URBANA, IL (CHAMBANA TODAY) – Oskee’s Sports Pub, a new restaurant and neighborhood pub at Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois, will open this spring. The rebranded eatery reopens with an entirely new interior vibe and sense of place, honoring the relationship between Atkins Golf Club, the University of Illinois, and the Champaign-Urbana community.
Celebrating the rich legacy of Fighting Illini athletics, Oskee’s Sports Pub is named for “the yell that fills every heart with joy,” the good ‘ol fight song of Illinois—Oskee-Wow-Wow! Oskee’s.
The restaurant’s new name was teased at the March 5th men’s Fighting Illini basketball game versus Purdue with “Oskee’s Sports Pub – Coming Soon!” emblazoned on the video board during a timeout.
“We’re excited to partner with Troon Golf to open Oskee’s this spring. Oskee’s will be a family-friendly sports bar that will provide golfers quality food and service before, during and after the round. In addition, Oskee’s will be a great addition to Urbana and the entire community, which will welcome the non-golfer who is just looking for a casual sit-down restaurant bar to meet up with friends,” said University of Illinois Athletics Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director Marty Kaufmann.
The restaurant has something for everyone, breakfasts will be geared toward golfers, with quick and convenient options including egg sandwiches, wraps, pastries, and parfaits. The all-day menu will feature a selection of shareable plates, comfort foods, and local favorites.
Signature items, such as the “Winning Burger” include a dusting of gold-colored seasoning on the brioche bun, a subtle tribute to the University’s championship-winning teams.
