STEP INTO THE SEASON AT THE CITY CLUB

At The City Club, the holidays don’t just sparkle — they completely transform the experience. Step through the doors and you’re met with timeless ambiance, festive energy, and that unmistakable warmth that only the season can bring. From crackling fireplaces to chef-driven feasts, nostalgic gatherings to spirited sips, the Club becomes a place where celebration feels effortless and every moment feels made just for you.We caught up with General Manager Bryan Chappell to find out more.

What will make the holiday season at The City Club special?  

The incredible atmosphere at the City Club during the holidays paired with our warm, attentive service makes every shift special. There's a beckoning nostalgia toward the Club during this time of year to come gather & celebrate with those close to you.

Are you offering any seasonal menus, events, or experiences this year — such as new cocktails, tastings, or New Year’s celebrations? 

We are always excited for our December events. Our Santa Brunch on Sunday, December 14th is always packed with families wanting to meet Santa Claus. We feature an expansive brunch buffet, and photo opportunities with Mr. Claus. Our last event before Christmas will be our Candlelight dinners on Friday/Saturday, December 19th & 20th and the evening centers around traditional ambiance with our roaring fireplaces, and candles everywhere. The dinner features a 3-course meal prepared by our Executive Chef, Tripp Engel, and both nights tend to sell out quickly. New Year's Eve Dinner is one of our favorite evenings of the year! We are the perfect start to your evening and offer a 4-course dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. 

We are offering a discounted initiation fee special of $200 off until 12/31/25-- normally $500.00. It's a great time to join!

What ingredients or flavors define your winter cocktail menu, and how do they reflect the spirit of the season? 

From the kitchen as well as from behind the bar you will notice similar tastes featuring rosemary, thyme, savory winter spices and robust notes of berries. We want to provide the perfect means to accompany fellowship & warm the soul.

Is there a signature cocktail guests shouldn’t miss during the holidays? 

Our two favorites at the moment are our Cranberry-Orange Rosemary Martini or our Apple Winter Spice Old Fashioned.

If you could capture the essence of the holidays at The City Club in a single moment, what would it look — or taste — like? 

After catching up with colleagues and friends you make your way to a table. A fireplace warms a busy dining room but you feel like the Club is yours alone. The service staff knows your preferences, and our Chef has prepared an incredible meal just for you. As you relax and perhaps indulge with an adult beverage you realize this is a perfect moment and soak it in.
