On Eagle Street in North Adams, Lodge 487 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been doing something simple and valuable: giving people a real place to belong. The bar has that quiet, old-school character that's hard to fake and impossible to manufacture. It's the kind of room where the same faces show up, the bartender knows your order, and the noise level stays low enough to actually hold a conversation.

Every week, the Lodge fills up for progressive bingo nights that draw players from across the Berkshires. Nine squares wins the progressive jackpot, additional game sheets run just two dollars, and the volunteers who run it are genuinely friendly people who care about the experience. Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 26 reviews, this isn't a venue coasting on nostalgia. It's an active, well-run organization with members who show up.

Elks Lodge 487 is also a civic institution. The national BPOE has been supporting veterans, funding scholarships, and serving local communities since 1868, and this lodge carries that mission into every Berkshire County neighborhood it touches.

What We Offer

The weekly bingo program is the Lodge's signature event, and it draws a crowd for good reason. A full pack covers all the regular games, the progressive jackpot builds until someone hits nine squares, and extra sheets are available for two dollars apiece. It's affordable, social, and genuinely exciting when the numbers start falling your way.

Beyond bingo, Lodge 487 hosts private events and gatherings in a space that has real atmosphere rather than generic banquet-hall polish. The bar operates with a low-key, welcoming vibe that suits both longtime members and guests visiting for the first time. Cold drinks, familiar faces, and no pretense.

Membership in the Elks opens access to a national network of lodges, scholarship programs, veteran support initiatives, and community service opportunities. Whether you're drawn in by a bingo night or a neighbor's recommendation, the Lodge has more to offer than a single visit reveals.

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
