About Us

A notice about cancelled fish fry dinners at the Elks Lodge.

On Cortland Street in Homer, the Elks Lodge is the kind of place where you run into someone you know every single time you walk through the door. Members come for the cheap drinks and stay for the conversation. Monday nights draw a crowd for the wings, which regulars will tell you are among the best in Cortland County. The bar keeps an expansive beer selection on hand, and the atmosphere stays low-key by design.

Beyond the bar, this lodge has a track record of showing up when it counts. Families have trusted this space for Celebrations of Life, milestone events, and community gatherings because the room is generous, the staff is genuinely helpful, and the pricing is honest. Event coordinator Tammy has earned real praise from grieving families and party planners alike for making difficult logistics feel simple.

Every year the lodge anchors Homer Winterfest, hosting steamed clams, wing-eating competitions, and raffles that bring the town together when the temperature drops. That kind of consistent community investment is why this place holds a 4.6-star rating across dozens of reviews from real Homer residents.

What We Offer

The lodge offers private event rental for memorial services, birthday parties, receptions, and community fundraisers. The main hall provides ample space for large gatherings, and the team works with hosts to make setup and coordination straightforward.

The members-only bar runs nightly with a wide draft and bottle selection at prices that respect your wallet. Monday Night Wings is a standing institution, drawing regulars who treat it like a weekly ritual. During town events like Winterfest, the lodge opens its doors wider with food stations, competitions, and raffles.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks connects you to a national fraternal network while keeping your roots firmly local. Member benefits include access to lodge facilities, discounted drinks, and the satisfaction of contributing to scholarships, veteran support, and youth programs throughout the Homer area.

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.
