At Rochester Elks Lodge #1393, the proof is in the plate. On a recent Friday, members served a full lasagna lunch for $5 to raise money for local veterans in need. That kind of event, affordable, purposeful, and genuinely delicious, is what separates this lodge from a typical social club. Rated 4.4 stars across nearly 100 reviews, the lodge has earned its reputation one meal, one fundraiser, and one handshake at a time.

The bar at 295 Columbus Ave is a place where you can walk in alone and feel at ease. Members consistently note the welcoming atmosphere, the absence of smoking and vaping indoors, and the sense that everyone is looking out for one another. Women members have specifically called out how comfortable and safe the space feels, day or night. That is not an accident. It is the result of decades of members who take the Elks oath to community seriously.

Beyond the social side, Lodge #1393 channels real energy into charitable work throughout the Rochester, NH area. From veteran support programs to youth initiatives backed by the national Elks organization, the lodge is a civic anchor on the city's east side.

What We Offer

"Elks were hosting a charity lunch from 1130-1300 today (Friday). I believe the money was destined for veterans in need. A great lasagna meal priced at only $5.00. I really enjoyed it. Best value in the area. They host these type lunches every other week or so. Encourage anyone to attend if you want some great food at an amazing price, and all for a good cause."
