About Us

Outdoor event setup with a bounce house and tent at Elks Lodge.

Ask anyone who has walked through the doors of Bangor Elks Lodge for the first time, and they will tell you the same thing: the welcome is immediate and genuine. Guests have described the greeting on their very first evening as something they have never experienced at any other lodge in the country. That reputation does not happen by accident. It is built one handshake, one shared meal, and one community project at a time.

The lodge sits at 108 Odlin Road in Bangor, a familiar landmark to locals and a pleasant surprise to traveling Elks members who stop in while passing through Maine. The main hall has hosted everything from wedding receptions that guests call the best day of their lives to busy card shows that draw collectors from across the region. The space is adaptable, the staff is attentive, and the pricing is honest.

With a 4.5-star rating across more than 150 reviews, the lodge earns its standing through consistent hospitality rather than flashy promises. Members and visitors alike return because the atmosphere feels earned, not manufactured. This is a place where people actually know your name by the second visit.

What We Offer

Bangor Elks Lodge offers far more than a membership card. The lodge provides a full-service event venue capable of hosting weddings, receptions, card shows, fundraisers, and private celebrations at competitive prices that make planning straightforward rather than stressful.

Regular dinners bring the community together around the table, and the lodge's bar and lounge give members a comfortable place to unwind after a long day. Ample parking on the Odlin Road property means guests arrive relaxed rather than frustrated. The lodge also supports a full calendar of fraternal programs tied to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks national mission, including youth initiatives, veterans support, and charitable giving throughout the greater Bangor area.

Traveling Elks members are always welcome to visit with their membership card in hand. Whether you are attending an event or simply stopping in for dinner, the lodge extends the same warm reception it has become known for across the state.

"The most incredible Elks Lodge we have ever visited. The outpouring welcomes we received the first night when we went over to the Lodge for dinner was amazing. Never have we felt so welcomed. The Lodge has nearly 1,200 members, and they are very active in community support programs. An amazing Lodge, and one we would join in a heartbeat if we lived in this area. Get involved if you live in the Bangor area,"

"We visited the lodge while on an RV trip through Maine. As noted in other reviews, what a warm and welcoming lodge. The activity in this lodge reminded me of the old days in the lodge in which I grew up. The parking lot was full, there were tables of people everywhere, and everyone was having a good time. We sat at the bar, had a few drinks and met some very interesting people, some local, and some from other lodges and states. If you're an Elk and in the area looking for a place to plant your fundament for a few hours, by all means stop by lodge #244."

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
