Every few years a rumor circulates that the War Eagle Supper Club is closing its doors. The rumors have always been false, until now. After 78 years of business, the War Eagle Supper Club will be closing its doors at the end of the year.
The rumor once again began circulating on Facebook last night and this morning we confirmed with owner John Brandt that the rumors are true.
"I hate to say it, but it's true this time," he said. "We plan to keep something going somewhere, but this venue is doomed. It's probably for the best. We've been fighting a losing battle out here. Between the city and the landlords and everybody else ... it's that time."
Brandt added that the building was bought a few years ago and he thought things would be fine.
"The building sold several years ago and he kept our same terms in our lease and we thought that everything was fine and the lease would be extended and basically he would have extended it, but wouldn't give us a long-term and it was going to be a lot more expensive than it is now and we just can't afford to do it," he said. "So, we're going to try to make the best of what we've got between now and then and we are going to try to relocate. It might not be The War Eagle Supper Club, but we're going to try to keep a live music venue in town."
Brandt said that New Year's eve of this year will be the last night the Supper Club is open and popular Southern rock band Telluride will perform.
"We're going to try to look for somewhere to go, but this building is it and we're going to go out with a bang," Brandt said.
At a quarter 'til midnight, on the eve of my 21st, some buddies and I left the band party where we were poonhounding just so I could finally say I'd been to the Supper Club. Some really good... and some equally bad times were had in that old dive since then. So for selfish nostalgic reasons, this is a little sad - but that's progress, I suppose.
I'm sure the location will make a fine spot for a condo... or perhaps a women's clothier boutique/artisan coffee shop.

Actually took the girlfriend to see them at the Supper Club after last year's LSU game.
They're as popular as ever, but the older I get the more I feel as creepy as them when I attend one of their shows.

Hot rock. Cold beer. Expect no mercy.

For me, they have changed Sweet Home Alabama forever. I can't listen to it without saying the proper Supper Club Lyrics.

It would be fun to go get kicked out one last time for old time's sake.

Good idea. The family will be with me and I could show the boys how I used to get the shit kicked...I mean, beat the hell out of a bouncer that gets too lippy with WT.

I wondered about that too. I thought maybe there was a (in)famous cover by one or the other, but it turns out he's just lame...
