Generations of friendship, shared meals, and memorable nights on Prospect.
Welcome to Colonial Club!
Established in 1891, Colonial Club is one of the oldest eating clubs on Prospect Avenue. As Colo members, we pride ourselves on having the best food, the most fun, and of course, the friendliest Princetonians. Here, you can learn more about the club's history, check out upcoming events, and see what's on today's menu.
Work hard. Play hard. Think forward.

Dear Alumni,
Colonial Club hosted over 1,000 people at Reunions. There was strong support and interest for our commemorative brick project, with bricks purchased as celebrations of significant events, of family or recent graduates, and as memorials to our dear classmates.
We can now offer a mini brick for your home or office display, as well as a full-sized replica in a Colonial Club logo display case.
We hope that as you start your summer and enjoy a bit of post-Reunions cheer, you will consider putting your imprint on our Club's walkway.
Please visit the website or use the QR code below to order your brick and support he future of Colonial Club:
Thank you for your continued support of Colonial Club.
All our best,
Colonial Club Graduate Board of Governors
