About Us

Thirty Washington Street has seen a lot. Elks Lodge 957 sits right in the middle of New Britain, CT, and for decades it has been the kind of place where a dad's 70th birthday becomes a story the whole family tells for years. That's not an accident. The members here put genuine effort into every event, from the Mother's Day brunch with its ceremony that guests call "very sweet" to the fundraisers that pour real money back into the community.

The Lodge recently completed renovations that brought new life to the building without losing the warmth that regulars count on. Walk in and you'll find the same friendly faces, the same welcoming atmosphere, and, if you're lucky, Mary's meatloaf on the menu. With a 4.5-star rating across 54 reviews, the people who show up here keep showing up, and they keep bringing their families with them.

Elks Lodge 957 is a BPOE chapter with a purpose that goes beyond the dining room. Charitable giving, community events, and the bonds formed between members are the engine behind everything happening at this address.

What We Offer

The Lodge hosts a rotating calendar of events that gives members and their guests reasons to return throughout the year. Mother's Day brunch, holiday celebrations, milestone birthday parties, and community fundraisers are staples on the schedule, each organized with the care that has earned this Lodge its loyal following.

The dining room turns out home-style food that people specifically mention in reviews, which is not something every Lodge can say. Private event hosting is available for families looking to celebrate in a space that already feels like home. Whether you're marking a milestone or just joining members for a weeknight dinner, the kitchen and the company are both worth the trip to Washington Street.

Membership opens the door to a national network of Elks chapters, local scholarship opportunities, veteran support programs, and the kind of ongoing community investment that makes a neighborhood stronger. New members are always 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.
