The Lazarus of Santa Clara: The Hut reopens.

If I had a dollar

Once upon a time, if you were to look up at the ceiling of The Hut for even just a second, your eye would be assaulted with thousands of marked-up $1 bills. That money wasn’t the bar’s profit—the bills were left by generations of graduating seniors.

Not a kid anymore

The morning of commencement, before walking across that stage, graduates and their families stopped by The Hut to share a drink together in another cherished Santa Clara tradition dubbed “Dads and Grads.”

Love shack

The Hut has served as the catalyst for many Bronco love stories. In fact, it’s where Catie (Lawrence) Calcagno ’10 met her husband Michael Calcagno ’11, among many, many other couples.

Compliments to the chef

When Mary Battaglia ’06 was a senior, she bartended at The Hut. Back then, it seemed like there was a special every night, like Jager bomb Tuesdays. You won’t find that anymore, though. Daily specials at The Hut today are more likely to include smoked meats and locally sourced vegetables.
