Membership at Elks Lodge #1896 unlocks the full experience: access to the bar and dining room, covered outdoor seating perfect for warm-weather evenings on the Jersey Shore, and invitations to lodge events throughout the calendar year. The dining program covers the classics, cold drinks, satisfying food, and a relaxed pace that rewards lingering over a second round.
Beyond the social side, the lodge is an active charitable organization. The Thanksgiving turkey giveaway is one visible example, but the giving runs deeper through scholarship programs, veterans support, and community fundraisers that Elks lodges nationwide are known for. When you join, your membership dues and your bar tab both feed something larger than a night out.
The lodge also hosts private events and gatherings for members, making it a natural venue for celebrations, reunions, or any occasion that benefits from a space with real character and an attentive staff. Prospective members can inquire about the application process through the lodge directly or at elks1896.com.
