About Us

People enjoying a poolside gathering with colorful umbrellas.

At 2223 E Bennett Street, Springfield Elks Lodge #409 has been doing something quietly remarkable: turning strangers into regulars and regulars into lifelong friends. Members who visit from out of town say they look forward to coming back every single trip, and that's not an accident. The lodge runs on genuine hospitality, the kind where bartenders remember your drink order before you sit down.

The facility gives members plenty of reasons to show up. Two pools, a full event calendar, and enough open space to host everything from casual Friday nights to organized charity fundraisers. The kitchen punches above its weight, with a rotating menu that has surprised more than a few first-timers. One recent visitor raved about the shrimp scampi served with two sides, a dish that belongs on a sit-down restaurant menu, not just a lodge kitchen.

Elks Lodge #409 is chartered under the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a national fraternal organization with deep roots in American civic life. The Springfield chapter carries that tradition forward through community service, scholarship programs, and the kind of member-to-member support that's harder and harder to find. If you're an Elk visiting from another lodge, you already know the handshake. If you're exploring membership, the welcome mat is out.

What We Offer

The lodge offers members a full slate of amenities and programming centered on three things: good drinks, good food, and good company. The bar is stocked, the draft pours are generous, and the price point keeps regulars coming back. Draft beer under $4 is a Springfield rarity, and the bartenders back it up with attentive, personable service.

Beyond the bar, Lodge #409 hosts a rotating lineup of social events, pool access for warm-weather months, and overnight camping for members passing through on the road. The dining menu changes periodically, featuring comfort-forward dishes that go well beyond typical bar food. Private event space is available for Elks-related functions and member gatherings.

For members in good standing from any Elks lodge nationwide, the doors at Bennett Street are open. Community outreach, youth scholarship programs, and charitable initiatives round out the lodge's mission and give members tangible ways to give back to the Springfield area.

"Nice friendly people and bartenders. Draft beer for $4 or less. They had a pretty nice menu for food last night also. Had the shrimp scampi, it was delicious with two sides. Camping for one night was $20, can't beat that. Will come back here for sure."

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
