About Us

The Elks Lodge at 37 Linden St has been a fixture in Hackensack, NJ for generations. On Friday evenings, the hall comes alive with the kind of easy, genuine conversation that is harder and harder to find. Members catch up over drinks, newcomers find their footing, and the building itself, a short walk from transit and with parking across the street, makes showing up simple.

The space is bigger than you might expect from the outside. Visitors who have rented it for parties and private events consistently note how well it works for a crowd, and how the price quoted is refreshingly reasonable for Bergen County. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and the Hackensack lodge carries that tradition with a local, unpretentious character that is entirely its own.

With a 4.5-star rating from members and guests, the lodge earns its reputation not through grand gestures but through consistent warmth. Whether you are exploring membership, scouting a venue for an anniversary party, or attending your first Elks event, you will find a room full of people who are glad you made the trip.

What We Offer

The lodge's primary gathering night is Friday, 6:00 to 10:00 PM, and that window is when the hall is at its best. Members enjoy the camaraderie that defines Elks culture, with social events, charitable discussions, and the kind of low-key fellowship that does not require a special occasion.

Beyond the weekly social night, the event rental space is one of the lodge's most practical offerings. Past guests have hosted anniversary parties, birthday celebrations, and community gatherings here. The hall accommodates a real crowd, offers convenient access for guests who do not drive, and has street parking directly across from the building on Linden Street. Rental pricing has been described by visitors as reasonable, which is a genuine differentiator in the Hackensack area.

For those interested in joining the Order of Elks, the lodge welcomes inquiries from American citizens who believe in God and meet the membership criteria. Connecting with the lodge on a Friday evening is the most direct way to learn what membership looks like at this specific chapter.

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.
