About Us

Elks Lodge #30 has been a cornerstone of the New Orleans metro area for generations, and the proof is in the 4.8-star rating members and guests have given it. Situated on Cleary Avenue in Metairie, the lodge sits close enough to the city to feel connected but far enough to offer real breathing room. Whether you pull up in a car or park your RV on the grounds, you'll find a membership that genuinely looks out for each other.

The facility itself earns its reputation: clean halls, generous parking, easy access from major roads, and a staff of volunteers who make you feel like you've been coming here for years even on your first visit. Catered events here consistently draw praise for the food, the drink, and the relaxed atmosphere that makes a birthday party or private gathering feel special without the fuss of a commercial venue.

Beyond the events, this lodge lives out the Elks' core values of charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity in real, tangible ways. Local scholarships, veterans' programs, and community outreach happen here every year because the members show up and make them happen. That's the difference between a building and a lodge.

What We Offer

The lodge at 2215 Cleary Ave offers members and their guests a versatile range of amenities that go well beyond a typical meeting hall. The main event space accommodates private parties, milestone celebrations, and organizational gatherings with plenty of room and easy load-in for caterers. Parking is abundant, a genuine luxury this close to New Orleans.

For traveling Elks members, the RV hookup on the property is one of the most talked-about perks in recent reviews. It's a secure, welcoming spot to stay while exploring the city, and the fellow members you'll meet make it feel nothing like a commercial campground. Lodge events throughout the year include dinners, fundraisers, and social nights open to the membership.

The lodge also serves as the local hub for BPOE charitable programs, including youth scholarship initiatives and veterans' support activities. Membership applications are welcomed, and prospective members are encouraged to attend an event and see the community firsthand before committing.

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.
