About Us

Since its charter, the York Elks Lodge at 223 N. George Street has been one of the most active fraternal organizations in south-central Pennsylvania. Walk through the front door and you'll find the kind of place where the bartender already knows your order, the room fills up on dinner nights, and someone at the next table is organizing a food drive. That 4.4-star rating from 57 members and guests isn't an accident.

The Lodge runs deeper than the bar and dining room. Downstairs, bowling lanes, a pool table, and a bocce ball court turn any weeknight into a social occasion. Upstairs, the kitchen fires up meals almost every evening, making this a genuine neighborhood anchor rather than a once-a-year event hall.

Community service sits at the core of everything here. From Hero Dinners honoring local first responders to scholarship programs and charitable fundraisers, the Lodge channels its membership into real, visible impact across York County. If you've been looking for a place to plug in, this is it.

What We Offer

The Lodge offers a full-service bar staffed by bartenders members regularly describe as the friendliest in York. Food service runs nearly every night of the week, ranging from casual comfort fare to special event menus that draw regulars back year after year.

Downstairs, the recreation level keeps things lively with bowling, billiards, and bocce ball. Private event space is available for member gatherings, celebrations, and Lodge-sponsored functions. Membership unlocks access to all of it, plus the broader network of BPOE lodges nationwide.

Special events throughout the year include Hero Dinners saluting local veterans and first responders, holiday gatherings, and community fundraisers that have made the Lodge a fixture in York civic life for generations.

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
