1899 Social Club
Newly open since March 3 in Shaker Heights, 1899 Social Club is a dynamic entertainment venue with golf, games and casual fine dining and drinks at its center. Boasting a modern country club aesthetic, owner Brian Lindenbaum says with 1899, he aimed to create a “welcoming, chic space that aligns with the elevated experience we offer.”
Those experiences include a casual fine dining room, two craft cocktail bars, the Speakeasy Trophy Room and nine TrackMan golf simulators. Guests can play a variety of games on the simulators, or tee it up on over 250 championship golf courses from around the world like Pebble Beach or Muirfield Village.
“The great thing about TrackMan simulators is they are for everyone,” Lindenbaum says in an email. “Players on the PGA Tour use them to dial in their swing, so they are as accurate as any amateur could ever want, but they also offer a variety of games for kids and more casual players.”
As far as food, 1899 offers twists on familiar ingredients for lunch, brunch and dinner. Its lunch/simulator menu is best described as elevated bar food, Lindenbaum says, which includes a wagyu burger, hot chicken sandwich and sharable items. The dinner menu has a more upscale, new American vibe, including a variety of steaks. The brunch menu is Lindenbaum’s personal favorite, he says, and includes shakshuka, chicken and waffles, and other traditional brunch dishes. Brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday.
And despite the country club look and feel, 1899 certainly is not “members only,” Lindenbaum says. While it offers memberships, the spot at 20040 Van Aken Blvd. and its amenities are open seven days a week to the public.
