About Us

A lively gathering inside the Elks Lodge with people socializing.
A lively gathering inside the Elks Lodge with people socializing.

On a tucked-away stretch of East Pennsylvania Avenue, the Towson Elks Lodge has been doing something most venues can't fake: building real community. Pull into the parking lot, walk through the door, and you're immediately somewhere that has a history, regulars who know each other's names, and a bar that earns its keep.

The Lodge runs a packed events calendar that draws crowds far beyond its membership. Jazz in the Backyard has become a signature annual event, pulling jazz fans under the outdoor tent for an afternoon of live music, open air, and cold drinks. The Moe Gardner Mixtape Release brought a different crowd entirely, and that's the point. This is a space where Towson's community actually shows up.

The outdoor tented area with tables and a grill, the full-service bar, and the clean, well-maintained facilities make this one of the more underrated gathering spots in Baltimore County. With a 4.3-star rating from guests who clearly come back, the Lodge delivers the kind of experience that's hard to find and easy to love.

What We Offer

The Towson Elks Lodge offers a full bar stocked and staffed for everything from casual weeknight visits to large private events. The outdoor tented area with tables and a grill extends the experience outside, making it a natural fit for summer gatherings, cookouts, and ticketed events.

Beyond the bar and outdoor space, the Lodge hosts live music events, community fundraisers, and private rentals for members and affiliated organizations. Event parking is on-site and plentiful, which matters more than people admit. The Lodge also supports the national BPOE mission through charitable programs, scholarship funds, and veteran support initiatives that put real dollars back into the Towson community.

Membership opens the door to all of it. Whether you're attending a one-off event like Jazz in the Backyard or joining as a member to access the Lodge year-round, there's a clear reason this address keeps showing up on people's calendars.

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.
