About Us

A humorous sign instructing what not to flush. — Deale Elks Lodge #2528
A humorous sign instructing what not to flush.

Sixty-two reviews averaging 4.7 stars says something concrete: guests walk into Deale Elks Lodge #2528 feeling like regulars before they even sit down. Located on Drum Point Road just minutes from the western shore of the Chesapeake, this lodge draws a crowd that actually talks to strangers, pulls up a stool, and means it when they say you're welcome back.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has operated across America since 1868, and Lodge #2528 carries that tradition into a tight-knit Deale, Maryland fishing community where people still know their neighbors. Fundraisers here aren't awkward ticket-table affairs. They're the kind of night where you show up knowing no one and leave with a table full of new friends.

Drink prices stay reasonable because the mission was never about profit. It was about keeping a gathering place alive where locals can decompress, celebrate, and give back to the community that raised them.

What We Offer

Lodge #2528 runs a full-service bar with some of the most competitive drink prices on the western shore, a reliable anchor for members who want a quality pour without a restaurant markup. The atmosphere is relaxed and genuinely social, the kind of room where a conversation starts at the bar and ends two hours later at a corner table.

Beyond the bar, the lodge hosts community fundraisers, private events, and member gatherings throughout the year. Charitable giving is baked into the Elks charter, so a portion of every event circles back to local causes, veterans' programs, and youth initiatives that actually see the money.

Guest visits are welcome when accompanied by a member, making it easy to experience the lodge before committing to membership. For those ready to join, the application process connects new members directly with the national Elks.org portal and local officers who walk you through every step.

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
