About Us

Children playing outside the Elks Lodge on a sunny day.

Ask anyone who walked through the door at Princeton Elks Lodge for the first time, and they'll tell you the same thing: somebody introduced themselves before you even found a seat. That's not an accident. It's the culture this lodge has built, one handshake at a time, right here on S. Jefferson Street.

Members drive in from across Caldwell County and beyond, drawn by more than just the weekly dinner specials. The lodge is a genuine gathering place, the kind where a family relocating from Arizona gets folded into the community on their very first visit. Shout-out to Destiny for making that happen. Reviews like that one don't come from a script; they come from people who actually mean it.

The BPOE has stood for Benevolence, Protection, Order, and Loyalty since 1868, and this Princeton chapter carries that mission forward with real programs: scholarship funds, veterans support, youth initiatives, and charitable giving that stays local. Rated 4.3 out of 5 by members and guests, the lodge earns that score the old-fashioned way.

What We Offer

Tuesday through Saturday, the kitchen fires up nightly dinner specials that have earned their own reputation around Princeton. The $8.50 lasagna and salad plate is the stuff of local legend, a mountain of food that regularly requires a to-go box. Other rotating specials keep regulars coming back to see what's on the board each week.

Beyond the dining room, the lodge hosts member events, private banquets, fundraisers, and community gatherings throughout the year. The facility is handicap accessible, making it welcoming for members and guests of all abilities. Bar service is available for members and their sponsored guests.

Membership opens the door to a national network of over 800,000 Elks, local voting rights on lodge decisions, access to member-only pricing, and the satisfaction of contributing to charitable work that directly benefits Princeton, KY and the surrounding region. Prospective members can visit as a guest and ask any current member about the application process.

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
