About Us

Exterior view of the Elks Lodge building and signage.

The Elks Lodge 1769 on Dellwood City Road has been a fixture in Waynesville, NC long enough that locals don't need to explain what it is. They just say, "Meet me at the Elks." Pull into the parking lot on a Friday night and you'll hear it before you see it: live music spilling out, laughter from the bar, the low hum of people who actually know each other's names.

Inside, the prices are honest, the chicken and burgers are cooked right, and nobody's rushing you out the door. Rehearsal dinners happen here. Youth baseball games happen here. Karaoke nights that go longer than anyone planned happen here. That range tells you something real about what this place is: a community hall that also happens to pour a cold drink at a fair price.

Membership opens doors to more than the bar, but even guests who wander in for the first time tend to leave with a story. With a 4.6-star rating across 51 reviews, the people who've been here speak for themselves.

What We Offer

The Lodge hosts live music and karaoke on a weekly basis, making it one of the most reliably entertaining spots in Haywood County without a cover charge that'll make you wince. The bar keeps things simple and affordable, the kind of place where you order without checking your wallet first.

For private events, the event space here has hosted everything from rehearsal dinners to community gatherings. Families have called it "perfect" for the laid-back pace it brings to high-stress occasions. The youth baseball field on the property is a safe, well-kept space where kids can play without parents worrying.

Members of BPOE Lodge 1769 gain access to a broader network of Elks programs including scholarships, veterans' services, and charitable giving that reaches well beyond these walls.

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
