About Us

The numbers tell a quiet story: 24 reviews, a 4.7-star average, and members who keep coming back Thursday through Sunday. Elks Lodge 2474 sits on Bell Rose Lane in Chestertown, Maryland, and what visitors notice first is how easy it is to settle in. The bar is stocked and reasonably priced, the bartenders actually know their craft, and the restrooms are the kind of clean that tells you people here take the place seriously.

Friday nights carry a particular energy. The third Friday of every month is Bingo night, and bar bingo has already won over more than a few first-timers who came in curious and left as regulars. The lodge is small by design, not by accident. That scale is exactly what makes it friendly rather than anonymous. New members are genuinely welcome, not just tolerated, and the community around this lodge reflects that openness.

The BPOE tradition runs deep here. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has stood for charity, community service, and fellowship since 1868, and Lodge 2474 carries that forward on Maryland's Eastern Shore. If you have never walked through an Elks door before, this is a fine place to start.

What We Offer

The bar at Lodge 2474 is the social anchor of the place. Drinks are priced for members and guests alike, the slots add a little extra entertainment, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that an hour turns into three without anyone noticing.

Bingo on the third Friday of every month draws a crowd, and bar bingo is available on select visits for an interactive, laugh-out-loud good time. The calendar also includes regular lodge events tied to the Elks' national calendar of charitable giving and community programs.

The hall rental option opens the space to the broader Chestertown community. The venue offers ample parking, a clean facility, and a central location on Bell Rose Lane that makes logistics easy for private parties, fundraisers, and civic gatherings. Membership in the lodge itself unlocks access to national Elks resources, scholarship programs, and a network of lodges across the country.

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
