After over four months of being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SportClub, 750 N. Jefferson St., will reopen on Thursday, July 23 at 3 p.m. with limited indoor and outdoor seating, restricted hours and a supplemental schedule for televised sporting events.

Guests who attend Thursday's reopening will receive a "welcome back" cocktail to celebrate SportClub being back in service and the return of Major League Baseball. 

In general, SportClub will open from 3 to 8 p.m. weekdays as well as anytime there are large sporting events "morning, noon, or night" until full operations return to normal. With the Brewers playing this weekend, SportClub will open at 11 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

"We are so excited to be back," says owner Mike Eitel. "It’s been a frustrating year after being shut down just as we were gearing up for the best year in our history going into March Madness and anticipating a deep run into the playoffs by the Bucks."

SportClub will offer "social bubble" indoor seating for small parties of up to 10 people in two different private areas. Parties of up to 25 people can reserve the covered patio and the bar will offer unreserved "General Admission Seating" indoors and outside on their sidewalk café.

The entire dining menu will return along with office box lunch deliveries, curbside carryout and eventually catering. SportClub will also offer a sidewalk service window for carryout and curbside delivery.

"I am seeing more and more life Downtown during the last couple of weeks," says General Manager Michele Thompson. "We have such an amazing fan base of regulars at SportClub—I know they’ll be back for our food, our bubbles and to watch their favorite teams."
