About Us

Two people wearing humorous masks at an event.

At 103 W Oneal Street, the Gaffney Elks Lodge #1305 is the kind of place where strangers become regulars and regulars become family. Rated 4.4 stars by members and guests alike, the lodge draws folks from across Cherokee County who want more than a bar stool. They want a community. The people here are genuinely friendly, and that reputation carries through every event, every handshake, and every round poured at the bar.

The lodge actively gives back to Gaffney, SC and the surrounding region through charitable programs that are core to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks mission nationwide. From youth scholarships to veterans' assistance, Lodge #1305 puts real dollars and real volunteer hours into the community it calls home. When members say the Elks do good, they mean it in the most tangible sense.

The hall itself is a genuine gathering space. Couples have held wedding receptions here. Families have celebrated milestones here. New friendships have started here over a shared table and a cold drink. It is a working lodge, lived-in and welcoming, not a showpiece.

What We Offer

Lodge #1305 offers its members a full-service clubhouse with a bar, lounge seating, and a spacious hall available for private events. Wedding receptions, birthday parties, retirement celebrations, and organizational meetings all find a comfortable home on W Oneal Street. The hall can be configured for seated dinners or open receptions, making it one of the more flexible event venues in the Gaffney area.

Membership in the Elks unlocks far more than access to the clubhouse. Members tap into a national network of lodges, participate in charitable giving programs, and enjoy regular lodge-sponsored social events throughout the year. The Elks National Foundation funds scholarships, community grants, and veterans' programs, and every Lodge #1305 member is part of that larger mission.

For prospective members, the path to joining starts with a simple conversation. Stop by the lodge, reach out through the national Elks website, or ask any current member. The door is open.

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
