Manchester Elks Lodge #1893 has been part of this town's fabric for well over a century. The lodge at 30 Bissell Street is the kind of place where you walk in a stranger and leave knowing half the room. Members and guests consistently remark on the warmth here, and that reputation shows in a 4.6-star rating earned across dozens of honest reviews.

The food is the real surprise for first-timers. The kitchen turns out solid, satisfying meals at prices that won't make you wince, paired with a full-service bar that keeps the atmosphere lively without being loud. Whether you're settling in for a long Tuesday night of cards or grabbing a bite before Monday Bingo, there's always something worth staying for.

This lodge runs a packed calendar of events, from holiday celebrations to community fundraisers, and it actively recruits new members who want to do more than spectate. If you've been looking for a place in Manchester that combines good company, good eats, and genuine civic purpose, the Elks have been holding that spot for generations.

What We Offer

The lodge offers Tuesday night cards, a weekly ritual that draws regulars and newcomers alike around the table for friendly competition. Monday night Bingo is a crowd favorite too, run by members who take the time to walk first-timers through the house rules so nobody feels lost.

Beyond the weekly events, Lodge #1893 is a fully equipped venue for private parties and group gatherings, complete with ample space, a well-stocked bar, and kitchen-prepared food at reasonable prices. The hall hosts a rotating schedule of community events throughout the year, giving members and guests plenty of reasons to keep coming back.

Membership in the Elks opens the door to all of it, plus the broader mission of charitable giving and community service that defines the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks nationwide. The lodge is always welcoming prospective members who want to get involved.

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
