About Us

Entrance of Old Town Elks Lodge #1287 with blue awning.

Forty-three miles up the Penobscot from Bangor, Old Town Elks Lodge #1287 sits on Fourth Street as one of the Penobscot Valley's most dependable gathering spots. Members and guests rate it 4.5 stars, and the reviews tell you exactly why: friendly faces, a relaxed atmosphere, and the kind of after-work beer that actually helps you unwind.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been one of America's largest fraternal organizations since 1868, and Lodge #1287 carries that mission forward every week in Old Town, Maine. The work here is real: scholarship funds for local students, veterans support, community charity drives, and youth programs that give kids in the Penobscot region something to believe in.

Step through the door and you find a place that doesn't try too hard. The staff knows your name, the regulars make room at the bar, and the conversation flows as easily as the drinks. This is a lodge where "good cause" and "good time" are the same sentence.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar where members and their guests can wind down after work or catch up with neighbors on a Friday night. It's the kind of spot that rewards showing up regularly, because the community you build here is the whole point.

Beyond the bar, Lodge #1287 hosts banquets, private events, and member meetings in a space that can accommodate gatherings of all sizes. Charitable fundraisers, holiday parties, and civic events rotate through the calendar year-round, giving members consistent reasons to get involved.

Membership in the Order of Elks unlocks reciprocal privileges at over 2,000 lodges nationwide, meaning your card from Old Town works in Portland, Phoenix, or anywhere else you travel. Local dues support the scholarship and veterans programs that make this lodge more than a social club.

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.
