Since 1898, Elks Lodge #409 has brought Springfield neighbors together for friendship, service, and unforgettable moments at our Bennett Street home.
Step through our doors at 2223 East Bennett Street and feel the warmth that 142 five-star reviewers rave about. Our members don't just visit—they belong. Two sparkling pools beckon on Missouri summer days while our spacious event hall hosts everything from shrimp scampi dinners to live music nights that keep the dance floor moving until close. The bar stays lively with ice-cold drafts under five dollars and bartenders who greet you by name on your second round. Whether you're a longtime Elk or considering membership, you'll find genuine conversation, card games in the corner, and that rare small-town friendliness thriving right here in the heart of Springfield. Our lodge isn't just a building—it's where strangers become neighbors and neighbors become family.
