About Us

At Lodge 1719, the parking spot closest to the back door belongs to the bartender. That detail tells you everything about what this place values: the people who show up every shift and make sure everyone feels at home. Reviewers have called out Stacy and Nicole by name, praising both the conversation and the prices, and that kind of loyalty is earned one pour at a time.

Situated on S Pinellas Avenue in Tarpon Springs, the lodge draws members from across the region, including folks transferring their cards from lodges up north who want to plant roots here on the Gulf Coast. Live music nights fill the room with friends of members and curious newcomers alike, and the Elks welcome them all in. A 4.7-star rating across 168 reviews does not happen by accident. It happens because the people running this place genuinely care who walks through the door.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been serving American communities since 1868, and Lodge 1719 carries that mission forward with a distinctly Tarpon Springs personality. Sponge docks, salt air, and a bar where the prices are fair and the conversation is real. This is what a lodge is supposed to feel like.

What We Offer

Lodge 1719 operates as a full-service community hub for members and their guests. The bar and lounge is the social heartbeat of the building, staffed by bartenders who know your name and keep the prices honest. Members gather here after work, on weekends, and for special occasions without worrying about a bill that punishes them for staying too long.

Live entertainment nights bring local performers to the stage on a regular basis, and the venue is large enough to host private events, banquets, and celebrations. The lodge hall is available for member-sponsored gatherings, making it a practical choice for everything from birthday parties to retirement dinners. Community charity work runs year-round through Elks National Foundation programs, giving members a way to give back to Tarpon Springs and the broader Pinellas County area.

Membership in the Elks opens doors beyond Lodge 1719 itself. Your card travels with you to lodges across the country, and transferring from another lodge is straightforward. Whether you are relocating to the area or simply want to find your local chapter, the team at 1719 makes the process easy.

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
