The Algoma Club( located above the WaterCity Grill)

About the Algoma Club:

The buildling is one of the oldest in Oshkosh, built: 1884.
It is the former location of the International Order of Oddfellows and the interior still reflects that history. The wooden floors, stained glass, and shotgun hole add to the historical feel of room. The Algoma Room is one large ballroom area, a middle section with a bar and seating, and a third room in the back.
There are two womens bathrooms and one male bathroom.

How to Book a Show:

Cover charge must be collected at door unless other arrangements are made.
Algoma Club does not collect profits from cover charge.
Fees will be charged if damages occur to property during show.
Promotion is up to musician/artist except for listings in Maximum Ink and the Oshkosh Northwestern. Since there is a bar in the area, drinking is allowed during 21+ over shows but artist/musican then holds responsibility for supplying people to check IDs at the door.
