Our lodge features a full bar with special members prices, a dining lounge, two full commercial kitchens, a large banquet facility that can host nearly 200 individuals, two pool tables, and a shuffleboard table. Monthly social activities include special dinners and activities. Members are welcome to use the abudnant spaces, which include room for game nights, get-togethers with friends, and other activities.

The Elks are known for our community service, especially for children and veterans. We feature annual youth contests in free throw shooting and soccer skills, an annual Lids for Kids Safety event in which neighborhood children receive free bicycle helmets and learn about bike safety, an annual Trunk or Treat event at Halloween, and much more.  New London is the proud home of Whaling Helping Whalers, a 501c3 organization that feeds the needy in New London.  

With membership to the New London Elks, you gain access to not only our lodge in downtown New London, but also the nearly 2,000 other Elks lodges including nearby Westbrook with their pristine beach on the Long Island Sound and our sister lodge in Groton, featuring spectacular views of the water from Long Point. Park at the lodge and you’re within walking distance to downtown and the Garde Theater; we’re just one block away from Star Street.

Each month a variety of events are offered including dinners, karaoke nights, game nights, and more.  You get to choose how involved you are in the activities of the lodge.  

Membership is just $130 per year, a little more than $10 a month, paid yearly on April 1st.  Members may bring guests to the lodge as well. Your membership and patronage of the lodge helps us support our community through our many events, fundraisers, and donations to our community.  To join the lodge, first email our Secretary and she will guide you through the process which includes an interview and orientation.
