About Us

Ironton Elks Lodge — photo 1

Ironton Elks Lodge 177 has been a fixture on 416 Park Ave long enough that generations of Lawrence County families have called it their second home. This is the kind of place where the bartender knows your order, the events calendar fills up fast, and the handshakes are genuine. Ask anyone who has been here and they will tell you the same thing: the people make it.

The Lodge hosts Battle of the Bands nights that draw real crowds, and Wise Guys Restaurant operates right inside the building, turning out daily specials that members and guests talk about for days. A 4.4-star rating across dozens of reviews is not an accident. It reflects years of showing up for Ironton, from scholarship fundraisers to community cookouts to packed Friday nights at the bar.

Elks Lodge 177 is a chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of the oldest fraternal organizations in America, but what you feel walking through the door is local through and through. This is Ironton's lodge, run by Ironton people, for Ironton people.

What We Offer

Membership in Lodge 177 opens the door to a full calendar of events, a welcoming bar and lounge, and the satisfaction of belonging to something that gives back. Wise Guys Restaurant keeps the kitchen busy with rotating daily specials that have earned their own loyal following, from hearty Monday plates to weekend favorites worth planning around.

Beyond the food and drinks, the Lodge is a genuine event venue. Battle of the Bands competitions, holiday parties, private banquets, and community fundraisers fill the hall throughout the year. Members also gain access to Elks national programs including youth scholarships, veterans assistance, and drug awareness initiatives that put real dollars and real effort back into the Ironton, OH community.

Whether you are looking to join as a member or simply rent the space for your next event, Lodge 177 has the room, the staff, and the energy to make it happen right.

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
