About Us

The BPO Elks Lodge on North Chestnut Street has been a cornerstone of Barnesville life for generations. On any given evening you might catch a band banquet filling the hall with music, a table of members ordering crab cakes and baked potatoes after a long week, or a committee planning the Lodge's next community project. The 4.7-star rating from members and guests says it plainly: this place delivers.

What sets this Lodge apart is the combination of genuine hospitality and real purpose. The Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and the Barnesville chapter carries that tradition without turning it into a museum piece. Events are lively, the kitchen puts out honest, satisfying food, and the bar pours cold drinks at a fair price. New members quickly discover that the friendships formed here outlast any single event.

The Lodge also channels its energy outward. From youth scholarships to veterans' programs, BPOE Barnesville puts dues and fundraising dollars to work in Guernsey County. Joining isn't just joining a club; it's investing in the community you already call home.

What We Offer

Friday and Saturday dinners are a genuine draw, with crowd favorites like crab cakes, baked potatoes, and fresh salads that keep members coming back week after week. The bar stocks a solid selection of domestic and craft beers, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that two hours can disappear without noticing.

The Lodge's event space handles everything from band banquets and holiday parties to awards ceremonies and private receptions. Tables, a stage area, and an experienced events committee mean organizers aren't doing it alone. Rental inquiries are welcome from both members and approved community groups.

Beyond the dining room, membership unlocks access to Elks National reciprocal privileges at lodges across the country, youth scholarship programs, and regular social events throughout the year. Whether you're new to Barnesville or a lifelong resident, the Lodge gives you a reason to show up.

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
