On Dixon Street in Westerly, Rhode Island, Lodge 678 has been doing what the Elks do best: pulling people together. Walk through the door and you'll find members who actually know your name. Ask anyone who's visited and they'll mention Barry, Frank, or Holly behind the bar, because that's the kind of place this is. Real people, real conversations, none of the stiff formality you might expect.

The lodge draws guests from across the country. Visitors from Lodge 1889 in Harlingen, Texas, and Mother Lodge #19 in Hartford have all ended up here, stayed longer than planned, and left with new friends. That kind of cross-country connection doesn't happen by accident. It happens because the members at 678 make everyone feel like they've been coming in for years.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 stars by members and guests alike, this lodge earns that score through consistency: consistent warmth, consistent fun on bingo night, and consistently good food that keeps people coming back.

What We Offer

Lodge 678 is more than a meeting hall. The bar and lounge is a genuine gathering spot where the conversation flows as freely as the drinks, staffed by bartenders like Brian and Holly who treat every visitor like a regular.

Bingo nights draw a crowd for good reason. It's loud, it's fun, and it's the kind of event that turns strangers into regulars. The kitchen turns out solid, satisfying food that pairs well with an evening of cards and good company.

Beyond the social calendar, the lodge supports the Elks National Foundation and local charitable programs that make a real difference in the Westerly community. Members gain access to lodge facilities, fraternal events, and a network that stretches to every Elks lodge across the country, so whether you're visiting from down the street or rolling in from Texas, there's always a seat at the table.

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
