About Us

On North Broadway Street in Peru, Indiana, the Elks Lodge has been doing things the same way for decades: pour a cold one, set up the dart boards, and let the regulars do the rest. The building carries its years honestly, and members wouldn't have it any other way. This is a place where the barstools are worn in for a reason.

Wednesday nights belong to Euchre on the 2nd and 4th of every month, and the whole basement opens up for darters without anyone breathing down their necks. The bar keeps prices honest, the pizza is worth ordering, and the crowd that shows up most nights has been coming long enough to know everyone's name.

The lodge also runs steak dinner fundraisers that draw folks from across Miami County. These events fund the Elks' charitable work in the community, from youth programs to veteran support. If you want to know what's on the calendar, the best move is to stop in or ask a member.

What We Offer

The lodge at 122 N Broadway runs a full bar with some of the most reasonable drink prices in Peru. Beer, mixed drinks, and the kind of no-fuss atmosphere that makes a Tuesday night feel like it's worth showing up for.

Regular programming includes Euchre nights every other Wednesday, open dart nights in the basement, and periodic steak dinner fundraisers open to members and guests. The kitchen turns out solid pizza, making it easy to settle in for the evening rather than eating before you arrive.

Membership with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens the door to a national network of lodges, plus the satisfaction of supporting local charitable giving. Prospective members are encouraged to attend an event and get a feel for the place before applying.

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
