sponsor guests. The Lodge also connects members to the Elks National Foundation scholarship pipeline, a meaningful benefit for families with college-bound students. Whether you're a longtime Elk or a neighbor curious about joining, the first conversation costs nothing.

Private event hosting is available for members, making the lodge a practical venue for milestone celebrations, club meetings, and community organizing in a setting that already feels like home.

The Order · Since 1868

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.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
