Campus Club of the University of Minnesota - Event venue in Minneapolis - Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave SE 4th Floor, USA

The short: Amazing, amazing staff, great food, and great views. The long: We had our wedding here in August 2016. Chef Beth was amazing with our food needs and we had SO MANY compliments on the food, the amazing staff, and the view. One thing that is super great about this place is the membership that comes with a booking for a large event, so you can try different foods every day/week/month if you like. For example, we had passed cheese curds, no joke! And they were amazing!! My now husband and I really got to know the staff, so any anxiety about anyone working at our wedding was gone because I already knew 75% of the people there. I seriously cannot rave enough about the staff. Just amazing, real, kind, generous, thoughtful, smart, speedy (took 20 minutes or so to serve like 250 people in two rooms), AMAZING. Jen and Jane always promptly (within an hour >90% of the time, within a day the rest of the time) reply to emails about any questions, bookings, food requests, etc. They act as amazing liaisons with not only the staff and the kitchen, but also all the vendors we hired. They both know the questions I'm forgetting to ask, and they always acted as if this wedding was going to be super fun for everyone, including the staff! :-) Bonus: there are so many photo ops here - we did pictures against the Ivy wall, obviously the view from the ballroom and the terrace are amazing as well! I cannot recommend the Campus Club enough!

The U of M Campus Club is a really unique and special place on campus - full of history and hospitality. It's a great place to meet with U of M community, clients, family, friends. We've participated in family events (Mother's Day Brunch, Easter Brunch, etc.), department events, seminars, Wine and Scotch tastings, countless lunches and enjoyable happy hours. The food is outstanding and the environment elegant and inviting - the views of campus and downtown are beautiful. Highly recommended!

Campus Club has an extensive and diverse catering menu, a large and beautiful event space, and an affordable price. There is a perfect view of downtown Minneapolis and the Mississippi from the banquet area, and they have a beautiful bar with a gorgeous solid wood bar top and a bit of an Art Deco vibe. The event coordinator (we worked with Liz) is organized, accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, and just plain great at her job. Would recommend to anyone looking to hold a wedding in the Twin Cities.

Awesome environment! Wish I had come here when I was a student. The drinks are delicious and are regularly rotated. Food is very good. Usually not too crowded so you can have a nice dining experience. The rooftop has great views of downtown MPLS and Northrop. Very fun and affordable! You don’t need to be a member to come to the campus club, but you do get discounts as a member and is well worth it if you stop by a few times times per year.

Typical, average, nothing special. Went here for a University sponsored ‘banquet style’ dinner and was not impressed with the service or the food. Bar service was slow. I cleared my own dinner plate. Maybe the wait staff thought I wasn’t finished because I couldn’t finish the salmon. Salmon was dry. So dry. Salad with romaine lettuce and pear slices was the best part of the meal. Appetizers were passed during the cocktail portion. Polenta! Polenta! Polenta! So-so Polenta! Polenta with burnt bacon bits. Great view of downtown Minneapolis and the walking bridge on Washington Avenue. So-so service. Typical banquet food. Nothing special.

Love coming here and being a part of a world class university!

We had our wedding at the Campus Club last weekend, and I must say it was a success with many thanks to the staff there! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at this location, which made it easier for out of town guests so they would not have to move once they arrived. Jenn, our coordinator, was so helpful with the details and made sure we were taken care of from the moment we booked this venue. Everything was flawlessly and all of our guests loved the gorgeous view from the terrace and the bar room for conversation throughout the wedding as well. In addition, the food was absolutely amazing. It tasted great at our tasting but honestly it blew us away at the reception. I highly recommend this gorgeous venue along with the great staff that will make sure you're set for the big day! Thank you to the Campus Club!

I remain very happy to be a Campus Club member. The staff are stellar and the food is top notch. The only "issue" is that whatever I've eaten has made me want seconds. They recently served a shrimp okonomiyaki that blew my mind. The price for meals is more expensive than the fast food that's available on campus, yet very competitive with sit-down restaurants. I never feel that I'm getting overcharged. Whether it's catered lunches for meetings or dining for lunch or happy hour, you are sure to be pleased with what you're served.
