Faculty Club (OSU)
Members only dining at Ohio State University in a classical environment
A stairwell that transports you to lounging areas that fit in with the 1930s when it was founded
The Faculty Club, one of the secrets of OSU is located right in the middle of campus. Since they don’t have classes here, many students know nothing of it despite walking past it every days. However, for those in the know, the faculty club offers an excellent dining experience and atmosphere.
Members only clubs have been declining in popularity for some time in the Midwest. Despite this, the OSU Faculty Club survives due to its connection to the university and availability for special events. For members who take advantage of it, it is an affordable luxury. The dining options are diverse and reasonable in price and the environment encourages you to lounge and relax both before and after the meal.
Salad bar is a good option at lunch
Seasonal soups and entrees can be expected at the lunch buffet. This fall it was a squash soup and a chili.

The Faculty Club
This is a hidden gem in Columbus and even at OSU where, despite it being in the center of campus, many students have not heard of it. This is a traditional posh experience where you could see the OSU president, emeritus professors, or wealthy alumni hanging out. This is a traditional spot many universities no longer have.
- Walk around and check out the art and lounges
- Ask if the ground floor bar is open.
- Visit and relax in the reading room.
