About Us

Three women enjoying drinks at a table in a lodge.

On West Montgomery Street, the Creston Elks Lodge has been one of Union County's steadiest gathering places, drawing members and guests who want more than a night out. Fridays At Five draws a crowd for a reason: the entertainment surprises you, the cause behind it matters, and the room fills with people who actually know each other. That combination is harder to find than it sounds.

Families are genuinely welcome here, not just tolerated. The lodge keeps its space clean and well-maintained, and the staff treats guests like they've been coming in for years. Active partnerships with local veterans groups give the organization real roots in the community, not just a plaque on the wall.

With a 4.4-star rating across dozens of reviews, the lodge earns its reputation visit by visit. Whether you're a longtime Elk or a first-time guest brought in by a member, you'll find a place that takes its mission seriously and still knows how to have a good time.

What We Offer

The lodge hosts Fridays At Five, a weekly social event that combines entertainment, food, and fundraising for charitable causes. It's the kind of event that gives you a story to tell by the end of the night.

Beyond the weekly gathering, the lodge offers a full-service bar and kitchen with food that earns genuine praise from guests. Family nights bring out multiple generations, and the atmosphere stays welcoming without losing its character. Community fundraising and veterans outreach round out the calendar year-round.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens access to the full lodge experience, including events, member pricing, and the satisfaction of contributing to one of America's longest-standing fraternal organizations. Guests of members are always welcome to come see what it's about.

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
