Sponsored by BRS Backyard Bug Busters ›The Elks Lodge on Union Valley Road: open bar, weekly dinners, hall rentals, and 80 reviews averaging 4.4 stars.
West Milford Elks Lodge sits on Union Valley Road, a few miles from the Highlands and the reservoir country that defines this corner of Passaic County. The bar area is large and well-maintained. Multiple televisions line every wall. Bartenders move fast. Prices are reasonable by any measure, and the crowd, members and non-members alike, keeps the room easy.
The lodge holds a charter under the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the national fraternal organization founded in 1868. That history carries obligations: charitable giving, veterans support, scholarship programs, and civic engagement in the surrounding community. This is not a private club that ignores its zip code.
Friday nights run a full dinner service, 5 to 8 PM. Mondays bring hot dogs and wings. Both are priced for regulars, not tourists. The hall is available for private rental. Visitors have noted the surrounding woods and the occasional black bear sighting on the property, which is either a feature or a warning depending on your perspective.
Friday Dinner Service runs every week, 5 to 8 PM. The menu rotates. Prices are set for members and guests, not event pricing. Show up, sit down, eat.
Monday Night Food means hot dogs and wings. Straightforward. Cheap. Paired with whatever game is on one of the wall-mounted televisions in the main bar.
The banquet hall rents for private events: birthday parties, anniversaries, fundraisers, civic gatherings, reunions. Capacity is substantial. The bar is available to support events. Contact the lodge directly through elks.org for rental rates and availability. Membership in the BPOE is not required to rent the space or to visit the bar.
