About Us

A lively interior of Elks Lodge with decorations and people.

Ask anyone who has pulled up a stool at the Elks Lodge in Parsons and they will tell you the same thing: the bartender knows her craft, the potato skins are worth the drive, and the crowd makes you feel like you have been coming here for years even if it is your first visit. That 4.7-star rating from real locals is not an accident.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been part of American community life since 1868, and this Parsons lodge carries that tradition forward in a distinctly Tennessee way. Laid-back and unpretentious, it is the kind of place where a Friday steak dinner turns into a three-hour conversation with people who genuinely want to know your name.

Non-members are welcome when accompanied by a member, so if you have a friend or neighbor who belongs, take them up on that standing invitation. Once you see what this lodge is about, you may just decide to join.

What We Offer

The lodge runs a full-service bar staffed by bartenders who take pride in their pour and their conversation. The kitchen turns out crowd favorites that go well beyond typical bar food. The steak dinner has earned its own reputation around Decatur County, and the potato skins have become the stuff of local legend among regulars.

Beyond food and drink, the lodge hosts regular member events, community fundraisers, and charitable programs that put real dollars back into Parsons, TN and the surrounding area. Pool tables, good company, and a room that never feels rushed round out the experience.

Members gain access to all lodge amenities, voting rights on lodge decisions, and eligibility for Elks national scholarship and assistance programs. Guest privileges are extended through sponsoring members, making it easy to experience the lodge before committing to membership.

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
