The Foyer
Right as you enter the Club from Genesee Street, the beauty of our foyer is unmistakable – a detailed wood staircase to your right, original artwork and seating to your left and a grand piano and a newly restored ceiling expanding ahead of you. The foyer serves as our warm welcome to members and guests and is also know to be transformed into a buffet area for our larger events or maybe become teeming with kids and crafts at our annual Halloween event.

Presidents Room
This room is aptly named for the portraits of the Club’s first six presidents that adorn the walls. This room is also the site of the first electricity in the city of Utica. You can frequently find regulars of the Club pausing in their day to read the newspaper in this room, or during events this space is a favorite to set up a bar and for mingling. If you need to do an impromptu, casual meeting before or after lunch, this gives you a great space to do that, too.

Reading Room
The newly decorated reading room and  is a perfect room to host hors deouvres before moving on to dinner or up to the ballroom, or just to relax in! A comfortable couch, chairs and a fireplace give it a warm, comfortable feeling. The artifacts in this room as definitely worth a look – original signatures from two of the United State’s first presidents, an antique grandfather clock and ornate fixtures and furniture awaits you.

Palm Room
This small space between the Reading Room and Oak Room is understated, but used for a multitude of extras. The Palm Room has housed buffets and carving stations, dessert stations, overflow guest tables for larger events, musicians, our iPod speaker system, and has even been turned into a dance floor. The wallpaper in this room is of distinct interest, for it’s details unveil the transformation of Utica through its industrial revolution. In 1999, a retired Meyda Tiffany glassworker came to the Club and restored the leaded glass window panes. This small space holds a great deal of detail - pause and take a look next time you’re at the Club!

Oak Room
The grandeur of this room is apparent as soon as you enter it. Gorgeous hand crafted vaulted ceiling, stunning windows and ornate woodwork surround members and their guests during lunch and dinnertime as well at almost all of our special events. This room gets a lot of use at the Club. The fireplace works and is often using during the long winter months. This part of the building was constructed in the late 1890s. 

The Bar Area
Not only is it just that (where the bar is!) but it’s also a quaint pub-like space to grab a casual, quiet lunch during the week. Small parties may also enjoy it at dinnertime upon request. During our many Club events, the bar here is always open and becomes a favorite hang out for many.

Formal Dining Room
This beautiful room used to be called The Ladies Annex. At one time women were not allowed to enter the front of the Club and the members built this section of the club to accommodate the members’ spouses and their children. This addition was added in the early 1900’s. Recently this room has been renovated and has now become one of the favorite rooms for private use by the members, as well as a preferred room for dinner service during our events. The four cozy booths in each corner are favorite places to dine.

The Cocktail Lounge
Off to the side of The Family Dining Room, by the staircase, is a small room called The Cocktail Lounge. It is a small sitting room used for cocktails and semi-private dining for small groups. 

Green Room
Once used as the waiting room for actors at the Stanley Theatre, this quaint room is now the perfect setting for group of up to 35 people. The room set up is great for board meetings, retreats and even small cocktail parties. This room has easy access from our second entrance off of Court Street for a more private feel.

Manager’s Office
The current manager’s office used to be the home of the Club’s barbershop where the many members had their daily shaves, weekly haircutting appointments and their shoes shined.

Game Room
Very recently renovated, the Game Room now is home to a 42” flatscreen TV and is perfectly suited for poker games (a tournament is actually played by a growing group once a month here). This space has also been known to be transformed into a mini movie theatre for kid’s nights.

Ballroom
The ballroom graciously accommodates banquets of up to 125 people, and also serves well for professional meetings. The ballroom has seen many a performer on its stage for our popular family events in the fall, as well as intriguing lectures, wedding receptions and business seminars. Renovation of the ballroom was just completed in 2008 and is more stunning than ever.

The Third Floor
On the third floor, the Club used to provide overnight guest accommodations. These guest rooms have not been used since before 1970. Just before they were no longer used, the Club had a single male manager who lived on the premises 24/7. This floor is no longer open.
