A Memorable Time at the War Eagle Supper Club: A Local’s Review
If you’ve ever searched for Auburn homes for sale or thought about making a move to Auburn, you probably already know this town has a way of wrapping you up in something special. And as someone who loves sharing the real Auburn lifestyle—from neighborhoods to restaurants to local gems—the War Eagle Supper Club at The Graduate Hotel has quickly become one of my favorite spots to recommend. Whether you’re visiting Auburn University, just moved here, or planning your relocation, this rooftop experience captures everything people love about living in Auburn.
A Rooftop View That Feels Like Auburn
The War Eagle Supper Club sits on the rooftop of the Graduate Hotel, one of the most Auburn-centric places you can stay if you’re visiting. The entire hotel is filled with nostalgia, personality, and Tiger spirit, much like what you feel when you visit Auburn University. Everywhere you look, there are nods to campus, gamedays, and traditions.
But the rooftop restaurant is the standout. You can see Samford Hall, the arena, and the energy of downtown Auburn from above. For people relocating to Auburn, this is one of the first places I recommend—they get to feel the heartbeat of the town instantly.
Food, Atmosphere, and Service
Dining here was a true treat. Great food, warm hospitality, and a fun-but-relaxed environment that feels perfect whether it’s a football weekend, a date night, or just a weekday dinner with friends. As a realtor who helps people relocate to Auburn University and to the wider Auburn-Opelika community, experiences like this matter. They help people picture their lives here.
If you’re visiting Auburn University for a campus tour or attending a game at Jordan-Hare Stadium, this spot is an easy add to your itinerary. The Graduate Hotel is steps from downtown and within walking distance to so many local favorites—including the Auburn Public Library—so it makes an ideal home base for anyone exploring the area.
A Local’s Perspective
Because I live here—and because I help people move to Auburn every day—I love giving those “only a local would know” insights. And truthfully, the rooftop at the Graduate Hotel delivers everything people imagine when they picture living near campus:
• A warm, small-town feel with modern amenities
• Pride in Auburn tradition
• Friendly service
• A view that makes you fall in love with the area
And when clients ask what life feels like in Auburn, this is exactly the vibe I describe.
A Little Story to Bring It to Life
One night while I was there, a couple visiting from Chicago asked me why people love Auburn so much. They were in town for a game and exploring neighborhoods because their daughter had accepted a faculty position at Auburn University. I pointed out Samford Hall glowing under the skyline and said, “This is why people move here—Auburn feels like home the moment you arrive.” They told me they could already feel it. A few months later, they reached out. I helped them find a home near Cary Woods, and today they’re happily settled into the Auburn lifestyle.
Moments like that remind me why I love what I do. Auburn isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling.
