Friday night bingo, a cold drink at the bar, and a room full of people who actually know your name. That's what members and guests consistently find at Elks Lodge #687 on North Rapids Road in Manitowoc. With a 4.7-star rating earned from real locals, this lodge has built something that's genuinely hard to find: a place where the welcome feels immediate and the staff makes sure it stays that way.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks isn't just a social club. Lodge #687 channels dues and fundraising dollars directly into the Manitowoc community, with a particular focus on veterans' support and local schools. Scholarship checks go out to graduating students. Supplies land in classrooms. A free community lunch opens the doors to anyone who needs it, no membership card required.

The lodge hosts regular meetings for groups like the DVA, alongside its own member programming. Fair note from the regulars: on meeting nights, the bar can get lively, so plan accordingly if you're coming for business. Come for the bingo, the camaraderie, or the cause. You'll likely find all three.

What We Offer

Bingo nights draw a crowd for good reason. The games run regularly and the atmosphere is social, competitive in the friendliest sense, and a genuine reason to get out of the house on a weeknight.

Beyond bingo, the lodge operates a full-service bar for members and guests, hosts civic and veterans' organization meetings, and organizes community outreach events throughout the year. Scholarship programs benefit local high school students, and school supply initiatives put resources directly into Manitowoc classrooms. The free community lunch program is open to the public, no strings attached.

Membership in Lodge #687 connects you to a national network of over 800,000 Elks while keeping your dollars and volunteer hours rooted right here in Manitowoc. Whether you join as a full member or simply attend a public event, you're participating in something that's been quietly improving this community for decades.

"Elks are a group of people who focus on helping their community. With priority on veterans and schools. Each local lodge gives out scholarships and supplies to schools. They host a free lunch for any veterans once a month. They also do other stuff throughout the year to raise money to give back to the community. These include Octoberfest, Army/Navy game, Packer games, and local bands. Stop in and check it out."

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
