About Us

The Lorain Elks Lodge at 203 W 6th St has earned a 4.7-star reputation by doing something rare: making every single night feel like it was planned just for you. Ask anyone who caught the David Morales comedy show here, and they'll tell you the same thing: the drinks were cold, the crowd was warm, and the laughs didn't stop until well after midnight.

Halloween at this Lodge is, by all accounts, the best party in the county. Costumes, competition, and a crowd that genuinely shows up. It's the kind of event people plan their October around, year after year. That reputation doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the members and staff treat every gathering like it matters.

Beyond the big events, the Lodge offers one of the most versatile private event spaces on the Lorain lakefront corridor. Graduation parties, family reunions, and milestone celebrations have all found a home in these rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped, the hall is spacious, and the bathrooms are kept clean enough that guests actually comment on them in reviews.

What We Offer

Hosting a graduation party? The main event hall seats a crowd comfortably, with plenty of tables and chairs already in place, a roomy kitchen stocked with everything you need, and a setup that won't fight you when you're trying to make the room look right. Members and non-members alike have used this space for everything from quinceañeras to retirement sendoffs.

The Lodge's event calendar runs year-round with ticketed shows, seasonal parties, and member socials. The Halloween bash draws the biggest turnout of the year, but comedy nights, holiday dinners, and community fundraisers fill the calendar between October and December. Check the board or ask at the bar for what's coming up next.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens additional doors: access to the lounge, member pricing on events, and a direct connection to one of America's oldest fraternal organizations doing real charitable work right here in Lorain, Ohio.

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.
