"Very nice location close to downtown Clermont, easy walking distance to pretty much anywhere downtown. Lots of charitable functions for the local community, as well as state, and our nation. Only second time I've been to the lodge, first time at this location, it moved several years ago. Sierra was a great bartender and was very friendly to us even though we came in later in the evening. Would highly recommend Clermont Elks to anyone considering doing something for their community. In addition you get the benefit of joining a national organization with thousands of lodges across our nation. This is just one of the really good ones"

"We had a great time! Rob Nichols was performing and Tommy D stopped by and sang a few! Lots of fun! Wish they would dim the lights to make it more bar atmosphere."

"Good people come to enjoy fellowship and play various games throughout the week. Bar prices are too high in my opinion when I think that membership lodges like this usually charge less than the local eateries."

"The local Clermont lodge strives to uphold the qualities of the Elks Lodge. A wonderful place to pass through especially if you're a visiting member. The Facebook page has all the current updates on times and events. Great lodge."

"Traveling through town and wanted to stop in to visit. Called the phone and there was no information available on open/closed hours; nor a way to leave a message. Google map page doesn't list open/closed hours; and web page only offers a "contact us" form. Would have been nice to visit the Elks but ended up at another club instead. :("
