About Us

Framed certificate displayed on a wall.

On a Friday night at BPO Elks Lodge 86, the smell of home-cooked food drifts through the dining room before you even hang up your coat. Reviewers consistently call it warm and cozy, and that's not an accident. It's the result of generations of members who've treated this hall like an extension of their own kitchen and living room. The lodge sits on North 25th Street in Terre Haute, Indiana, and it has been a fixture of this city's social fabric for well over a century.

Elks Lodge 86 is part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of America's oldest and most respected fraternal organizations. But the national pedigree is almost beside the point here. What keeps people coming back is the local character: the regulars who know your name, the committees that organize charitable drives, and the kind of easy camaraderie you simply can't manufacture. A 4.5-star rating from members and guests says the experience lives up to the reputation.

What We Offer

The Friday night dinner is the social centerpiece of the week at Lodge 86. Members and their guests gather for a hot, affordable meal that feels nothing like a cafeteria line. Think comfort food done right, served in a room full of people who are genuinely glad to see each other.

Beyond the weekly dinner, the lodge hosts member events, private parties, and fundraisers that benefit Terre Haute families throughout the year. The bar and lounge offer a relaxed spot to catch up after a long week, and the hall is available for special occasions that call for more than a restaurant banquet room. Membership opens the door to all of it, along with access to Elks lodges across the country whenever you travel.

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.
