About Us

Entrance of Braddock Elks Lodge #883 with a simple door design.

On Library Street in Braddock, Pennsylvania, Lodge #883 has held its ground through mill closures, pandemic shutdowns, and every economic gut-punch this town has absorbed. The members here didn't rebrand or relocate. They stayed, and that stubbornness is exactly what makes this place worth walking into.

The lodge carries the full Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks tradition, but what regulars actually remember is the warmth of the staff and the way a stranger becomes a regular after one visit. Reviewers consistently call the people here "100% genuine," and that's not marketing language. It's the honest difference between a hall that exists on paper and one that actually functions as a community anchor.

Recently, Lodge #883 has opened its doors to the underground rave scene, hosting events that draw a crowd who might never have set foot inside an Elks lodge otherwise. That willingness to evolve, to let the building breathe new life on a Saturday night, is how Braddock's oldest fraternal hall stays relevant without losing what it is.

What We Offer

The lodge operates as a full-service bar and event venue for members and their guests, with a no-frills atmosphere that regulars describe as genuinely underground. The bar anchors every gathering, whether that's a quiet Tuesday with fellow Elks or a packed weekend event with a DJ setup.

Private event rentals are available for community organizations, music promoters, and fraternal gatherings. The hall has proven it can handle large crowds and late-night formats, making it one of the more versatile event spaces in the Braddock area. Membership in the Elks order unlocks access to regular lodge nights, charitable programs, and the broader national network of BPOE lodges across the country.

The lodge also supports local charitable initiatives consistent with the Elks mission, including youth programs, veteran outreach, and community aid efforts tied to the Braddock, PA neighborhood it calls home.

"This place is honestly a gem, hit a rave here and it will be something you don't forget easily. Feels very underground and low key. Bar can be hard to get at but other than that, if you don't have a good time, you're not hooked up right"

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
