On Somers Point Road in Egg Harbor Township, Lodge #2563 has built a reputation that shows up in its reviews: a scholarship buffet that drew a full house, Walter Trout performing live on that same stage, and weddings where bartender Terry kept the open bar running smooth for 50 guests. This is not a dusty clubhouse. It is a working venue where real things happen.

The lodge earns its 4.6-star rating the old-fashioned way, by showing up consistently. Wednesday dinners run $12, bar snacks start at $6, and the bar stocks plenty of drink options at prices that do not require a second mortgage. Members and guests alike keep coming back because the room feels right and the people running it actually care.

Beyond the bar and the buffet line, Lodge #2563 carries the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks mission forward through scholarships like the one honoring Jamie, community fundraisers, and veterans' programs. South Jersey has no shortage of places to spend a Friday night. This one gives you a reason to come back the following Wednesday.

What We Offer

Hall rentals are the anchor offering here. The space accommodates weddings, milestone celebrations, and private parties with flexible bar packages including open bar options. Recent couples have called it a great value, especially with staff who treat your event like their own.

Weekly Wednesday dinners keep the calendar full for members and guests. A $12 plate gets you a real meal, not a snack, and the $6-plus bar snacks pair well with whatever is on tap. Live entertainment has included national touring blues acts, so check the events calendar before you assume it is a quiet night.

Membership in the Elks Lodge opens doors to a broader network of community service, scholarship programs, and social events across the country. Whether you are a longtime member or just discovered the lodge through a wedding or a concert, the doors at 1815 Somers Point Rd are open.

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
