About Us

Exterior view of the Elks Lodge building.

The Findlay Elks Lodge BPOE #75 on West Melrose Ave was built from the ground up specifically for the members and neighbors it serves. Reviewers say it plainly: the new building was designed to suit customers, with every room and layout decision made with function and comfort in mind. That intentionality shows the moment you walk through the doors.

This lodge is genuinely active. From purse bingo nights drawing crowds of prize-seekers to fundraiser dinners raising money for the Honor Flight program, the calendar here reflects real community investment. The Honor Flight dinner alone was called a great success by attendees, raising funds to send local veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials built in their honor.

With a 4.5-star rating across 76 reviews, Lodge #75 has earned its reputation not through nostalgia alone but through consistent execution. Events are well-run, the space is flexible enough for banquets and community nights alike, and the organization behind it keeps showing up for Findlay in ways that matter.

What We Offer

The lodge functions as a full event venue and banquet hall, capable of hosting everything from formal dinners and fundraisers to festive bingo nights and private celebrations. The purpose-built facility means the sightlines, acoustics, and layout were considered from day one, not retrofitted into an old building.

Community fundraising events, member socials, and civic programs run through the lodge regularly. Security-managed events, live music performances, and organized charity drives have all taken place here, reflecting the range of what this space can accommodate. If your group needs a professionally managed venue with an organization that knows how to run a room, Lodge #75 is equipped to deliver.

For lodging inquiries, private event bookings, or information about Elks membership, visit findlaybpoe75.org or stop by 900 W Melrose Ave. The staff and members who keep this place running are the same people invested in making your event a success.

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
