About Us

On a Friday night at Jackson Elks Lodge #2744, you might walk in to find Gary C's Strictly Blues Jam shaking the rafters, a packed bar raising money for disabled veterans, or a karaoke crowd that refuses to go home before midnight. This is a real lodge, run by real members, for the people of Jackson Township, NJ and the surrounding community.

The lodge sits at 1059 E Veterans Highway, and that address is no accident. The Elks have always stood behind America's veterans, and Lodge #2744 puts that commitment into action through fundraisers, community events, and a membership culture that actually shows up when it counts. With a 4.6-star rating earned from guests who keep coming back, the proof is in the people.

Stop in on any given evening and you will find friendly staff, drinks priced the way they should be, and a room full of neighbors who already feel like old friends. That is not a marketing line. That is what the reviews actually say.

What We Offer

Lodge #2744 hosts a rotating calendar of live music nights, including the popular Gary C's Blues Jam, plus karaoke evenings that draw regulars from across Ocean County. The bar is well-stocked, the prices are honest, and the staff knows how to keep a room happy.

Beyond the entertainment, the lodge runs active fundraising events for disabled veterans, charitable giving programs tied to the national Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks mission, and member-only gatherings that build real community ties. Food at events has drawn consistent praise, so come hungry when there is a fundraiser on the calendar.

Membership opens the door to all of it, including discounted events, voting rights on lodge decisions, and the chance to serve alongside people who genuinely give back to New Jersey communities every year.

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
