About Us

Walk through the doors at Elks Lodge 1609 on Brantley Ave NW and you'll find something that's genuinely hard to come by: a room full of people who are actually glad to see you. Members here have rated this lodge 4.8 out of 5 stars across 63 reviews, and the word that comes up again and again is friendly. That's not an accident. It's a culture that's been built intentionally by the people who show up.

The lodge runs two game rooms, one for smokers and one smoke-free, both stocked with pool tables and the kind of easy conversation that stretches a Tuesday night into something worth remembering. The kitchen turns out solid food, and the bar keeps things comfortable without pretense. From new visitors to longtime members, everybody seems to find their footing fast.

Cullman, Alabama has always been a community that takes care of its own, and Lodge 1609 fits that spirit exactly. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has a national mission rooted in charity, justice, and patriotism, and this local chapter carries that forward with events, fundraisers, and a front door that's open to prospective members ready to get involved.

What We Offer

Lodge 1609 gives members more than a place to hang out. The smoking game room and the non-smoking lounge each offer pool, conversation, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can drop in solo and leave with plans for next weekend. It's the kind of space where regulars know your name and newcomers stop being strangers by the second visit.

Beyond the game rooms, the lodge hosts a full kitchen that serves up dependable meals, making it easy to grab dinner before a game or stay late after one. Charitable events, community fundraisers, and member-driven programming round out the calendar throughout the year.

Membership in the BPOE also connects you to a national network of over 800,000 Elks across the country, with reciprocal privileges at lodges wherever you travel. Whether you're a Cullman local or passing through north Alabama, Lodge 1609 is worth the stop.

"It's the lodge, man. Got a good smoking game room, non smoking as well. Lots of awesome members to talk with, shoot pool with, and get to know any night of the week. They got a pretty good kitchen, and some great bartenders with probably the most reasonable drink prices in town. Cornhole and other games outside on the patio, clean bathrooms, lots of prizes to be won during entertainment. Weekly bands, karaoke, trivia, and it's a super place to watch football on weekends. Most game days have potluck! It's my favorite place to hang out anytime. And they throw the best holiday themed parties year round. Halloween especially has the best decorations, food, and costumes you'll see. Motorcycle friendly, fun for the 21 and up crowd, nothing but a good time to be had here."

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
