Lodge 1557 offers a full-service members' bar where the bartenders are celebrated by name in reviews and known for working with genuine pride. Whether you're a traveling Elk stopping in with your membership card or a local considering joining, the bar is the social heartbeat of the lodge.
Beyond the bar, the lodge hosts community events, charitable fundraisers, and social gatherings that serve both members and the broader New Smyrna Beach area. The BPOE charitable mission runs deep here, with programs supporting veterans, youth scholarships, and local causes that members vote on and fund together.
New members receive a warm welcome that goes well beyond a handshake. Staff and veteran members like Cindy B. have been praised for taking the time to give personal tours and make first-time visitors feel oriented and at home. Membership opens the door to a national network of Elks lodges, meaning you carry the community with you when you travel.
