There have been a lot of upgrades to the Elks Lodge in the past several years since 2016. The upstairs kitchen has added equipment to allow them to cook a number of "fast food" type items. They have specials during weekdays and special lunch/dinners most weekends. The Lodge has Bingo open to the public twice monthly. It also have a happy hours for drinks. The bar and the dining area upstairs has a complete make over with new hardwood floors and new bar appliances. A new "stain glass" type window is over the bar showing the Elks Emblem. They were in the process of remodeling the upstairs bathrooms last I heard. The air conditioning system has also been upgraded. If you haven't been there in a while it's worth visiting. read more

Elks Lodge 1918 Bpoe - Bingo open to the public during the year. - Madera, California

Unfortunately I visited the Elks lodge on 4/10 for a reception following a funeral. This place is super "old school" The last time I was here was in '98 and guess what nothing has changed. Retro tables and chair, Smelly bathrooms warm beer and gold flakes in the mirror behind the bar. The ceiling in the bar area had to be the worst! You could literally see all the ventilation system; no ceiling tiles. It was so muggy inside this place since there was no vents to circulate the air. Literally I had to stand beneath the air duct to cool off. One of the bar tenders didn't smile for 3 hours, really? We were all already sad then to have a "Debby downer" server, ugh she majorly sucked!!! I stiffed her on my tab. Sadly enough the Elks lodge needs major renovation and hopefully won't be back for a very long time. read more

Here at this place now the furniture is outdated and looks like an unfinished project of a bar. Also bartenders are rude no type of customer service. read more
