Five dollars gets you on the dance floor every Tuesday night, 5:30 to 9:00 P.M., with a live DJ spinning while happy hour prices keep the drinks and bar food coming. Every cent of that cover goes directly to supporting veterans, which is exactly the kind of lodge Elks Lodge 2173 has always been, one that puts its money where its values are.

The bar food here earns honest praise from regulars and first-timers alike, and the crowd is the kind that makes a stranger feel like a regular by the second round. That 4.8-star rating across dozens of reviews is not an accident. It reflects a place where the staff knows your name and the atmosphere does the rest.

Situated on Worcester Highway in Bishopville, Lodge 2173 draws from both the Selbyville community across the Delaware line and the broader Worcester County area. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has stood behind American veterans and local communities for over 150 years, and this lodge carries that tradition forward with weekly events, charitable giving, and a bar room that genuinely earns its reputation.

What We Offer

Tuesday Dance Nights are the lodge's signature public event, open to everyone for just five dollars at the door. A DJ runs the music from 5:30 to 9:00 P.M., happy hour specials run on drinks, and the kitchen puts out bar food that regulars come back for on its own merits. All proceeds benefit veterans.

Beyond Tuesday nights, the lodge offers a full bar and social hall available to members and their guests throughout the week. The Elks national organization provides members access to scholarship programs, veterans assistance, youth initiatives, and community grants that reach far beyond the four walls of the lodge itself.

Membership in BPOE Lodge 2173 opens the door to a network of lodges across the country, local volunteer opportunities, and a community of people who show up for each other. Whether you are a longtime Elk or simply curious about joining, the lodge welcomes inquiries and encourages visits on any open night.

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
