About Us

A lively outdoor event with large pumpkins and crowds of people. — Elks Lodge
A lively outdoor event with large pumpkins and crowds of people.

Every October, Circleville becomes the pumpkin capital of the world, and Elks Lodge 77 at 215 N Court St becomes one of the most welcoming stops on the strip. Visitors who duck in during the Pumpkin Show consistently remark on the hospitality, the affordable drinks, and the genuine warmth of the members who keep this place running. That reputation didn't happen overnight.

Lodge 77 is part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a fraternal organization with deep roots in American civic life. This particular chapter has served Pickaway County with a straightforward mission: look after the community, support veterans and youth programs, and give members a place to gather that feels like it actually means something.

The lodge sits right on Court Street, making it easy to find whether you're a longtime Elk or a first-time visitor curious about membership. With a 4.5-star rating across dozens of reviews, the people who walk through that door tend to come back.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full-service bar and lounge with drink prices that regulars brag about. It's the kind of place where you can grab a round without checking your wallet twice, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that strangers become regulars after one visit.

Beyond the bar, event rental space is available for gatherings of up to 100 people. Reviewers have specifically called out the value here: the cost to rent is reasonable, the amenities are solid, and the staff makes the logistics easy. Birthday parties, reunions, fundraisers, and community meetings all fit the space well.

Membership with the Elks opens additional benefits, including participation in charitable programs, veteran outreach, and youth initiatives that Lodge 77 supports throughout the year. Prospective members can stop in or visit the national lodge directory at elks.org to learn more about joining.

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.
