About Us

Decorated dining setup with blue and white table settings. — Elks Lodge
Decorated dining setup with blue and white table settings.

The Crestwood Elks Lodge at 4428 W Midlothian Turnpike has earned a 4.4-star reputation from more than 136 members and guests, and it shows the moment you walk through the door. The staff is genuinely warm, parking is free and plentiful, and the facility itself is the kind of place that makes milestone moments feel right. Families have marked 70th birthdays here, line dancers have claimed Tuesday nights as their own, and members have built friendships that outlast any single event.

The BPOE has stood for Elks, Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity since 1868, and this lodge carries that tradition forward on the southwest side of Chicago. What sets this location apart is the energy in the room: a real mix of longtime members and first-time guests, all finding their footing on the same dance floor or around the same banquet tables.

If you have been looking for a place to host a private party, join a weekly social group, or simply plug into a community that actually shows up for its neighbors, this is the address worth bookmarking.

What We Offer

The lodge is built for private events of all sizes. Birthdays, anniversaries, retirement parties, and family reunions fill the banquet space regularly, and the staff handles the logistics so hosts can actually enjoy themselves. Free on-site parking means guests arrive relaxed, not circling the block.

Weekly programming keeps the calendar full. Line dancing nights have developed a loyal following, drawing regulars who come as much for the company as the footwork. The lodge also supports Elks charitable programs at the local and national level, giving members a hands-on way to give back to veterans, youth, and the broader Crestwood community.

Membership opens the door to member pricing on events, access to Elks lodges across the country, and a standing invitation to every social night on the schedule. Reach out through elks.org or stop by to ask about joining or booking the facility for your next event.

The Order · Since 1868

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
