About Us

A girl stands outside the Elks Lodge on a sunny day.

Pull up to 1535 E Bardsley Ave and you'll find a place that doesn't try to impress you with flash. Elks Lodge 1424 impresses you with something harder to fake: people who are genuinely glad you walked in. Reviewers call the crowd friendly and the drink prices more than reasonable, and after one visit, most folks say the same thing, they're going back tonight.

Chartered under the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge 1424 is part of a national fraternal organization founded in 1868, with roots deep in community service, veterans' support, and scholarship programs. The Tulare chapter carries that mission forward every week, whether it's raising funds for local youth, honoring veterans, or simply keeping the bar stool warm for a neighbor who needs a good conversation.

The hall itself is small and unassuming, which is exactly the point. This isn't a venue that exists to show off. It's a gathering place that exists to bring Tulare, CA together, one handshake, one cold drink, and one well-organized event at a time.

What We Offer

Lodge 1424 offers more than a comfortable barstool. The full-service bar keeps prices honest and the atmosphere easy, making it a go-to spot after a long day or a long week. Members and guests alike find the kind of low-key social environment that's genuinely hard to come by.

The event hall is a popular choice for graduation parties, milestone celebrations, and community gatherings. The space is well-kept and flexible, and several reviewers have specifically noted it as a great backdrop for photos with grads. If the entrance feels a little tricky the first time, don't worry, a friendly Elk will point you in the right direction.

Beyond the social side, Lodge 1424 actively supports local scholarship programs, youth initiatives, and veterans' services through the national Elks network. Membership opens the door to those programs, to reciprocal visiting privileges at Elks lodges across the country, and to a community that takes showing up for each other seriously.

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
