Lodge 882 offers a full-service bar where you can catch live sports, share a round with regulars, and decompress after a day exploring Galena's shops and trails. The atmosphere skews cozy and unpretentious, the kind of place where strangers become familiar faces by the second drink.
Beyond the bar, the Lodge hosts community events, civic recognition ceremonies, and member gatherings throughout the year. The Elks Citizenship Award program shines a spotlight on locals who give quietly and consistently. Meeting rooms and event space are available for members, supporting everything from charitable fundraisers to private celebrations.
Membership in the BPOE opens doors to a national network of over 800,000 fellow Elks, plus local benefits like discounted bar service, voting rights on Lodge decisions, and the satisfaction of contributing to a fraternal organization with real community impact right here in Jo Daviess County.
