About Us

Interior setup for an event at Clifton Elks Lodge.
Interior setup for an event at Clifton Elks Lodge.

Clifton Elks Lodge 1569 sits on Clifton Avenue and has been a fixture of Passaic County civic life long before the neighborhood changed around it. This is a place where local veterans, tradespeople, and community volunteers pull up a barstool, pay fair prices, and leave knowing somebody's first name. With a 4.5-star rating from members and guests, the lodge earns its reputation the old-fashioned way: consistency and a genuinely welcoming room.

The bar is the social heartbeat of the lodge. The beer selection skews toward the classics rather than the exotic, and that's exactly the point. You're not here for a craft flight, you're here because a round of domestics costs what a round of domestics should cost, and the person next to you probably grew up two streets over.

Beyond the bar, Lodge 1569 hosts private parties, luncheons, and community events in a hall that comfortably seats around 100 guests. Renovations are underway, which means the bones of a great venue are only getting better. Parking is ample, the price is right, and the Elks' century-long mission of charity and patriotism runs through everything that happens here.

What We Offer

The lodge offers a full social bar open to members and sponsored guests, with reasonably priced drinks and a welcoming atmosphere that regulars keep coming back to. It's the kind of stop where you don't need a reservation and you won't need to shout over a DJ.

Event and banquet space is available for private luncheons, milestone celebrations, and organizational gatherings. The main hall handles groups up to roughly 100 people, with on-site parking that makes logistics easy for larger parties. Catering arrangements can be coordinated through lodge management.

Membership in BPOE Lodge 1569 connects you to the national Elks network, including charitable programs, youth initiatives, veteran support, and reciprocal privileges at Elks lodges across the country. New member inquiries are welcome through the lodge's contact page at elks.org.

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
