About Us

Pull up to 97 Atlantic Road on a clear day and you'll understand immediately why members keep coming back. The Gloucester Elks Lodge #892 sits right along the Massachusetts coastline, where the Atlantic stretches out beyond the windows and every gathering feels less like a meeting and more like a reward. Reviewers consistently call it one of the most beautifully situated lodges in New England, and it's hard to argue.

Founded as part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge #892 has spent well over a century weaving itself into the fabric of Gloucester's working waterfront community. The members here aren't strangers shaking hands at a podium. They're neighbors, fishermen, veterans, and volunteers who show up for each other year after year.

The lodge has hosted everything from community vaccination clinics to training seminars to overnight RV guests passing through on the open road. That kind of easy generosity, welcoming whoever shows up at the door, is what earns a 4.8-star rating across 131 reviews. This is a place built on genuine hospitality, not a script.

What We Offer

Lodge #892 offers members and guests a full range of fraternal programming, community events, and facilities rooted in Elks tradition. The hall is available for private events, civic gatherings, and organizational trainings, all with sweeping ocean views that make any occasion feel elevated.

Active members benefit from a tight-knit social calendar that includes charitable fundraisers, veteran support initiatives, youth programs, and holiday celebrations. The lodge regularly opens its doors to the broader Gloucester community, partnering with local organizations for public-service events. The spacious parking area even accommodates RV travelers looking for a safe, welcoming overnight stop along the coastal route.

Whether you're exploring Elks membership, booking the hall for a function, or attending a community event, Lodge #892 delivers the rare combination of a storied institution and a genuinely warm welcome.

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
