About Us

Walk through the doors at 550 Russell Street and you'll find exactly what 19 members and guests keep coming back to rate this place 4.9 stars: a clean, friendly bar where the beer is cold, the laughs are genuine, and nobody treats you like a stranger for long.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been one of America's great fraternal traditions since 1868, and Lodge #816 carries that legacy with a distinctly Paris, Tennessee personality. This isn't a stuffy clubhouse. It's the kind of place where the staff knows your name, the conversation flows as easily as the draft, and you leave feeling like you actually belong somewhere.

Membership here means more than a bar card. The Elks are committed to supporting veterans, funding youth programs, and giving back to the Henry County community. Every round you enjoy helps fuel those efforts, making a cold beer at Lodge #816 feel just a little more worthwhile.

What We Offer

The bar at Elks Lodge #816 is the beating heart of the operation, stocked with cold beer, mixed drinks, and the kind of no-frills hospitality that keeps regulars showing up week after week. The staff is friendly, the prices are member-friendly, and the atmosphere is exactly what a neighborhood gathering spot should feel like.

Beyond the bar, the lodge hosts member events, social nights, and charitable fundraisers throughout the year. Meeting rooms and event space are available for lodge functions, giving members a dedicated home base for everything from Veterans Day observances to community benefit nights.

Becoming a member unlocks full access to the lodge, its events, and a nationwide network of Elks lodges across the country. If you're not yet a member but want to explore joining, reach out through the national Elks website or stop by and introduce yourself. Someone will be happy to point you in the right direction.

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
