Long in history and filled with quiet elegance, the University and Whist Club, once considered as a location for the capital of the United States, is today Delaware’s premier fine-dining club. Nestled among Wilmington’s historic brownstones, the Club offers members, their families, and guests a unique setting to dine, entertain, and socialize while enjoying the Club’s long-standing reputation for first-class food, beverages, and service.

Recognized from our beginning in 1891 as a membership club, the benefits are many and extend to spouse and children under the age of 23. However, we do extend many services, including wedding receptions, business meetings, private functions, and more to non-members looking for a unique and exclusive venue to host their event. Whatever your needs, our friendly and attentive catering staff will help make your event extraordinary.

We have expanded over the years to provide members the best possible amenities and accommodations, and have a long legacy forged by Club presidents past and present. We continue to remain true to our founding mission statement. We provide superior food, beverage, and services to our members in an atmosphere of comfort, warm hospitality, and camaraderie. We invite you to be part of our history – we invite you to explore membership in the University and Whist Club.
