About Us

Decorated table with a floral centerpiece in a festive setting. — Elks Lodge — Decorated table with a floral centerpiece in a festive setting.

At 105 E Chestnut Street, the Goldsboro Elks Lodge is the kind of place where a stranger from Florida walks in and leaves feeling like a longtime member. That actually happened. A visitor stopped by, met Exalted Ruler Rob Best, and came away talking about the warmth, the handshakes, and the walls lined with decades of local history. That is not an accident. It is the culture this lodge has built, one member at a time.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was founded in 1868, and the Goldsboro chapter carries that legacy with quiet pride. The lodge has been a gathering place for veterans, families, and community leaders who believe that showing up for your neighbors is not optional. Memorial services held here are remembered for their dignity. Events draw people who know each other by name. The building on Chestnut holds stories that span generations.

With a 4.6-star rating across nearly 50 reviews, the feedback is consistent: friendly faces, a welcoming atmosphere, and people who genuinely mean it when they say the door is open.

What We Offer

The Goldsboro Elks Lodge offers members a full calendar of events, from social gatherings and holiday celebrations to veterans support programs and charitable fundraisers that benefit the local community.

"My family rented the building for a family reunion, but we couldn't use the bar due to it being "members only". There was a person at the bar SMOKING INSIDE as we held the event with children inside, maybe a "member". I feel that if we rent a building, there should be decency and respect as not to smoke while we are there, and Close the Bar if someone is renting from you. On the plus side, the place has a Large kitchen."

"The Elks Lodge is the best kept secret in Goldsboro. The rental price was extremely affordable compared to other venues I researched, the space was large and the setup was perfect for eating and dancing. The management was very accommodating. I would definitely use the venue again. I give it 5 stars!"

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.
