College Sports Bar in Minneapolis, MN
Where Kollegians Kongregate Since 1953
“Never Let School Interfere With Your Education”
In 1953, entrepreneur Jack Meier and his sons, John and Jim Meier, opened The Kollege Klub on the iconic State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. Previously occupied by the Campus Soda Grill, The Kollege Klub’s first location was at 714 State Street, where UW’s Memorial Library stands today.
After 66 years in Madison, The Kollege Klub has crossed the border battle lines and adopted the maroon and gold to share the Kollegiate experience with its neighbor and rival. Although the layout may be different with a two story outdoor patio and an indoor bar featuring three levels, we hope to build and continue the same Kollege Klub tradition that our loyal customers have come to know and love.
To this day, many alumni remember the welcoming presence of the owner, John “Big Dad” Meier, and many still recall the iconic UW rowing shell that hung above the bar. With the construction of Library Mall in 1972, The Kollege Klub relocated to the corner of Lake and Langdon Street, where the KK tradition continues to grow to this day.
Having gone nearly unaltered for 40 years, Jordan oversaw a much-needed renovation of the Kollege Klub in the summer of 2011. While this face-lift ensures that the Kollege Klub is poised for continued success in the future, the KK’s atmosphere continues to honor its tradition and legacy of the past 60 years.
