Three new Madision County restaurants are open. Another announces it will soon close

A new sports restaurant and lounge opened earlier this month and provides patrons with a comfortable sports-themed setting to kick back and enjoy food and drink while you enjoy the game.

The Clubhouse Sports Lounge + Kitchen, located at 1001 Enclave Blvd., Suite G, Edwardsville, celebrated its opening Wednesday, Sept. 18, said owner Kayla McMahan.

Already familiar with the restaurant business – her husband, Corey McMahan, owns multiple Joe’s Pizza & Pasta locations – she wanted to do something different.

The couple live in Edwardsville, so when a space in the area became available, she said it made sense to open a place here.

McMahan said plans to open The Clubhouse took around 10 months, and things are going well so far. With St. Louis sports being a big deal here, as well as the start of football season and support for area school teams, she wanted to provide a cool space to watch sports and enjoy a good atmosphere.

The Clubhouse is family-friendly and all are welcome, she said.

The menu includes the following:

  • Appetizers: charcuterie board, crab cakes, edamame, egg rolls, sweet potato fries;

  • Sandwedges (sandwiches): The Club – sliced grilled chicken, bacon, tomatoes, arugula, avocado aioli on toasted focaccia; For Birdie Sandwich – fried or grilled chicken breast with honey garlic sauce, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, arugula on a toasted brioche; both served with fries;

  • Salads, flatbreads, wings;

  • Burgers & Entrées that include smashburgers, sliders, pork chops, fish tacos and salmon.

Prices are in the $20 range.

Beverages include soft drinks, draft and canned beers, craft cocktails, wine, ciders and seltzers.

The Clubhouse Sports Lounge is currently open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday, and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday-Saturday.
