About
KAMS has been a staple of the Champaign nightlife since its founding in 1933 as 'The Annex' by the Kamerer family. Originally serving food and non-alcoholic beverages during Prohibition, KAMS quickly became a beloved hangout spot after liquor was legalized. Over the years, it has changed ownership several times, each new chapter contributing to its rich legacy. In 1975, KAMS reopened at its current location, becoming a mainstay for students and locals alike. Known for its energetic atmosphere and deep-rooted history, KAMS regularly hosts events and parties, catering to those looking to enjoy a good time. Whether you're in for a casual night out or celebrating a special occasion, KAMS promises a memorable experience with great drinks and friendly faces. Come visit us and see why we’re the quintessential bar for the Illini community!
