About Us

Interior view of an Elks Lodge meeting in progress.

At 27 Union Street, the Pittsfield Elks Lodge has been doing something most bars and clubs never manage: making people feel genuinely at home. Look up when you walk in and you'll see it immediately, the ceiling panels decorated with emblems from lodges across the country, a visual map of a brotherhood that stretches from Massachusetts to the Pacific Coast. Regulars call it one of the most distinctive rooms in the Berkshires, and after one visit you'll understand why.

The lodge earned a 4.7-star rating from members and guests for good reason. The bartenders know their craft and their crowd. Beer prices are famously fair, the kind of honest pricing that keeps people coming back on a Tuesday just as reliably as a Saturday. When a class of 1974 graduates chose this spot for their 50th reunion, they weren't settling. They were picking the best room in town for a night that mattered.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks means joining one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, one built around community service, charitable giving, and looking out for veterans. The Pittsfield lodge carries that mission forward every year through fundraisers, public events, and the kind of low-key camaraderie that's harder to find than it used to be.

What We Offer

The lodge is members-only most evenings, which is exactly the point. Membership gets you access to a full-service bar with some of the most competitive drink prices in Pittsfield, a welcoming lounge atmosphere, and a calendar packed with lodge events, charitable fundraisers, and social gatherings.

The event space at 27 Union Street handles everything from milestone reunions and anniversary dinners to community fundraisers open to the general public. The room has real character, the kind you can't rent from a hotel ballroom. Tables, bar service, and a crowd that knows how to celebrate, that's the package.

Beyond the social side, membership connects you to the BPOE's national network of charitable programs supporting veterans, youth scholarships, and local community initiatives. Joining the Pittsfield Elks isn't just about Friday nights. It's about belonging to something that does tangible good in the Berkshires year-round.

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
