About Us

The Rutgers Club is located on the second floor of Livingston Dining Commons in Piscataway.

Founded in 1957, the original location on College Avenue was one of New Brunswick’s historic houses built in 1915.  It was originally owned by Ernest Webb until 1956.  At that time, the University purchased the house and the Rutgers Club moved in. The Rutgers Club was established to “provide physical facilities for the alumni and faculty of Rutgers University for professional, social, cultural, and business meetings, to provide dining and other facilities which will promote and perpetuate amity and understanding among the members of the Rutgers family and the best interests of the University.” Today The Rutgers Club continues to operate as a not for profit, social club pursuant to 501(c) 7 of the Internal Revenue Code on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University. Membership is open to all friends – alumni, faculty, staff, students – of the University who wish to gather in the spirit of camaraderie and with true Rutgers Pride.

Members enjoy special culinary delights and programming in a unique collegiate and charming atmosphere. The Rutgers Club has the capacity to seat over 140 people for a wedding, anniversary, or other special occasion or up to 300 for a cocktail style event. Also, there are several smaller banquet and meeting rooms available. Call the Rutgers Club for more information. Visitors to the university are welcome to eat at the Club, but due to the limited seating availability during they are encouraged to make reservations.
